It's wrap... and IMO, it's horrendously tacky.

Would have been a bit less offensive if they had left the lights alone and not stuck that hiddeous rear wing on it.

I agree. On some cars I actually don't mind the matte black type of look so much, but on the F40 I don't feel it looks good at all - not to mention I feel it takes away tremmendously from the beauty of the F40 And as you said, the rather offensive wing and tail lights aren't helping the cause.

Yo dawg, i put carbon fiber on your carbon fiber.

23 years after its launch and the F40 continues to put all other supercars on this planet to shame incase of design, looks and overall impression. I agree with Clarkson: It is the best supercar ever made.

I'll have to disagree even though the F40 is one of my all time favorite super car



But the Mclaren F1 takes that title. Especially the LM

Hiddeous as it may be, it's built on the same specs as the GTE racer, so it does serve a purpose.

I love how people state things like these.. You driven them all, just like him, yeah...

The wing on the F40 is ferrari's own LM item fitted to the race spec F40's

 

[TheCracker]

Silver F40LM FTW

 

[Blitz187]

^^^ Yup that F40 has been posted before... Absolutlely Beautiful!

 

[~Sp33~]

Did they even make this many f1's?

 

[Blitz187]

From the good ole Wiki!

Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998. In all, 106 cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.

 

[TheCracker]

I count 17 in that image, they made 106.

 

[~Sp33~]

I just made the comment to emphasise the unlikely event of that many F1's being in the same place at the same time.

Good work on counting to 17.

Personally, I think matt black wraps are finished... they were cool a few years back, but they are soooo 'done to death' nowadays.

And fake carbon fiber, on one of the seminal supercars of all time... pleeeeease!

Seen that silver F40 before... and it's a stunner 👍

 

[TheCracker]

Good work on counting to 17.

Thanks, i like to push myself whenever the opportunity arises

[Leonidae@MFT]

*Sigh* They don't make cars like this anymore.. Think about it.. back in the day, even Opel was able to produce something beautiful like this.

"YAY I'M A F40 LM! "

It looks like a 5-year-old kid that's just found a box of chocolate icecream.

 

[JER_CREST]

They Made 100 in total that include race variants.

That's actually at the McLaren technology center where they also have some of their old F1 cars in display.

It's really an astonishing accomplishment of modern engineering...

Great video SpeedJunkie.
I not only watched the McLaren but also all the others that were featured on YouTube.
I could watch those all day.

I'm not gonna argue about the Clarkson bit, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to drive cars to judge them based on looks or overall impression.

 

[eiriksmil]

Not on looks or the feeling you get by looking at them, that's true..! But stating that X is the best xx ever made is something that requires knowledge, based on experience It's a bold statement, but at least a road tester has the grounds for it

I do believe it's called an opinion. Bram was only speaking of looks anyways so in his experience of viewing the cars he has came to the conclusion the F40 is the best. He wasn't trying to pass it off as a fact.

The silver F40 is just plain amazing! Now, if only we could hear it...

Well next time you're in Michigan let me know. I'll be more then happy to let you hear it .

**** it, I say keep your Mini and mod it..

 

[niky]

Wasn't the F40 made from carbon fibre anyway or am I way off?

If it was, then I can't see the point of giving it a wrap when you could just remove the paint and laquer it as it is...

I think he wanted the dry-carbon look... probably can't get that with the original CF without destroying it.

I would have remolded all the panels in dry CF, myself, but you wouldn't get good delineation around the stamped "F40"... which is probably why they went with wrap.
