Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ultimate F40?

[Dennis Liu (bigheaddennis]

Bah.  400 lbs lighter?  Methinks not.  Ferrari's claimed curb weights have
always been, shall we say, sketchy.  So if a "regular" F40 is 2600 lbs, they
actually removed 400 lbs by using thinner panels and magnesium bits in the
engine?  No way.  As for the claim of it being the "ultimate F40", well the
later F40 LMs/GTEs must surely deserve that title, no?  Which is not to say
that this particular example is not unique and maybe even collectible for
being a show car and prototype, but I doubt that it's that much more fun to
drive than your run-of-the-mill F40.

I'd be really interested, admittedly, in the real story as to how it got
into private hands, given the history of the Buitoni family and Ferrari.

Vty,

--Dennis
