As a late-production model, it benefits from Ferrari’s refinements, including adjustable suspension, catalytic converters, and updated fueling, making it more user-friendly while preserving its legendary performance. This F40 has remained exclusively in German hands until we recently acquired it, marking the first time it has left its home country. Unlike many F40s with unclear histories, this car has a fully documented ownership record, with four known owners and no gaps in its provenance. The service book has been stamped from new, with all maintenance performed at Ferrari or specialists.

The wheels remain original, featuring the Speedline logo on the inner surfaces, aligning with factory specifications. The car is fitted with Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tires, with no signs of uneven wear, indicating proper alignment and suspension maintenance. The interior remains in outstanding condition, with the dashboard and center console presenting flawlessly. The seats have been reupholstered, while the floor and trim show minimal signs of use, reflecting the careful ownership. The F40 retains its original factory exhaust system, and the engine and transmission operate flawlessly following the most recent overhaul. This example stands out as an honest, well-maintained, and fully documented Ferrari F40. Many lower-mileage examples on the market have gaps in their history, raising questions about odometer accuracy. This car, in contrast, has been used and maintained as intended, with every aspect of its history accounted for.»
