Synonymous with one of the most extreme supersports in history, the F40 designation is back in the car world. The point is that it doesn't appear in a model of the Cavallino Rampante brand, but in a jeep of the Chinese brand BAIC (or Beijing).
The new F40 is nothing more than a renovation of the BAIC BJ40 (yes, this designation also “has an owner”), which had an identity crisis and decided to change its name. Under the hood does not appear a bi-turbo V8 but a four-cylinder with 2.3 l, 231 hp and 345 Nm.
Launched in 2013, the F40 is “brother” of another model that we talked about a while ago, the clone of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, also known as the BAIC BJ80.

Interestingly, in the past the F40 name was almost used by another model (the Volvo V40), but that's a story for another article.
