Enzo Ferrari’s Last Personally Approved Ferrari 1:18 Scale Replica Review
The Ferrari F40 was a game changer in the Supercar world. This precision cast resin 1:18 scale Ferrari F40 replica may be the most masterful scale model replica of the world’s first Hypercar!
Crafted with unmatched attention to details – GT Spirit has captured every line, duct, intake and extraction point to absolute perfection in this 1:18 scale model Ferrari F40 replica. The sealed resin casting is authentic enough to make Enzo himself proud!
You can see the light weight race inspired, red bucket seats and full instrumentation through the windows. The clear engine cover provides a great view of the twin turbocharged 2.9L V-8 that pumped out a heart stopping 471 hp and pushed the F40 to a top speed of 201 mph as reported in 1987 by Ferrari!
Ferrari had never produced a road car that looked or performed like the F40 which used Kevlar, carbon fiber and aluminum to minimize weight. The F40’s bodywork was designed to achieve maximum engine cooling while providing enough balanced downforce to prevent the car from becoming airborne! Notice the smoothly sculpted front fascia on GT Spirit’s 1:18 scale replica. Check out the heat extractor vents behind the front and rear wheels. The sides have three massive air intakes to provide air to the engine and help keep it cool. The tall rear wing provides stability and downforce. This masterful 1:18 scale model Ferrari F40 replica truly captures the raw power of Enzo Ferrari’s crowning achievement!
