Gaz 29 Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Dont get me wrong, i understand the car. As in i understand that it is basic motoring, a car made for driving and to be enjoyed. I just dont like it. Its a hideous thing I didnt even like it when it came out in 87. And i was 4, mad keen on cars. For a supercar to fail the 4 year old car nut test, thats pretty bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhc 28 Report post Posted November 21, 2011 I appreciate the f40 for what it is, a pure drivers car. But the 959 near enough equaled it for speed, handling etc yet did it with carpets. It was so far ahead of its time some of the kit it had is still thought of as 'new' now. Whereas the f40 just took a tried and tested method and did it well - 'add power, decrease weight' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redmatt75 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 This is one of those enjoyable cases where I can argue in detail the relative merits of two cars I have never even seen in real life before, let alone driven or (don't make me laugh) owned. I agree with Munky, that the 959 was extremely accomplished technically, but unfortunately it's hideous looking. All massive fat arsed hanging out the rear uglyness. The F40 is no E-type Jag in the looks department, but of the two function-over-form eighties ugly uber-cars, it would be my choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
