Ferrari F40 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1987–1992) — First Generation
The Ferrari F40 arrived as a stripped-back, competition-minded supercar built around a twin-turbocharged V8 and a lightweight composite Coupe body, offering an unusually raw driving experience even by the standards of its era.
The Ferrari F40 engine in the 2.9 MT is a gasoline unit paired with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, so the driver controls every shift. This powertrain layout keeps the drivetrain simple and light, with turbocharged delivery that builds sharply once boost arrives.
