THE WORK
“Ferrari F40” is a raw, direct visual manifesto with absolute iconic power, dedicated to the supercar born in 1987 to celebrate the Ferrari brand’s forty-year anniversary: the last car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. The composition develops on an ivory background, crossed by a diagonal burgundy band that rises toward the upper right corner like a trail, and by a fine millimeter-scale grid of technical drawing. At the top dominates the monumental title “Ferrari F40,” in exceptionally bold type, accompanied by the historic Cavallino Rampante shield and the subtitle “Twin-Turbo V8 / Berlinetta / 1987,” followed by the claim “Raw intent. Unfiltered performance.”, a perfect synthesis of an essential, unfiltered car.

In the center, the F40 is depicted in a spectacular three-quarter front view from above, in a bright Rosso Corsa, with a delicate reflection on the supporting plane. Every detail is legible: the low, sharp front with cambered headlights, NACA ducts on the hood, the cockpit with visible red seats, the side air intakes, the transparent louvered hood, the rear vents, the five-spoke silver wheels, and the legendary integrated rear wing. A caption summarizes its technical essence: Twin-Turbocharged V8, Five-Speed Manual, Rear-Wheel Drive.

The lower section, in impeccable archival-sheet layout divided into Engine & Drivetrain and Dimensions & Model, hosts the Technical Specifications in English for the European 1987 road-going version:

- The mid-mounted 90° V8, liquid-cooled, 2936 cm³ displacement, turbocharged by two turbos, delivering 351.5 kW (478 HP) at 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 577 Nm at 4000 rpm.
- Five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
- The two-seater coupe body dimensions: length 4358 mm, width 1970 mm, height 1124 mm, wheelbase 2450 mm.
- Completing the page are two orthogonal projections drawn with a fine line, the Side Elevation with overall dimensions and the Front Elevation, which convey the taut, angular geometry of Pininfarina’s signature lines. A red graphic stamp, “Private Design – Independent Graphic Study,” emphasizes the work’s nature as an independent artistic study.

ARTIST’S WORDS
“With “Ferrari F40” I wanted to confront what many consider the ultimate Ferrari: a race car with license plate, no power steering, no ABS, no compromises. It’s Enzo Ferrari’s last testament, and I felt compelled to treat it with the utmost respect and simplicity. That’s why I chose to give the title an unprecedented graphic weight in the series: “F40” had to be read as a brand, almost a typographic monument. I then wanted an overhead view to show the car’s architecture, from the lamellar hood to the wing, which remains one of the most recognizable symbols in automotive history. The burgundy band, thinner than in the other plates, starts at the rear and rises like a trail, suggesting speed even when the car is stationary. I selected EMA Fine Art paper because its completely matte finish yields a full, velvety red without reflections and makes the reading of the specifications as sharp as on an archival document. I hope this plate brings the hiss of the turbos and the untamable character of a legend into spaces, the worship of mechanical purity, and the timeless charm of the Cavallino Rampante.”
