This car was built with one purpose in mind: to beat the Porsche 959. Enzo Ferrari was 90 years old, and he had become very aggitated at the idea of his car company taking a back seat in performance racing from the likes of a German manufacturer like Porsche. He accomplished that goal, as the F40 had a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, slightly faster than the Porsche. It also reached a top speed of 201 mph, a speed that would remain a record for a production car for 2 years before being bested by the RUF CTR Yellowbird, a car derived from a Porsche 930. The retail price for the very rare F40 was $500,000, although some collectors were paying as much as $1.6 million. Today, they typically sell for around their original retail price of $500,000. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has listed this car as his favorite supercar. You'd be lucky to find one of these for sale, but they do pop up on eBay a few times each year. You can also find posters and models of this car on eBay.
