Hotels are the best places to spot expensive cars. Hotel Casa Bianca Al Mare in the small town of Lido di Jesolo at the Italian coast is a place where you wouldn't immediately expect a very rare supercar. The Ferrari that is spotted by ///Marco.it belongs in a very special category. This is one of the most valuable and rare cars you can spot nowadays!
The standard F40 is already a brute, the F40 LM is even more rare with only 19 built copies. During the production of the F40 Ferrari never planned on racing with the F40. Daniel Marin, manager at Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi SA took the initiative and Padova Ferrari service center had to build a Ferrari F40 according to the racing regulations in the United States. This company already rebuilt the 308 GTB to Group B and Group 4 racing cars.
The result was the F40 LM where LM stands for Le Mans. This F40 is more exclusive and more spectacular than the standard F40. Only very good customers had the chance to get a LM. You can recognize the F40 LM by the more aggresive styled bodywork. But that's just the beginning. The car has a stiffer chassis, racing interior, stiffer dampers, more powerful brakes, an improved gearbox and a tuned V8. The normal F40 produces 478 hp but the power of the Le Mans is between 850 and 900 hp. The top speed of this brute is over 350 kph. This is not just your ordinary supercar!
Earlier this week, one of the nineteen F40 LMs was auctioned at Pebble Beach. Serial number eighteen is being auctioned. The expected price of the car is between 1.7 and 2.1 million euros. Buying a Ferrari F40 is a great investment for those with a lot of money. The price of the car keeps increasing. The F40 is still one of the best Ferraris ever. On Autogespot, you will find only four copies of the F40 LM Michelotto.
