Farmkhana: Hooning A Rare Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 is the pinnacle of posh Italian motoring. This 40th anniversary celebration is also a drop dead serious performance car with a twin turbocharged, mid-ship mounted V8 pumping out 471 horsepower. A rare bird, with a scant 1,311 making it off the production line in Maranello between 1987 and 1996, hooning is not generally thought to be in the F40’s DNA.

How did one of these rare, highly desirable, and decidedly metropolitan supercar find itself hooning on the farm? Enter TaxTheRich100 which has made a habit of power sliding supercars in the most out place locals. Ferrari Enzos, Jaguar XJ220s, Bugatti EB110s, and Rolls Royce Phantom IIs have been put in power drifting situations in ‘exotic’ locales.

The F40 is not a cheap date. Originally sold for around $400,000 but dealer mark-ups back in the day put prices of some examples landed in the $700,000 to $900,000 range in 1991. Today, the going price for one is in the $1.2 Million to $1.6 Million range.

The video shows an F40 in racing livery tooling around a farm yard power sliding around cones in slow motion. At first it feels like a parody, but one soon realizes this is the real deal and while there was less of the thrill-seeking antics with Segways, dock edges, and stationary objects, it is pretty ballsy to hang the tail of such a rare Prancing Horse out like the TaxTheRich100 crew does. Our only problem with these antic is the footage is too short and we are left wanting more, so all we can say is keep the cameras rolling a little longer.
