- Enzo Ferrari long had a dream, and it was to build the greatest race cars of all time. Ferrari succeeded at this on many race circuits, and wanted to do it for Group B as well. They never got the chance. The F40 had its roots in racing, but was built to be driven on the streets of the real world. It’s the ultimate street legal race car, and has carried the mantle of what’s possible when great car companies like Ferrari distill their successful designs into one ultimate driving machine.
Up to Speed is a weekly automotive history show about the best cars, brands, designers, drivers and influencers ever. Host James Pumphrey covers everything from the Toyota Supra to the Chevy El Camino, The VW GTI to the Subaru WRX. The origins of every car will be uncovered to get you Up to Speed..
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

CORRECTION: The F40's engine really made 471 HP, not 278. Sorry we messed that up!
Donut Media c'mon y'all. Proofread your scripts homie. Lol 278 hp...
Donut Media You messed up big time Bruh.
Nahh it was Nolan's fault
Donut Media I got confused lmao
I love the "Bart" tattoo, is it for a competition? Do I win an F40 now ? :D
“A big go-kart with a plastic body around it” actually sounds amazing
Gokarts are amazing what was he talking about
@@HUNKragor i think he meant the car was brutal (old turbos) and a bit oversteery. you want a racecar linear and predictable. To be fair without the f40 we would never had the F1
well there us NASCAR
Probably Mclaren didn't want to disrespect Enzo Ferrari's Death
Well... it sounds like:
"Its just the ultimate go-kart... BUT BIG AND STREET-LEGAL."
“The poster was almost certainly on your wall as a kid” ...... it still is
Not to mention diecasts...... i still have
Are bare working hard for it or just not working hard for it 😂😂 still got my supra poster and diecast still get a supra aha
i have one in my room rn
I have it in a game
The F40. elegant, fast, brutal. truly Enzo's last gift to the world.
Oh, and it has POP-UP HEADLIGHTS :D
There is NOTHING elegant about this car and that's what I love about it. It went against everything Ferrari had become known for at the time and now.
zat makes it 10% faster.
Enzo had no input on this car, he just gave hes blessing.
In fact Enzo had no say in Ferrari road cars since 1969.
Pop up and down head lights!!!!!!!!!!

Enzo would be proud and smug as hell knowing what a lasting impression his final project left us with.
it wasn't hes project... it was a Fiat project.
I get the feeling Enzo was almost perpetually smug. That isn't a diss by the way.
When my friend yelled "Ferrari f40!" when I was a child, it would make me run faster. It was the 80's, and I was a dork.
The End
Nothing wrong with that

ferraris can smell pizza, and when they do, they get an extra 100hp
That’s because the engine of every ferrari is actually secretly a pizza oven, and uses pizza as fuel. If you own a ferrari, get rid of it before it starts to crave human flesh.
Lol
When T 34 smell vodka, It gains 10,000 hp BLYAT
How much hp for a sniff of pasta?
@@jamelpiclit3062 about 75 hp
Now you guys gotta do the Porsche 959.
Just make sure you guys get the engine figures right.😂
Yes, after this video, I'm dying to see the Porsche 959 in-detail! :)
This is the up to speed I didn’t know I needed. Thanks Pumps @donut
great series, great host

Please make a video for the f50
It's 478 hp, not 278
I was thinking that sounded absolutely pitiful for what it weighs, and that the quarter mile time didn't seem to match up with the quoted power.
Beat me to it
I thought it was a Gentleman's Agreement 😂😂😂
Thank you!!
haha i was really confused, thank you
Actually choked "like wtf 278hp?"
Pholiage must have been a typo, they had well over 400 hp at the wheels, close to 500
actually 471 bhp
I cried when he said 278😂
The F40 is such an incredible car, I'd love to own one sometime during my lifetime.
it was a real beast. true power was said to be over 500 instead of the 478
F40 *o* it has always been my favorite car of all time. Had it in hotwheels used it in cruisin' USA and in every racing game I ever could. Glad you made a video for it. Thanks.
RAMCHARGERS!!!!
What’s a RamCharger?

This was the first european car that actually GAINED power in US. SPec. Government says 478hp @ 7,000 , 425 lb-ft...but magazines got high 11s< 12.1@122 mph and said it actually made about 500hp.
@n0hav0cyet Never heard that they switched the fuel tanks...have to look into that. I think Road & track issue when the F40 came out said the Added power was due to a different air/fuel mapping to meet emissions.
@AYE OK SURE HEY DUMB FUCK. 93 Octane.... a calculation of RON+MON/2 is how the US rates fuel. Learn some shit before you talk shit. Sunoco 93 Pump gas is 98 RON/88 MON.
www.flatout.com.br/what-are-the-differences-between-euro-spec-and-us-spec-ferrari-f40/
www.supercars.net/blog/1990-ferrari-f40-us-spec/ - "In meeting the strict emissions regulations, the F40 was equipped with metal catalytic converters which necessitated new cam timing and Weber-Marelli electronic management. To deal with the heat of the catalytic converters, exhuast cooling injection was fitted as well as large heat screens that protected the large lexan engine cover.
In total all the new systems in the F40 added around 115 kgs (250 lbs) of weight to the car. To make up for the increased bulk, Ferrari modified the engine to produce 515 bhp."
Road & track dyno'd BOTH and the USA made MUCH more. I guess your "JANITOR" Uncle wasn't the guy working on the fuel/mapping.... SO unless you have a like to proof, GTFOH. OR Shut ye geggie,....Numpty/Roaster/Dobber or whatever Slag you are use to...as you must hear it ALOT.
@AYE OK SURE.....biggest lie of the century????????? ok.... its only 22 HP bud...... ALOT of American V8s had been underrated by much more than 22 HP at this point.....maybe ferarris biggest lie...
@@JerseyMikeP You're correct. I know for a fact that every Ferrari F40 brought to the USA was dyno-tuned to put out at least 520hp at the wheels after they arrived at dealerships. And the video is incorrect about the weight of a standard F40. It's 2750 lbs wet, not 3000 lbs. 0-60 time of 3.6 sec, with the quarter mile reached in 11.6 sec @ 126 mph. With modern tires, much faster than that. In fact, I must say, this video was wrong in many ways. Also, it was the first production car to break 200 mph with a top speed of 201 mph.
We need the Subaru brat and the Audi Quattro and the lancia stratos
AUDI QUATTRO YES!
and the motherfucking Toyota Celica
Zombie Jesus ! Doesn’t mean it’s not a cool car that people need to know more about and I’m building one so I’m curious on how it came to be
no we dont
Subaru is love... 😍

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?!
The F40 was rated at from factory at 478hp with more recent testing finding it out the car pushed more than 500hp!
they made a pinned comment that they messed up
Ah yes the good old times when they sold you a better car than what they advertised.
Soooo... Maybe a "Get up to speed on the Dacia Sandero"? For James May
Good news!
Stiv Are you from central Europe?
Ft/may
IPinker yeh... Why?
Bloody nora !
This is my dream car, thanks for the information I knew half about!
I also have a Lego model of this car.
The F40 is my favorite Ferrari. I saw several when I lived in Sicily. Drooled every time! Oh, if I ever win the lottery, one will be mine.... it will be mine!!
Pagani Zonda next!
Low Drop IMO Pagani makes the sexiest super cars these days

Low Drop "IMO" How dare you disrespect my opinion!
Ain't gonna happen bud! Pagani is too good for us peasants!!! 'Miser' Pagani is an Ar'tist!
Definately has and always will be my ultimate dreamcar since childhood. Just looking at the car gives me chills which even most modern supercars cannot compare to. One of my friends and personal clients has an F40 which is finally being shipped next month from Toronto. He's taking me out for a ride in it this summer. My childhood dreams will finally be true
My Son who is 7 has a toy F40 and absolutely loves it. Thanks for the great video.
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this

First Up to Speed episode ever to not feature "post malone" and "just like my dad"
Isaac Bourn he could make an Up to Speed Ep. about his dad...then Jessica 😂
doesnt the F40 Push up to 500 Horsepower ?
Clemens 10le it makes 478 hp
US Spec cars made a little over 500 hp because they're heavier, so Ferrari fixed it adding power.
hassaan ahmed Europe spec.The american spec f40 was heavyer so it had around 500 hp if i remebered correctly
actually the ferrari stated it to be ( at least ) 478hp. Some F40s tho made over 600 hp
Clemens 10le Over *500.
My favorite Ferrari of all time. I was obsessed with the F-40 as a kid and still am. Between the F-40 and the 959 I was in love and still am. Group B cars were all so sick. What an awesome time I'm automotive history!
Hey Pumphrey great videos, just know your fans are here for you this father's day. I know this is a difficult time of year for you but you gotta be strong for Nolan
The F40 is so iconic it earned a separate video. Can't wait to see the Up to Speed of Ferrari's entire lineup
Porsche 959 next
Anthony Galon yes!
I agree
As long as he doesn't forget the 959s
Yep! Love em to pieces. THAT was on my wall, along with many drawings!
Yes Please
1:06 holy F*CK!!! That was a close one!!
I remember seeing one about 15 years ago pass me on interstate 10 near downtown New Orleans and I said to myself "a million dollars just passed me". Prettiest Ferrari body style ever.
One of the interesting thing on maintaining an F40 is that, if you had non-US model, you had to replace rubber fuel cell every 10 years. US model comes with aluminium tank which is heavier but don't need replacing.
I'm diabetic and this is the only way I can enjoy donuts. Also, I want a donut media keychain. Please

What if you eat one without filling? Would that be dangerous?
lego technic I would still get a high fever and hospitalized again
Buy a keychain then
DrewST Uno. Found out by passing out at work
This is why I love the c4 corvette. The pure 80s styling and brutalness is just so fun compared to all the new heavy, over computerized road detached vehicles of today.
Up to Speed: Le Mans
(bit late i know)
My favourite car show
It has to be The ULTIMATE FERRARI! Im not even the biggest Ferrari fan but you have to love the F40!
Marc Famler definitely one of my favorite cars ever. Such a legend that people forgot it got out dragged by a Buick
The buick can't handle any corners compared to the ferrari though.
The F40 is one of my favorite cars in general and my absolute favorite Ferrari.
For me, there's something special about this channel.
Can we get an up to speed on James. I want to know more about this man.
Michael Capistran he's not a car, shut up.
Go hit him up on Facebook.
Cat fight me
Remeber when Petrolicious' video of the F40 came out, and how disappointing it was? This was the exact opposite.
Mitchell Denham every petrolicious video is disappointing to me for some reason
The only thing that I found disappointing about the Petrolicious video was how short it was.
Petrolicious videos feel less like car ownership and more like "interviewing rich guys" nowadays.
What a piece of art.
8:00 for those of you who want that "eargasm" again
Rest in piece Enzo, you will be remembered fondly by all car guys and girls
The F40.
The F friggin 40.
the one of the most legendary Ferrari.
YESH!
I saw one today driving home from church and I just thought to myself that is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen
I used hate cars , until when I was years old that i got to know the f40
i was stagerd about the performance and fell in love with the beauty
that made me a car guy.
i still have the poster on my bedroom's wall.
Would you ever do an "Up to Speed" on a person? Ex: Ayrton Senna, Bruce McLaren, etc.
I think Donut may have another series for that, but don't quote me. I actually rented the Senna movie on youtube earlier this week and I must say, it was spectacular! I definitely recommend.
There are at least 3 major change on F40. First is that early car used slide perspex like in race car, but this is found to be unpractical and annoying so next car comes with wind up regular windows. Next come the catalytic converter and last is the adjustable suspension, which helps owner to easily changed their suspension setting.
The F40 is an eternal shape. The perfect car. Will never be beat.
These videos are the perfect example of why we need a LOVE button.
can you do a get up to speed on a golf cart pls!!!!!!!!
Yea
Kyan Arce dude
You da same person
Bruh
4:58 278HP? You mean 478HP?
I really love your attitude and your energy and character you are really awesome host i"ve seen all of your videos cuz its catch your heart
First, they say 478hp, but all test show it had way more , over 500hp... Second type " Ferrari f40 on the road 320km/h" . this car can go way over 200mph.
Cheers :)
Up to speed: Your Dad

Please do a Ferrari Testatossa I want to know more because my dad had one.
Then ask your dad.
Paul Allen thanks dude
That's my favorite Ferrari of all time
did u ask him yet
The car he drove when he never came back ?
For me Ferrari F40 is still the most beautiful, fascinating, attracting, performing, complete and amazing supercar ever made.
I’m sorry it’s been long enough, “Ferrari archival footage” scene kills me to this day I love it so much. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Finally It's FERRARI🐎
278hp??? That's not right
The Sultan of Brunei orders 7 RH F40s, in various colours including yellow, white & black all with black leather. 2 cars are now sold in the U. K. and returned to original red.
You guys should do a LaFerrari
Pagani Zonda up to speed plz
Or just Pagani
I actually feel sad for Enzo Ferrari he is no longer with us and It would be crazy If he knew what his own car manufacturer has become 😢
With the amount of success he had during his time alive, to the point that every car manufacturer was setting him as the one to beat, I'm sure he would be happy to see how well they have taken care of his legacy.
Profitable?
The entire car world has been on a downfall for the past 20 years...At least Ferrari keeps on doing amazing looking cars and it's still the most known and powerful car brands in the world
@@giuseppemaggio5894 The only sad thing a Ferrari is pretty expensive its not possible for everyone to buy one they are amazing but expensive.
He'd probably die two more times if he saw the SF1000 and kill everyone who made that so-called F1 car
God the thought that the last car that Enzo made, and that it's so god damn amazing in every way just makes me emotional
The 96 F50 GT Is one of my all-time favorite cars.
all the snapshots from Monaco make me proud to say ive been there :D
Pontiac Aztec next please
Bryson Erwin or fiat multipla
Pontiac K car
That sound... OMG
I wanna get uo to speed on the Ferrari Enzo.
Good video but spoke a lot wrong, the F40 of the first months of production European version had more than 600hps and reached more than 360kmh / 220mph proved by one owner in Boneville and it was 0-100kmh or 0-62mph in about 3.2s , you are speaking of the tests in the F40 from the second semester of production onwards that received several restrictions !! In the next more research or talk to owners of the first units, I talked a lot with one, if you want to move his social networks to ask you more ...
Your wrong, though.
The F40 never made 600bhp from the factory, some made more than the 477, yes.
But the differences were simply down to the fact that the F40 was handbuilt by Italians(Which isn't exactly known for being accurate, just ask Chris Harris).
And Bob Norwoods F40 run in 2006 at Boneville isn't useable in the slightest.
As the F40 used is using slick tyres, and low downforce setup..
Also, just because a guy happen to own the car in question, don't make him a expert, just biased..
You are wrong, the first units had the same power as the 288 GTO EVO, if I am not mistaken the first twenty or thirty, they were lighter and stronger, the engine had no restriction and direct exhaust, if it in fact and not by internet video, I have been working with this type of car for over ten years, I only speak what I have already seen, the owner I spoke to was dynamometer tested a few times, and in all of them it yielded more than 600hps in the wheel!!
Just FYI, I’m pretty sure that 100kph translates to 60mph, not 62 but it might have just been a typo
Marcelo S Donut Media isn’t really known for its accuracy sadly
CarDriver 3355 no it doesn't . 100khm is 62mph
Do a Jaguar XJ220
I saw a 288 GTO about a month ago. It was parked out behind a dealership next to the grocery store I was going to. I was seriously considering climbing over the fence and stealing that beauty. Also saw a black first gen NSX outside another dealership last week. I was so excited, until I noticed the sign saying "Customer Parking" directly in front of it. Still a sweet car

It was allready done.
Speaking of Gordon Murray, quick story
On 1995 Le Mans, Gordon Murray laughed at the horribly welded chassis, so the Ferrari engineer made a bit that the 7-year-old F40 will be faster than the fresh F1 GTR. Well, it did, by around 1 second (I forgot how much exactly). Well, we all know who took the big trophy home, but just take a second to appreciate how an old Ferrari beat the greatest car ever made.
@@danysonantony3847 any other idea?
@@danysonantony3847 idk but I think there will never gonna be a car like F1 again. Imagine winning Le Mans and breaking speed record by accident.
Was that, David Patterson “that dude in blue” at the beginning of the video? The f40 was probably my favourite Ferrari growing up as a kid, probably still is. Only way I get to drive one is on gt sport. What a car!
