This Ferrari F40 finished in Grigio Nardo with ‘Competizione’ mods has near 1,000hp and could be the most aggressive one being offered for sale this year. Does it look familiar? If so, that’s because it was constructed to look like the Ferrari F40 LM, which was limited to just 19-units worldwide, but this one (chassis #80782) started its life as a ‘non-cat, non-adjust’ chassis.
It wasn’t until 1995 that the chassis was modified to remain competitive in racing by G-Tex of the UK, with engine mods that boost output to anywhere between 700hp – 1000hp, mated to a possibly reinforced 5-speed manual transmission. This same vehicle was actually raced until 2009 by a UK-based racing team before being shipped off to the Zanasi Group of Maranello, Italy. This vehicle is currently for sale via a private party and is expected to sell for $2.5+ million USD. Fortunate, you won’t be seeing this Pontiac Fiero-based Ferrari F40 knockoff for sale anytime soon.

As part of a cosmetic restoration the car was completely disassembled with the body fully stripped to its bare materials. The car was then repainted in triple-layer Grigio Nardo in place of the traditional red, with contrasting electric blue fabric seats and painted Scuderia Ferrari shields, in the style of the Scuderia Ferrari sports racing cars from the 1960s. At the same time, the car was also mechanically serviced. Invoices for the work at Zanasi total to over €123,000.00 with work completed just a few months ago,” said the seller.
