Lee Iacocca's Ferrari F40

Ferrari F40
This single slipped under my radar until it was pointed not worth it on any more blog so as to the 1991 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta being open in support of trade by the side of the RM Auctions trade this weekend was originally owned by nothing other than Lee Iacooca. This car whilst it was new-fangled was single of my poster cars along with the Lamborghini Countach in my bedroom. And it is still considered the ultimate by many car enthusiasts. This car has three owners, the at the outset of which being Lee Iacocca, father of the Mustang and the K-car. And since 1991 has simply covered 300 miles, making this car probably the lowest mile F40s in existence. The F40 was conceived by Enzo Ferrari to memorialize the company's 40th anniversary building cars and was the keep up car Enzo oversaw to completion. Powered by a twin turbo, 3 liter V8 with 471 horse power was unheard of by the side of the instant from a factory built car. 0-60 was 3.9 seconds and possibly will grasp 140 miles for each hour in under 14 seconds. Simply 400 examples were endlessly produced with fewer end up on American shores. 1991 was the keep up archetype time in support of the F40, and with the mileage and ownership line, makes this single special car. It has plus in no way been registered or upper-class. That's straight, this car is still on the Ferrari MSO. This car keeps getting better and better. RM estimates the worth linking $650 and $750,000 dollars. We'll be following this single in support of certain.

Update: This car sold for $710,000.
