Ferrari F40 — 1987
Created to mark Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 became the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. Its lightweight construction, aggressive fixed rear wing, exposed mechanical character, and twin-turbocharged V8 made it one of the defining supercars of the 1980s.
Powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 producing approximately 478 hp, the F40 combined a five-speed manual transmission with a lightweight body constructed using advanced composite materials. With its purposeful design and uncompromising driving experience, it remains one of the most admired and collectible Ferraris ever built.
Ferrari F50 — 1995
The Ferrari F50 followed as a very different but equally significant flagship. Developed with direct influence from Ferrari’s Formula 1 engineering, it featured a naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V12 derived from a racing engine concept, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Its carbon-fibre chassis, removable targa-style roof, dramatic aerodynamic bodywork, and naturally aspirated V12 character made the F50 a unique celebration of Ferrari’s road and racing heritage. Produced in very limited numbers, it has become one of the most sought-after Ferrari supercars of the 1990s.
Collector’s Appeal
The F40 and F50 are often regarded as two of Ferrari’s greatest halo cars: one representing the uncompromising analogue turbo era, the other bringing Formula 1-inspired V12 engineering to the road. This coordinated poster set is an ideal collectible for Ferrari enthusiasts, supercar collectors, and admirers of 1980s and 1990s automotive design.
