F40 GTE :love: HUGE thanx for pics Sameerrao :wink:

:shock: I am always shocked when somebody see an LM/GTE :D respect dude and thanks for the pics!

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
That is seriously one of the sexiest cars ever built :D

Thanks a lot for the pics!

Thanks for the pics mate, very nice :D

Thanks for the pics! I would gladly take an F40 over many more current supercars anyday, especially this one. Nice pics.

F 40 LM GTE :love:

sameerrao is that equiped with the sequential X-trac gearbox ??

beauty GTE... :)

:love: :drool: F40 LM :drool: :love:
thanks for pics sameerrao.

Isnt that a Enzo engine?

Awesome pictures. Obviously the f40 GTE is my favourite :lol: but also the 512M and the 275GTB are stunning too. Thanks for pics 8)

No

The 275 and black 512BBi belongs to Mr. Risi - the owner of Ferrari of Houston and Ferrari of Dallas. Mr. Risi also sponsors sportscar racing which is why there is a F333Sp bodyshell and a current MC12 racing engine on display as well...

Does the MC12 use the Enzo engine then? As its got 2 Ferrari badges on it.

To me it looks like a Enzo engine with some racing parts on it :?

:oops: Sorry about that - I thought you were refering to the F40 as most of the conversation prior to this was about the F40. The MC12 engine and the Enzo have similar engines with the roadgoing mc12 having lesser power than the Enzo. I am not sure what the racing MC12's power is.

Does Risi still have one of there 333sp's there?

That GTE is really something very special! Thks for the pics!

No ... just the bodyshell mounted on the wall.

:drool: to see a F 40 LM GTE !

Thanks a lot for the pictures, some are very nice, others less because of the difficult bright light :bah:
the black Ferrari 512BBi is nice :)

Thanks for the pics, they rock, as the cars!!! :D

Wow great shots, such a rare car :shock:

That thing is sooo low too. Couldn't even slide a piece of paper under that

One just can get enough pics of a F40 GTE. Thanks for sharing!

Don't care what anybody says.. The F40 is the most beautiful ferrari ever .

By the way what is the difference between this one and the LM and the normal F40??ofcource apart from the obvious headlights and rims and I suspect bigger brakes..

The LM, GT and GTE are race versions of the F40.


The LM has the following mods:

• reinforced chassis and revised suspension
• better brakes
• a racing version of the F40 engine with 720 or 760 hp (higher turbo boost, bigger intercoolers, higher compression ratio, etc...)
• revised gearbox with racing clutch
• cf front chin spoiler and new rear wing
• normal headlights (not the pop-up versions)
• 19 have been built

The GT was developed for endurance GT racing, and was the closest to the standard F40. Mods included:

• suspension and brake mods of the LM
• tuned standard F40 engine with 560 hp, due to an increased turbo boost and modified exhaust system
• a few lighter body panels were used
• 7 of them have been built

And finally the GTE. It had been produced for the GT Championship and have the same mods as the LM, but on top of that they have:

• another rear wing
• the selection of 3 different racing engines: 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6 ranging from 600 to 800 hp.
• 6-speed sequential racing gearbox
• later models also had carbon brakes and a carbon clutch
• 6 have been built

And to make it even more confusing, there were also a few unofficial racing version of the F40.

^^^ didn't know that, I thought GTE, GT and LM were the same car :oops:
I did these shot last year can someone indentify the model ?

^^
That's a LM, cause it has a manual 5-speed gearbox, regular headlamps and racy rear wing.

F40, F40LM, F40GT, F40GTE someone, quick get me a napkin to clean up all my drool.
