No, this isn’t a Ferrari F40, but rather the F-Racer Junior, a go-kart modeled after the iconic supercar. This 3/4 scale model is so detailed that it may fool many in pictures, measuring 8.5-feet x 5.25-feet and weighing in at 551 pounds, complete with a 270cc engine that helps the go-kart achieve a top speed of 40 mph.
The 270cc engine features a key-start ignition, mated to a 2:1 reduction gearbox, making it great for track days should this not be safely stowed away in a temperature-controlled garage somewhere. Despite being a go-kart, the F-Racer Junior boasts an independent wishbone suspension with oil-dampened coil shock absorbers, rear differential, and hydraulic brake discs all around. Inside, there are two bucket seats upholstered in genuine cloth material. Interested? RM Sotheby’s is auctioning off this gem at the Monterey Conference Center on August 18-20, 2022, and it’s expected to fetch up to $40,000 USD.
