1990 Ferrari F40

1990 Ferrari F40

478 horsepower at about 2400 pounds. With a 3-liter, 8-cylinder engine with twin turbos, this car goes 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top-end speed of 208 mph. Ferrari made 1315 F40’s and 202 for the U.S. market. These cars have become highly-collectible.

A Ferrari dealer in Monterey, California made a deal to have the second F40 ever exported to the U.S. shipped to him in Monterey so that it could be auctioned the day before the Pebble Beach Concours D’ Elegance. The bidding ended with Jerry J. Moore of Houston, then the No.1 car collector in the world with 832 cars. Mr. Moore traded six new Ferrari Testarossas and paid $500,000 for this car on August 18, 1990. Known as the “Pebble Beach F40” due to the circumstances surrounding its purchase.
