A Ferrari F40 in Azzurro Hyperion blue slices through the Monterey mist, its angular silhouette a stark contrast to the predictable reds and yellows of its lineage. With an asking price hovering around $2.8 million at RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2025 auction, this “Blue Chip F40” will most certainly make you look twice.
What makes the F40 so special? This iconic supercar first rolled out to the public back in 1987, and it was Enzo Ferrari’s last big hurrah for the car world. The legendary 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 churns out 471 horsepower and 426 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual. This particular one kicked off its life in that classic Rosso Corsa red straight from the factory, heading to its first owner in Japan back in 1992. But things took a wild turn in the late 2010s when the owner decided to shake it up with a makeover, turning it into the stunning blue beauty you see now.

Azzurro Hyperion is this deep, eye-catching blue shade that you almost never spot on a Ferrari—it’s something special, for sure. The hue, applied by Carrozzeria Zanasi in Maranello, shifts under light. Complementing the paint are carbon-fiber accents, including the front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser.
This F40 isn’t just about looks either, as it has performance upgrades too. A Michelotto LM gearbox, sourced from Ferrari’s racing division, delivers F40 LM-like shifts. The twin-turbo V8 is now fitted with a Tubi exhaust, while a KW lift suspension allows the car to glide over bumpy roads. Brembo GT brakes, massive and unrelenting, ensure stopping power matches the car’s relentless acceleration.
RM Sotheby’s estimates this F40 will fetch between $2.5 and $2.8 million, a figure that reflects its rarity and craftsmanship. Standard F40s have sold for similar sums, with a 1991 model hitting $3.58 million in Miami 2025 and a 1989 example reaching £1.97 million in London 2024.
