Small question about the F40
 

Does it accelerate from 0 - 100 kph in 4.7 seconds or 3.8 seconds ? or even another time ? thx..

Ferrari states 3.8 (but I think that's the 0-60mph time, not sure). But that depends a lot on the car and especially the tyres.

All the F40's are different from eachothers...so you can't really say that 3.8 (or any other number) is the time.

The 4.7 time is for the 288GTO.

Road & Track tested it years ago and they published 3.8 seconds in the mag (0-60 mph) 8)

yes its more like 3.8 , just like the new F430

If I'm not mistaken the official (= Ferrari claimed ;)) 0-100 km/h time of the EU spec F40 was 3.9 seconds.

This might help :

As to the 0-100kph time Wutputt is right.

That seems reasonable then:

0-60mph: 3.8seconds
0-100kph (62mph): 3.9 seconds.

Exactly the same difference as claimed in terms of the Enzo : 3,55/3,65

ferrari F430 with 0-100 in 3.8s ? :lol:

What?

3.8s for 430 is an optmistical number.... 490 HP (sure 450 effective on wheels ), not turbo... great car, but I think it's can do not better of 4.1-4.2

Dude, the topic is about the F40. :wink:

Yes but if you read PATo355's reply...

And he is probably right. Two American magazines already recorded a 3.5s time from 0-60 mph (which I think is too optimistic), so a 3.8 to 100kmh should be possible.

Remember that Ferrari's claim is without Launch Control...

Anyway, we're talking about 2/3 tenths of a second, which is irrelevant IMO.

Yes maybe it's right.... EVO says 4secs...
