F40 (1987 to 1992)

The Ferrari F40 (1987–1992) remains the ultimate "Enzo-era" icon, being the final masterpiece personally approved by Enzo Ferrari to celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary and serving as a raw, twin-turbocharged evolution of the 288 GTO. In the 2026 Australian market, the F40 is currently experiencing a historic moment: RR Auctions launched its inaugural sale (February 15–25, 2026), featuring a rare 1990 Ferrari F40 as the headline act—one of the few specimens residing on Australian soil. While Ferrari never officially produced a factory right-hand-drive (RHD) F40 (excluding the ultra-exclusive Brunei Royal Family commissions handled by Pininfarina), the desirability of this 471hp (351kW) carbon-fibre legend is unmatched, especially as it represents the last purely analogue supercar before the move to the F50. The buyer pool for this auction is a global elite of high-net-worth investors and Formula 1 aficionados who view the F40 not just as a vehicle, but as a sovereign-grade alternative asset that has historically outperformed traditional markets. With only 1,315 units ever built, an Australian-based F40 represents a "once-in-a-generation" liquidity event for the local collector community, as these cars are rarely offered for public sale outside of the European or American circuits.
