Many people call the F40 the best Ferrari, considering it to be the last model that Commendatore himself was involved in. Enzo Ferrari died just a year after the supercar was unveiled.
Only 1311 units were ever built, and they are now worth millions. A low-mileage example sold at Sotheby's in 2023 for $3,3 million. However, at the rate at which F40s are disappearing, their value is only set to increase.
Just recently, an F40 was involved in a horrific accident in the United Kingdom, and now footage of another accident has emerged.
According to preliminary data, the incident occurred in Monaco with a Ferrari car belonging to Lando Norris. The supercar hit a barrier, but the Formula 1 driver was not at the wheel. It is noted that this accident preceded an accident in Britain, which allegedly occurred in early January, when the McLaren driver celebrated the New Year in Dubai.
Cause of accident

Turbo lag has been a major issue since the F40 was developed. When the twin-turbo V8 kicks in, you better be prepared.
Without electronic aids such as stability control to maintain the car's trajectory, loss of control of a rear-wheel drive Ferrari built more than 30 years ago could happen instantly. Mechanical failure should also not be ruled out.
In any case, this F40 needs less repair than the one that crashed in Britain. The Pininfarina body, made of Kevlar, carbon fiber and aluminum, needs some work, but the damage seems to be limited to the rear of the car.
Interestingly, the F40 didn't come with the original wheels. Pictures taken late last year when Norris picked up the car show the F40 fitted with a custom Enkei kit, created to replicate the rims fitted to the rare F40 LM.
