"Monaco Fireball" Ferrari F40 Lands in Service for Proper Attention

When videos showcasing the iconic Prancing Horse being engulfed by flames hit the web, the shock was instant. Then there were the details: as if the incident wasn't unfortunate enough, this took place on February 18, Enzo Ferrari's birthday. And, as any Tifosi will tell you, the 1987-released F40 was the last car approved by il Commendatore himself.

Fast-forwarding to this week, a series of photos showcasing the burned down Maranello machine inside a service facility have surfaced online.

The images, which showed up on Monday, June 8, were posted on the Ferrari Owners Club NL Facebook Page, with "Luimex" listed in the credits section - a FB search suggests the Luimex International GmbH page, which is an exotic car dealership on Germany, but there's no mention of the topic on that page, so perhaps this isn't the proper route.

The background of the images show the F40 is inside the Monaco Motors service, with this being surrounded by other Ferraris, including another F40.

Now, as showcased in these images, as well as in the photos captured once the fire was extinguished, the damage is extensive, with this involving the engine compartment and the passenger cell (fortunately, as reported last year, there were no injuries). In fact, the flames even affected a bit of the area sitting ahead of the A-pillars.

Then again, given the rarity of the model (only 1,315 were brought to the world), here's to hoping this F40 will return to the road.
