Broad Arrow Auctions will present one of the most sought-after Ferraris ever built at its inaugural Zoute Concours Auction in Belgium on Oct. 10: a 1990 Ferrari F40 “non-cat, non-adjust” model expected to reach as much as $3.75 million.
The F40, created to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, is remembered not only as the last road car overseen by founder Enzo Ferrari, but also as the definitive 1980s supercar. With its Pininfarina-designed composite bodywork, aggressive NACA ducts and towering rear wing, the F40 became an icon for enthusiasts and poster collectors alike.
At its heart sits a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 producing 471 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the lightweight 2,425-pound machine could sprint from zero to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds and reach 201 mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of its era.
While Ferrari offered adjustable suspension and catalytic converters later in production, collectors now consider the earliest “non-cat, non-adjust” cars to be the purest form. Only 1,311 F40s were produced in total, but far fewer meet this preferred specification.
The example set for auction, chassis No. 84250, was originally sold new in Germany to Dr. Klaus Berg. It has logged just over 10,000 kilometers and retains matching numbers and original paintwork, showcasing the carbon weave beneath. Certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2011, the car has never required restoration and has been carefully maintained in optimal storage conditions.
Broad Arrow expects strong interest, noting the F40’s museum-quality originality combined with its readiness for the road. The auction will feature over 75 high-value vehicles, but the F40 stands out as a centerpiece for serious collectors.
This Ferrari remains a timeless symbol of performance, excess and automotive history.
