Ferrari F40's meet in Monterey in 2010: includes video

In 2010, the Ferrari F40 Reunion Group announced its intention to participate in the Concorso Italiano, in order to celebrate 20 years of the famed 3-liter stallion from Maranello.



Ferrari’s F40 was built to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ferrari and was described as a real racing car that can be driven on the road. Designed by Pinnfarina, the F40 has an enormous Plexiglas engine cover that can be lifted and exposes the 3-liter, twin turbocharged, V8 engine that produces 478 hp at 7,000 rpm while reaching speeds of 200 mph or more.

According to F40 owner and spokesman for the Reunion Group, Jas Dhillon, “our goal is to have well over forty F40’s on the fairways at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch this August 13th and we hope that fans and enthusiasts will plan to join us for this historic occasion.”

The sales success of the F40 allowed Ferrari to build 1,315 (depending on who you ask) models from 1987 to 1992, and due to the high production run of the cars their prices have not yet reached the stratosphere like other Ferrari’s. The Concorso Italiano is scheduled for August 13th 2010 and is part of the Monterey historic car week.
