Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 reaches 60 mph in 3.69 s (100 km/h in 3.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.85 s, tripping the lights at 124.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 7.83 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.24 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the F40

The 1987 Ferrari F40 is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,270 kg with 472 bhp, which works out at 372 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 372 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 796th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 55th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 124.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 11 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Ferrari F40 0-60 time?
The Ferrari F40 reaches 60 mph in 3.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 796th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari F40 quarter mile time?
11.85 s at 124.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari F40 have?
472 bhp and 1,270 kg, which is 372 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 327 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari F40?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT (3.69 s), Lamborghini Diablo GT (3.87 s), Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder (3.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari F40 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ferrari F40 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 11 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
