Ferrari F40 1987 Promo Video.

In 1987, the Japanese Magazine "Car Graphic" was asked to make a promo video for Ferrari's new top of the line F40 model. This model was to be the last made under the direct supervision of Mr. Enzo Ferrari himself. It featured a 3 Liter 478HP Mid Mounted Twin Turbo V8, a Carbon/Kevlar/Aluminum Body, and a 201MPH Top Speed, making it the first production car to break the 200MPH barrier. Although the original plan was to make 499 F40's, potential buyer interest due to the mystique of being Enzo's "last" earmarked the car to over 1300 build units, making it one of the most profitable cars in Ferrari's history. This video was made on the outskirts/within the gates of Maranello itself - the home of Ferrari. -Steve Neill
