Launched in 1987 and with only 1315 units produced, the Ferrari F40 is one of the most iconic models of the Maranello brand. For this reason, whoever has one treats it, as a rule, as if it were a work of art.
Maybe they don't reach the “exaggeration” of storing it in a plastic bubble as it happened with this BMW 7 Series, but with a high degree of certainty that they don't drive it as if it were any rally car or one of the protagonists of Ken's videos Block.
However, there is one lucky one who has the iconic Ferrari (the last model of the brand to be approved by Enzo Ferrari) and who uses it as it has never been used. Proving it is the latest video from YouTube channel TheTFJJ in which we see an F40 drifting, tackling a dirt track and spinning tops in the grass!
Throughout the video we are even presented with “appearances” of machines like the Ariel Nomad or the Toyota GR Yaris, Audi RS2 and even a Bugatti Veyron.
The Ferrari F40
Contrary to what you might think, this F40 is not a well-crafted replica of the Italian supercar. It is even one of the 1315 examples that left the assembly line, the only changes that this one received are the huge rear wing and a new diffuser in addition to some gray notes in the showy yellow paintwork.
Despite the direct exhaust, we do not know if there was any further mechanical change. If that hasn't happened, animating this Ferrari F40 is still a V8, biturbo with 2.9 l of capacity that debited 478 hp at 7000 rpm and 577 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm, figures that allowed it to reach 320 km/h or 200 mph — the first production car to achieve it.
While seeing a Ferrari F40 being used in the way it is used may cause some awkwardness, it's always better to have that "end" than to end up abandoned like the F40 that was once Saddam Hussein's son.
