- This is one of just 27 Ferrari F40s converted from street to race spec.

- It’s offered with lots of major spare parts, including body panels and engine bits.
Ferrari built its racing reputation over decades of fierce competition. Today, though, it’s also well-known for its road-going supercars and for its merchandise. This F40, up for sale at auction, is a car that ticks both street and racing boxes.

Initially, when this 1989 F40 rolled off the production line, it was a “normal”, road-going F40. According to Broad Arrow Auctions, however, this is one of just 27 road-going F40s converted for racing use.

In the late 1990s, the owner of the time had the car transformed for racing. That included the fixed headlights you see on this car and lots of engine work. The F40 originally made 471 horsepower and 426 lb-ft of torque.
This one, after modifications, makes 648 horsepower (483 kW) and 562 lb-ft (763 Nm) of torque. That helped it when it raced against cars like the Lister Storm and Chrysler Viper GTS-R in 2000. That’s right, this car competed over a decade after it rolled off the production line.
Today, it’s long been a regular participant at track days, historic motorsport events, and other car shows. Its last track day was at Imola, and it continues to be in condition to go back. Forget supercars that sit in a garage with almost no mileage. This is a Ferrari that the next owner can drive and drive hard without fear of it losing gobs of value.
In case all of this wasn’t enough, this F40 doesn’t come alone. It’s offered with a complete package of spare parts. And we’re not talking about tiny bits like extra brake pads and some light bulbs.
Whoever buys this gets spare body panels – including a front clamshell -, cylinder heads, valve covers, exhaust manifolds, intercoolers, and more. The buyer could end up with one of the coolest Ferraris ever and several extra parts to turn into art and then flip for some extra cash.
