Default F40LM

Among all these new exotics and super/hyper cars, the F40LM is my personal favorite over and over again. can it hit 260+mph? no probably not. Does it have space age technology that can do all kinds of tricks? no. I don't want to call a car of this caliber "simple" but i must say there is no BS with this. Just pure balls to the wall, unfiltered epicness.

i wanted to see, what you guys had to say about this legendary machine.

here are some pics.

and here is a pretty gnarly video of inside the cabin.

Personally, I'm partial to the F50 GT1. Because of this video:
(It makes its appearance at 0:40.)

There is definitely something that "pops" for me, Chris. I'm not even a big fan of cars from that era to be honest. I think I had one of these as a toy car..lol

Man, the F40 is a car that can be released right now in today's futuristic car market and I'd still drool over it. It's simply one of the most rawest supercars ever released. I wouldn't know through personal experience, but the car is just epic.

Chris - the only 'space age technology' the F40 is missing is computer control. Think about it. The F40 has all the key factors which make a modern supercar super. Full carbon fiber body, 200mph top speed, amazing aerodynamics.

^^^ I bet what keeps supercar buyers away from it, though, is the lack of an automatic gearbox.
A true sports car should only be offered with a manual. I won't deny the functionality of the F1 transmissions, but I think it is killing the stick shift, which is actually a shame.
