There is no doubt Enzo Ferrari will remain one of the biggest names in the auto industry for many years to come. The outspoken Italian managed to create and keep afloat an iconic company with only his passion and vision to guide him at times. And now, that company is worth more than the three American car giants.
Ferrari made a habit over the years in personally giving his thumbs up for whatever project his engineers came up with, and it is perhaps this approach that made the cars wearing the Prancing Horse badge so incredible over the years.
The last Ferrari model to get Enzo’s approval is the F40. Made starting 1987, it was supposed to be the successor of the 288 GTO, a birthday gift for the carmaker’s 40th anniversary, and at the same time the best Ferrari ever made to that date.
Of course, the car was a hit and, because of the rather small numbers it was made in (a little over 1,300 were produced), it remains a highly coveted machine, selling for big bucks at auctions across the world.
The real life F40s do this because they are seldom customized in any way, and retain much of their original value. But not the same can be said by the ones sitting in the gallery above.
The F40s here are just renderings (there are three different body kits in the gallery), cooked up by an artist that goes by the name Zoki Nanco (with the help of dangeruss), the man behind several other insane projects, like the widebody kit for the McLaren 720S. And while we personally have nothing against his work, we’re curious what Enzo would have said about the changes made.
Probably, he would have hated them, not because they may not fit the F40 very well, but because Ferrari (as a company) always had something against people modifying their cars.
