Sweden
The first one there belongs to a Swede called Jon Olsson, bigtime skier. That pic was taken in Åre (MTB worlds '99 if anyone remembers).

It's the second one he has owned, they fitted the ski box for him from the factory if I recall correctly.

I stand corrected. :)

I don't know if I want to be pumped about that car or kind of "meh" b.c. of the roof rack. ;)
he drove that black Murcielago at the Gumball 3000 a few months ago, so i dont know if he still owns it or now.
as long as he didnt do that to a Ferrari, im fine with it :D


edit: the car from the Gumball was his 670-4 SV

This has one piece side windows. This is NOT a real F40, sorry.


It is a good looking Fiero, though.

<edit> I could be wrong, but I have never seen an F40 with functional side glass and you wouldn't want to install something solid that you can't open.

all F40's did have functioning side windows whether it was a full window or sliding window.
there werent glass but were lexan plastic.
Body and interior
The body was an entirely new design by Pininfarina featuring panels made of kevlar, carbon fiber, and aluminum for strength and low weight, and intense aerodynamic testing was employed (see below). Weight was further minimized through the use of a plastic windshield and windows and no carpets, sound system, or door handles were installed although the cars did have air conditioning. The first 50 cars produced had sliding Lexan windows, although newer windows that could be rolled down were installed into later car

the LM was their race version that had slide windows to reduce weight (obviously) but it still worked and normal windows were installed on some and vice versa.

normal F40:



if that isnt a real one (only 17 were built,) then its a "replica" that Ferrari provided parts for to their customers. unless you can see the engine bay, then no, there isnt a way to 100% identify the car.
the car is a different that the Euro cars because of the need for "bumpers" and side lights

I didn't follow the F40 much after the initial release and I recalled Road and Track talking about the lack of window hardware due to weight and space limitations in the doors.

Until now I had never seen pictures of one with a roll-able window.
