'Rare' Ferrari F40 set to go up for auction

Sports car fans might like to note that a rare Ferrari F40 is set to go under the hammer tomorrow (September 25th) with a valuation of between £280,000 and £320,000.

The motor - a former holder of the world's fastest production vehicle title and the last model commissioned by Enzo Ferrari - will be sold at the Historics at Brooklands auction in Surrey after it made a last-minute entry into the 70+ category.

With a drag co-efficient of 0.34 and weighing 2,400 lbs, it is a "testament to Ferrari's supreme styling and finesse 23 years ago", according to the auctioneers.

And they added that the vehicle was "the most powerful, most expensive and fastest car the company had ever produced" with 471bhp on its turbo-charged tap.

In addition, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport currently holds the title as the world's fastest production car, which it was named in July earlier this year.
