The Ferrari F40 is probably one of the most famous and iconic Super cars ever build. In fact, the Italian prancing horse factory planned to build only 400 of them, but eventually delivered 1315 cars.
Build as a the successor to the company’s GTO supercar, they designed the F40 to be a light weight 1100 kg (2425 lb) high power output Supercar

Delivering 478 PS (352 kW/471 hp) at 7000 rpm gave the vehicle tremendous performance potential. It could reach 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in as low as 3.8 seconds. They also build a track version of the car that did it in 3.2 seconds. ) The Ferrari F40 therefor won the battle against its main competitor, the Porsche 959. The Ferrari F40 is know as the most raw and aggressive Supercar build by the Italian brand.
