Mike, the F40 was never built to be a race car, just the closest thing to a race car. They detuned the motor from approx. 700hp to 450hp (approx., let me stress approx.) and we’re surprised at the F40’s track prowess. I’ve heard the stories about the F40 beating Meclaren F1’s on the track however, I’d like to see the new 599 runs Nurburgring and compare it to an F40.

I’ve spent a few minute searching for F40 lap times however, it seems none are available…
