Is any great Ferrari collection complete without an F40? The no-holds-barred twin-turbocharged supercar truly defined an era of excess. And we wouldn’t hesitate to say that no other Ferrari has wound up on quite so many teenagers’ bedroom walls as the F40. The mid-1980s was an exciting period of technological change. And at the Ferrari factory in Maranello, the ingegneri – still working under the rule of Il Commendatore himself – were fully embracing it. Nowhere is this more evident than the F40.

Its bewinged razor-sharp Pininfarina-styled bodywork was largely crafted from newfangled carbon-fibre and Kevlar, their distinctive weaves partially visible through the thin scarlet paint. Its carbon-Kevlar monocoque, meanwhile, was bonded to the tubular steel chassis, resulting in an extremely strong and rigid structure.

In addition to its show-stopping overall aesthetic, the plentiful and intricate origami-like cutouts, vents and ducts played a whole host of roles, from increasing downforce to force-feeding cool air to the insatiable turbocharged V8 engine. And how can we gloss over that legendary powerplant? It’s a turbocharged tour de force, whose high-revving and torque-laden shove sears itself in the minds of anyone fortunate enough to experience it. Yes, the F40 was – and perhaps remains – the Godfather of all supercars.

The Ferrari F40 offered left the production line in Maranello on 25 September 1990. A ‘Cat Non-Adjust’ example, chassis number 86058 was notable in that it was fitted with motorsport-inspired Lexan sliding windows, internally codenamed ‘VS’, or ‘Vetri Scorrevoli’. These were an incredibly rare feature on F40s. Ferrari had fitted the first batch F40s built with Lexan windows, though it’s a lesser-known fact that they were subsequently offered to customers as an option.

Very few chose them. Of the circa-1,310 F40s produced, it’s commonly believed fewer than 100 ever had the Lexan windows from new. Since there was no need for a winding window mechanism, there was no need for the carbon-Kevlar door cards as found on most other cars. Weight saving was a key principle of the F40’s performance philosophy, after all.

Less than two weeks after its factory completion, chassis number 86058 was sold new to its first owner, a collector based in Munich, who purchased the car via Ferrari Deutschland. Said collector sold this F40 a mere month later to its second owner, also from Germany. He was somewhat more attached to the Ferrari, for he kept chassis number 86058 for over three decades. During that time, the F40 was regularly maintained by Official Ferrari Dealers in Germany and frequently exhibited including on the F40 International Owners Meeting at Mugello in 1992.

Satisfyingly, chassis number 86058 has only passed through a handful of owners since, of whom all were in Germany. One had the car certified by Ferrari Classiche and the latter enjoyed the car on the factory’s F40 Legacy Tour in Tuscany in September 2023. The mileage noted during the post-rally service at Ferrari Gohm was a mere 12,288 kilometres. And it will satisfy you to learn that the car has covered fewer than 50 kilometres since then (the odometer currently reads 12,309 kilometres).

So what of chassis number 86058’s condition? Well, the Ferrari Classiche certification binder which accompanies the car confirms that it retains its original chassis, engine and gearbox. We’ve further confirmed with Ferrari that it also retains its original body panels (number 77 throughout) and corresponding numbered latches and locks (number 263). And we’ve obtained copies of the original Ferrari factory build sheets, which confirm its ‘Vetri Scorrevoli’ designation and that the original numbered bucket seats remain in the car.

What’s more, this F40’s carbon-Kevlar weave is extraordinary – definitely among the best we’ve ever encountered – and visible across vast swathes of the car’s bodywork. We have had the car comprehensively detailed in-house, including application of Gtechniq’s Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating, which has not only enhanced the gloss of the paint and increased its hydrophobicity, but has also protected it for up to nine years. Despite the minimal mileage of this F40, its maintenance has always been diligent and undertaken predominantly in the hands of Official Ferrari Dealers and reputable Ferrari specialists. Most recently, in May of 2026, Bob Houghton Ltd. In the United Kingdom carried out a major service. Equally satisfying is that chassis number 86058 is accompanied by its spare keys, tool kit, tyre inflator set, spare-parts catalogue, seat covers and German Ferrari press pack.
