Life With a Ferrari F40?
You want one. She wants one. We all want one.
So, assuming that you have a spare million dollars, what’s the reality of living with Ferrari’s iconic supercar? We find out in the November issue of Classic Motorsports. We drive it and chat with an expert.
Any guesses now what we find? Expensive and complicated? Surprisingly benign?
Even if it’s out of reach, we can all dream, right?
It may be an iconic Ferrari, but it's a mid-80s one, so its still pretty analog. My guess is this is one of those cars that works better when driven as intended. Driven hard, but maintained. So, other than the one Chris Harris got to flog with the F50, and the one on the TaxTheRich100 YouTube channel, that leaves basically none of them.

I wonder which one is more difficult to live with?

I'd drive that. All day every day.

matching it up with the pic of the real one, really all that needs to be done is some lower springs and wheels with the correct offset and a lot of normal people would be fooled.

Coming from the other side of the pages, this one was fun to put together. Sure, I have personally wanted an F40 since its debut. Doesn't matter that it's out of my grasp. It's always been the one. Whenever I see one at an event, I'll linger.
But what's the reality of ownership? Is it a complicated mess? Surprisingly easy to live with? So we put together this piece for the upcoming issue of Classic Motorsports. Hope that a few of you check it out.
