The 1987 Ferrari F40 (F120) is a mid-engine, lightweight supercar developed by Ferrari to celebrate the 40th anniversary.

Designed by Pininfarina, the F40 featured body parts made of carbon fibre, aluminium, and kevlar. It was the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari.

At the time it was the fastest production car, surpassing the 200 mph (322 km/h) milestone. In addition, it is often compared to its rival at the time, the Porsche 959.
