Dream Road : Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupé sports car produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992 as the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO. From 1987 to 1989 it held the title as the world’s fastest street-legal production car, and during its years of production, was Ferrari’s fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car. The car had no traction control, and was one of the few to utilize turbochargers.

The car debuted with a factory suggested retail price of approximately US$400,000, although some buyers were reported as paying as much as US$1.6 million. A total of 1,315 F40s were produced.

Power came from an enlarged, 2.9 L (2936 cc) version of the GTO’s twin IHI turbocharged V8 developing 478 PS (352 kW; 471 hp) under 110 kPa (16 psi) of boost. The F40 did without a catalytic converter until 1990 when US regulations made them a requirement for emissions control reasons. The flanking exhaust pipes guide exhaust gases from each bank of cylinders while the central pipe guides gases released from the wastegate of the turbochargers.

The Porsche Carrera GT (Project Code 980) is a mid-engine sports car from Porsche in Leipzig, Made in Germany.

The development of the Porsche Carrera GT can return back to their predecessors, the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. Due in part to the FIA and ACO rule changes in 1998, both designs had ended. Porsche had planned at the time on a new Le Mans prototype in 1999. The car was originally to use a turbo flat-6, but was later revised to use a new V10 engine, pushing the project back to the planned completion in 2000. The V10 was a unit secretly built by Porsche for the Footwork Formula One team in 1992 but later shelved. The engine was developed for the Le Mans prototype and increased in size risen 5.7 liters.

Unfortunately, the project was done in two days of testing for the first car in mid-1999, due primarily to do the Porsche Cayenne SUV with involvement from Volkswagen and Audi build and require engineering skills are thus pulled from the motorsports division. It was also speculated that VW-Audi chairman Ferdinand Piech Audi’s new Le Mans Prototype, the Audi R8 is not the competition from Porsche in 2004 was given.
