1:24 Ferrari F40 - 24295

1:24 scale model kit of the Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupé sports car built from 1987 to 1992. The successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO, it was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car that Ferrari sold to the public.

The car debuted with a factory suggested retail price of approximately US$400,000 in 1987, although some buyers were reported to have paid as much as US$1.6 million. 1,311 F40s were manufactured in total.

Tamiya's previously released model kit accurately reproduces all of these features and now comes in a stylish redesigned package. Modellers can display the detailed engine compartment even after assembly by opening the engine cowling and synthetic rubber tires feature the exact tread pattern found on the Pirelli P-Zero tires of the actual for additional realism.
