I’ll be honest with you — I’ve never understood the appeal of the Ferrari F40. I think it’s a weird looking car. I understand that the real thing has stellar performance, but I think most of the time when someone builds a supercar kit, it’s going to underperform the original most of the time (although it may well be more reliable)… But don’t pay any attention to me — my thing is weird VW original exotics, which I’d say the average Ferrari guy thinks are abominations! That’s the wonderful thing about kit cars — to each their own!
That said, since we’re speaking of Ferraris, let’s mention this F40 that was for sale at Carlisle 2006.
The engine is a V-6 on a four-speed tranny with a claimed 300 HP (intake and exhaust ported and matched, roller rockers, competition cam, new pistons, new rods, new rings, adjustable twin turbo, counterforce dual friction clutch, new distributor cap, wires, plugs, K&N air filter, and full balancing). The interior is custom as well with Dakota Digital gauges (either very slick or very gaudy depending on your personal ideals), Cobra Kevlar racing bucket seats with Williams covers, a back-up sensor, Momo steering wheel, polished aluminum dash and console, and a boost gauge.
It’s running Dunlop Qualifier P265/50R15 tires at the back, and P225/50R15s at the front, all mounted on 3-piece Ferrari rims. The lights are Ferrari as well, as is the paint, and the mirrors are custom. I don’t know if it sold at the show, but he told me, “first $30,000 $25,000 takes it” if I remember right (of course, that was Saturday morning, so who knows if the number is lower now, or if it sold). If it’s still for sale, you can get in touch with the owner at 240-441-6483 (cell) or 301-855-7598 (home). If it’s sold, someone let me know so I can update this entry!
Shannon – thank you very much for putting my F-40 on your web site. Please revise the price to $25,000. I left early Sunday A.M. and headed back to Dunkirk Maryland, so the car did not sell.
If you need to contack me ref. the F-40 please do at the

To:
Michael J. Wrenn, sorry that I have not checked this web site.
Yes the car is still for sale, you can contact me at the above phone numbers. The car will be at the Carlisle Show May 18 & 19 this year in space D-108 in front of the main consession stan. Hope to see you there.
i think it looks pretty good, but its not the best replica i ever saw! i think it should have a lower suspension and wider tires! but any way it looks pretty good!
Saw one in slightly less as good condition in stevensville, mt for $7800
sold by now though..
looks like crap!! looks soo fake, i would be too imbarassed to drive that car around!!
is the kit on a fiero and if so where did you get it?
The owner advised that the kit is on a Fiero, the kit came from Canada about 12 years ago. and Ross you are only imbarassed because you can not afford to buy it and do not have the ability to build one and it you did build one it would look like carp

Looks real cool, I don’t care that it’s replica! I would love to have such a cool-looking car sit in my driveway, Fiero or not. Looks fun to drive.

That looks like an F40 in the same way that a basketball looks like a giraffe.
Well, no not an exact replica but for a Fiero rebody which I normally dont warm up to this one isnt too bad, I feel the same about the original so I will only get so warm for this knock off but I have seen way worse
I think is a good kit car , just need more work , like to be lowered and install grill on the front bumper.. Good job
