Notes :
Ferrari F40, the last great Ferrari IMO, no electronics aids, just pure man and machine
This car is one of my most favorite ride in GT5 and GT6, and it's well known for it's inaccuracy in terms of stats and stock setup.
I made this special replica build with the main goal of correcting the mistakes and make it handle more like a Ferrari, whatever that means
First of all, there are 2 region market for Ferrari F40, Europe and US. Both has distinctive setup from power, weight to gearing.
The EU market has much lighter dry weight and comes with lift kit/variable ride height suspension system from factory, with lower final gear and slightly different 2nd and 5th gear
This replica is a representation of EU F40 with lift kit, EIBACH ERS springs installed and lowest reported corner weight ( dry ).
The power of EU F40 from dyno reports with cat installed of 471HP / 478PS / 478CV with dry weight of 1143kg / 2520 lbs and 42/58 weight distribution.
Some EU F40 do not have cats installed, usually the early years model, these non Cats F40 has been reported to have in excess of 500HP, some even dynoed with close to 520PS or 513HP.
To achieve the power figure of non cats EU F40, I decided to include 2 optional upgrades path, one uses high rpm range turbo kit and exhaust manifold, the other intake tuning and exhaust manifold. The specs are listed above.
For suspension, I have used EIBACH ERS springs at 8.25kg/mm front and 12.0kg/mm rear, maintaining spring ratio for the stock F40 spring rate, as the stock value can't be achieved. Damper setup for street and track, with ARB set for balance. Toe and camber has been setup with real world alignment values, based on F355 alignment which from report share similar alignment with F40 - closest information I can get
An alternate spring rate at 12kg/mm front and rear also provided, this is more oriented for high speed cornering and sweepers.
The real Ferrari F40 has ZF Self Locking LSD, the closest similar setup that I could find decent info from is also from Ferrari F355, so I used the F355 LSD spec for this build, 45% lock.
Transmission has also been fixed, with correct EU F40 ratios and final. Top speed of real F40 in US record at 324kmh/201mph has also been replicated.
The F40 was extensively tuned/tested at Ascari, Tsukuba, Spa, Bathurst, Nordschleife, SSR7, Apricot Hill, Brands Hatch GP and Willow Springs.
I also managed to replicate the real life lap time of F40 at Tsukuba, done on Best Motoring at 1:03.73. The car easily do 1:02s comfort soft - slightly quicker than the US F40, as it should
Another real life at Suzuka record 2:25.27 in real life can easily be replicated.
ENJOY
