Authenticity: Kleury.art digital stamp present on the work at bottom left; digitally numbered certificate of authenticity, signed and matched to the EMA edition provided on request.

THE WORK
“Ferrari F40 – Technical Study” is a rigorous, essential visual manifesto with absolute iconic force, dedicated to the supercar born in 1987 to celebrate Ferrari’s forty years: the last car personally desired and approved by Enzo Ferrari. Designed by Pininfarina and built with aeronautical-derived composite materials, the F40 was the first production car to exceed 320 km/h, becoming a myth that transcends generations.

The piece adopts a horizontal format and a layout true to an archival technical plate, framed by a thin border. In the top left dominate the historic prancing horse shield and the title “Ferrari F40 – V8 Biturbo / Berlinetta,” followed by the subtitle “1987 — Technical Study.” On the right side, the “F40” insignia drawn in outline, in the square typeface echoing the car’s famous logo, appears as a watermark on the ivory background.

The core of the composition consists of four projections of the car in a vivid Rosso Corsa, numbered and accompanied by millimetric dimension lines:

01 / Side View, with length (4358 mm), wheelbase (2450 mm), and height (1124 mm), rendering the low, aggressive profile, with a sharp nose, side intake ducts, rear vents, five-spoke wheels, and the legendary integrated spoiler.

02 / Front View, highlighting the nose with recessed headlights, NACA ducts on the hood, and the slim lower mouth, with the spoiler rising in the background.

03 / Rear View, with the four round lights on a mesh grille, the louvered engine cover, the full-width spoiler, and the three central exhausts.

04 / Top View, with the width dimension (1970 mm), revealing the NACA ducts on the hood, the essential cockpit, and the engine compartment with the V8 biturbo visible under the slatted cover.

The lower section, divided into four columns, hosts the complete technical data sheet in Italian:

Engine: 90° V8 in a longitudinal central position, liquid-cooled, 2936 cm³, bore and stroke 82.0 × 69.5 mm, twin IHI turbochargers with two intercoolers.

Power and Transmission: 351.5 kW (478 CV) at 7000 rpm, maximum torque 577 Nm at 4000 rpm, 5-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive.

Dimensions and Model: length 4358 mm, width 1970 mm, height 1124 mm, wheelbase 2450 mm, 2-seat berlinetta body, year of introduction 1987.

Technique and Performance: top speed 324 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, dual-overhead camshaft per bank with 4 valves per cylinder, dry-sump lubrication, and four-wheel disc brakes.

A red graphic stamp, “Private Project – Independent Graphic Studio,” emphasizes the work’s nature as an independent artistic study.

WORDS OF THE ARTIST
“With this plate I wanted to return to the F40 with a completely different perspective. While in the poster dedicated to this car I sought the emotional impact of realistic rendering, here I chose the opposite path: stripping it of every effect and showing it for what it is—a pure sum of lines and functions. The F40 is perfect for this language, because every element has a purpose: the NACA ducts, the vents, the louvers on the engine hood, the spoiler. Nothing is decorative; everything serves to go faster. The top view and the rear view are the ones I love most, because they reveal the heart of the car, that V8 biturbo glimpsed under the vented hood. For the watermark I chose to echo the squared character of the original logo, like a quiet signature on the background. The biggest challenge was preserving the aggression of its angular shapes in a clean, orderly graphic style. I selected EMA Fine Art paper because its completely matte finish yields a full, velvety red, without reflections, and makes the reading of the dimensions as sharp as on an archival document. I hope this plate brings the hiss of the turbos, the cult of mechanical purity, and the timeless fascination of the Prancing Horse into spaces.”
