Please put your speakers at max and don't forget to put in your earplugs. This F40 is fitted with a Tube exhaust. ...  

Apparently a racing driver, but rest assured ! This was filmed in Germany at the Autobahn ;-) .... lolol

I think in the Brussels region, obviously they mentioned it was done in Germany.

.. sur l'autoroute Roi Beaudoin aves un jolie 'Prince Albert' dans le XXXXX ;-)

That's something only a naturally aspirated Ferrari can do. 🤘😎

I find more attractive in Ferraris than in Astons overall. 😉

hihi

.. is equipped with Japanese turbo's (IHI). This is a high revving turbo engine and with a nice exhaust they can scream as well. Not the high pitch as a .. let's say 9000 or 9500 rpm GT3 or F12.

I totally forgot about that....

Otherwise the specific power outputs wouldn’t fly back then 🤷🏻‍♂️

F40 in red, 288 in yellow 😁....

Got quite a large collection of 1:18 cars in the meantime. In need of unpacking at some point 😉

I remember how special was to use the word "biturbo" everytime you wanted to emphasize how fast was a vehicle. You know that there was even a Maserati model with that name! I also perfectly remember one day driving my blue Piaggio Sì just behind an F40 in... 

Its sportier expression, the Shamal: All an era. ...  

and fuzzy feeling deep inside. I absolutely love it! Now if I could only manage to get behind the wheel of one or something just as crazy 😁.

Simply amazing.

The constable would stop me right away and tell me I'm crazy if I did this in USA. And he'd be right!

FORMIDABLE!!!

But the F40 is magic.

They are completely different means of transportation. And not so sure a Model 3 (Performance) will be faster, I only had 3 'races' against a Model 3 (alway standard models I presume). One with the 280 hp Megane at a red light and he couldn't keep up, twi... 

But the past few years my fame has tamed down

According to Google: F40: 0–60 mph: 4.1 seconds Model 3: 0–60 mph: 4.0 seconds The "Performance" Model 3 is 0–60 mph is 2.8 seconds. My point is the f40 was a SUPER expensive car (still is). A Model 3 is a very affordable car and it specs as well or bette... 

But do you think this is the point? These old cars are like the difference between Guy Savoye and Mac Donald. They delight you, while the EV just transport you...

What I mean to say that, for example, the interior of an F40 isn't really nice. The ride is hard and loud. When it came out the big "wow" was speed and certainly looks. Speed is no longer impressive so we are left with looks. I guess, for me, the differen... 

.... you try an f40 ;-) ... and then you will say it might not have any comfort compared to the Tesla but at 50 mph it feels ten times faster than the Tesla at top speed. And we're not even talking about the sound, vibrations etc.

I've never been in an F40 but I have driven an Aventador and, thought it was much cooler looking and certainly more of a head turner, it felt sluggish and heavy after driving an EV. ICE is just old tech now - Like a prop plane vs jet.

Well... Just aren't as cool as they once were: ...  

It’s hopping like a go kart, as if the wheels were bolted to the car as opposed to suspended? Have seen quite some supercars driven also on bumpy roads but never jumping up and down like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

.. set at wide angle view, on a stick .... gives you these strange movements.

Otherwise the F40 should have gone to one place only - a garage 😉😂
