In a video by Supercar Driver, an owner recounts his 22-year journey with a heavily modified Ferrari F40, describing a long-term relationship with one of Ferrari’s most iconic supercars. Rather than keeping it as a collectible, he has driven and tracked the car extensively in all conditions, building countless memories along the way.
Over time, the F40 has been upgraded with chassis stiffening, suspension changes, and race-inspired components sourced from specialist builders. Visual tweaks include custom livery and aero parts, while mechanical upgrades—such as improved turbos, exhaust modifications, and a boost controller—raise output to roughly 550 horsepower. Many modifications are reversible, preserving the car’s originality.
The owner shares stories of road trips, track days, and high-speed drives, emphasizing the F40’s raw, demanding character. With no modern driver aids, it requires skill and respect but delivers an unmatched sense of excitement. After more than two decades, the car still provides an adrenaline-filled experience, making ownership as thrilling today as when he first bought it.
