Three-Quarter Front view of a Ferrari F40 on display at the London Motor Show
Front-end view of a Ferrari F40 on display at the London Motor Show. It is a mid-engine sports car that was produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992. It was formerly the fastest street legal production car in the world, holding this record from 1987 to was produced by Ferrari as the successor to the 288 GTO, with which it shared some parts and had ceased production in 1986. During its production run, the F40 was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful and most expensive vehicle and it remains one of the highest performing street legal vehicles ever produced. The F40's light weight of 1100 kg (2425 lb) and high power output of 478 PS (352 kW/471 hp) at 7000 rpm gave the vehicle tremendous performance potential. Road tests have produced 0-100 km/h (62 mph) times as low as seconds (while the track only version came in at seconds), with 0-160 km/h (100 mph) in seconds and 0-200 km/h (125 mph) in 11 seconds giving the F40 a slight advantage in acceleration over the Porsche 959, its primary competitor at the time. The F40 was the first road legal production car to break the 200 mph (322 km/h) barrier. From its introduction in 1987 until 1989, it held the record as the world's fastest production car, with a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph);
