I like the concept! And they haven't butchered an original F40 to create it so it's a thumbs up from me.

Wheel offsets aren't right though - sitting too far inboard for those arches.

Hmmm my brain is rejecting F40+V12. All those 80s ducts and scoops now culturally represent TURBO.

Clearly the only solution is F40+V12TT.

This is my decree.

If someone had butchered an f40 to do it I would be sad. But as they’ve brought some bits back to life as a bad ass v12 F40 I’m happy.

Yes, needs rear spacers.

Also looks to be plenty of room under the engine cover for a couple of turbos

I’m not sure why, but that body-coloured vertical spar on the rear end is really grating with me. I’ve managed to forgive it for lacking a 3rd exhaust, as that was never an exhaust on the F40…..

Would look better without the numberplate stuck there. Assume it was necessary on racecars as their engine cover was probably thinner to save weight an more prone to sagging. I’m sure they could have put it on the inside of the mesh and painted it black though!

Btw, all three pipes on the f40 were functional with exhaust gasses coming out of them…

I thought the centre pipe was a wastegate exit non? I would go and check my F40, but - it’s at the specialist. :geek:

I think on the std f40 engine cover the wing is structural, as it’s one piece moulded. This has had that wing cut off and a high downforce item out on, so it’ll be to hold it together without the standard wing structure but also to handle high speed, high load downforce pressure

Something about the bodykit looks odd. If I saw that I'd assume it's a replica.
How about not having a sig at all?

No, no, didn't you hear, apparently he borrowed Laverne Spicers device months ago and was still logged in and she posted it accidentally.

Because that's a thing that real people do all the time.

Republicans being lying racists though, that never happens :lol:

It is.

Although on a standard f40 all three pipes go into a single single silencer, then three pipes out. Most sports exhaust have three completely separate pipes.

A wastegate lets exhaust gas bypass the turbos to control boost. So there won’t be exhaust coming out of all of the time.
