Here's Why the Ferrari F40 Is Worth $1.3 Million

Imagine going in a back alley to do some crack and seing an F40

It is sad to know that the engineer who created the F40 is almost unknown. His name is Nicola Materazzi, he is the person behind 288 GTO, F40, Testarossa (1984), Lancia Stratos, he also worked at Bugatti EB110 and the B Engineering Edonis. For F40 he took care of everything, not only the engine. Around the web can find his interviews, a great engineer and a humble person.

Sadly, the designer of this car and the Lancia Stratos, Ing. Nicola Materazzi, passed away yesterday at 83. A legend who didn't received much credit for his masterpieces

It's crazy that this car hasn't aged at all, it still looks modern and crazy....its such a beautiful and timeless design.

Best comment ever made about an F40, made by Jeremy Clarkson (paraphrased) "The best thing about an F40 was the immense turbo lag. Because it gave other cars hope" lol

Thin paint for weight savings. Engineers double headlights, one set with motors...

I feel like Doug is always in amazement that he is actually driving these amazing cars. That's why people flock to his videos. We can relate. He is not smug in any way. He's like a kid in a toy store!

Imagine being on 95 North and seeing an F40 being followed by a yellow Land Rover defender. And THEN seeing a wood panel Ford Flex right next to them.

The most expensive car to unlock on any old console racing game.

"not designed for idiots" Best line 👌

Doug then "this" Doug now: "THHISSS"

Doug is the type of guy to stick his hands through the air vents of an F40 without its consent.

Doug: drives for 15minutes around town in a 1,3mil car. Also Doug: says he just looked in the mirror for the first time Insurance: WhAt ThE FUcc

Wow this whole car is nerve wracking, but the tipping point for me would be trying to shift into 1st and grinding the gear box while realizing I've just put it in reverse, lol. I still want one though!

The F40 is my #1 favorite Ferrari of all time. From its pop-up headlights to its unmistakable wing. What an awesome car. Even the hood looks aerodynamic as well.

That's the most beautiful Ferrari ever made in my opinion.

Ok, im completly informed before buying an f40, only deciding between tamiya or revell.

A note about the crazy air intakes. Each one of them serves a purpose, unlike a lot of cars made by Toyota today. On the side, the lower NACA duct forward of the rear wheel is the rear brake cooler, the one above that gets vented to the intercooler on that side. The intake behind the rear-side window, (the one Doug did not know existed) is the combustion air supply for the engine intake into the filter box on that side of the engine. The NACA ducts on the top, just under the wing, are for the oil and transmission oil coolers. Those vents through the lexan rear-window are actually really necessary to allow, not only engine heat out, but even more so for the heat rejected from the two intercoolers right bellow that window. I think the two little NACA ducts on the hood converge into one intake and allow air into the cabin, though I am not entirely sure about that.

practicality - 1 cool factor - 11 features - its an F 40 styling - 12
