Powertrain Analysis
The powertrain centers on Ferrari’s 2.9-liter V8 with twin turbochargers, revised by Michelotto for higher output and stronger midrange torque. Output reaches 527 hp at 7,000 rpm, with peak torque of 626 lb-ft (849 Nm), a 200 lb-ft (271 Nm) increase over a standard F40.
The modifications include new turbochargers and a lightweight exhaust. The upgraded turbo system was later removed and then refitted, while the car retains its original parts. The engine specification remains road legal despite the higher output and lower mass.
The standard transmission type, gear count, and final-drive data are not provided in the source content, so only confirmed powertrain figures are listed here. The technical emphasis is on forced-induction revision and exhaust mass reduction rather than a drivetrain conversion.
Chassis & Dynamics
Michelotto reduced mass through a lighter front and rear clamshell set, deleted the heavy air-conditioning system, and fitted carbon-fiber seats similar to the F40 LM. The result is a curb-weight reduction of 300 lb (136 kg) versus a typical F40.
The chassis package adds 17-inch OZ Racing wheels, Koni adjustable shocks, and a bespoke front splitter. These changes target unsprung mass control, damper adjustability, and front-end aerodynamic load without altering the car’s road-legal status.
The builder responsible for the F40 LM carried out the work, linking the road car to the Le Mans development program. Competition use included races in the BPR Global Endurance GT Championship, confirming that the hardware was used beyond street mileage.
No brake rotor diameters, caliper specifications, chassis material figures, weight distribution data, or aerodynamic coefficient values are provided in the source content.
Dimensions & Practicality
The car shows 22,699 km, equal to 14,105 miles, on the odometer. That mileage places the example in lightly used collector-car territory for a modified F40 with documented competition history.
It remains street legal after the Michelotto revisions. Seating layout, cargo volume, interior dimensions, towing capacity, and fuel-capacity data are not provided in the source content.
