So it’s upgraded, and therefore better.Mark_bt52 wrote: Sun Nov 04, 2018 6:36 pm And to add some context the F40 remains merely an upgraded GTO with ruined styling that was even seen by the journalists of the time as little more than a cynical marketing excersise cashing in on the emerging hypercar market of the day.
Ruined styling? Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but calling it ruined is utterly ridiculous.

I've been reading car magazines for years before the F40 was released and for many years after, and that is the first I've ever seen of it ever being referred to as that. Can you provide source?Mark_bt52 wrote: Sun Nov 04, 2018 6:36 pmthat was even seen by the journalists of the time as little more than a cynical marketing excersise cashing in on the emerging hypercar market of the day.

I really don't car what it's like to drive, I just know that it's the one car I want more than any other
