Why are F40s so expensive?
Early speculation drove prices to astronomical levels. For example, Nigel Mansell, famous Formula One driver, sold his F40 for £1 million in 1990 (almost $2 million back then. By the early 2000s, decent examples could be found for well under $1 million, making the F40 accessible to serious enthusiasts. Recent sales for the Ferrari F40 in 2020 and 2019 hovered around $700,000 to $900,000. Lately, the price of a Ferrari F40 has started rising again well over the $1 million mark.Whilst the F40 never depreciated, for around 15 years, it held steady when adjusted for inflation, but once it set off, it snowballed into one of the most sought after, most valuable supercars in history, especially for the numbers produced.
How many F40s remain?
Production of the Ferrari F40 started in 1997 and 1,311 F40s were built in total, of which 213 cars were delivered to the US market. Many have crashed over the years, but there are still well over 1,000 cars in existence.

However, despite his shift away from car collecting, he still harbors a deep admiration for one iconic Italian supercar: the Ferrari F40.
