1988 Ferrari F40

Following changes to Group B racing regulation in 1982, Nicola Materazzi convinced Enzo Ferrari to build a Ferrari that would be worth entering. The two sought permission from Ferrari’s production department and were only granted approval if the new car was built outside of work hours, where they then had to personally convince a small group of engineers to give up their weekends to build the ultimate Group B racing machine. Using the 288 platform, a small team developed what would become the GTO Evoluzione. But just as they finished production: disaster struck. Group B rules were changed and now the GTO Evoluzione wasn’t able to enter.

Not to be deterred, the team took their work and paired with Pininfarina designer Pietro Camardella to bring to life a new car, the Ferrari F40. The car they created is a monster, with a 2.9 liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 471 horsepower and 426 pound-feet of torque while weighing only 3,018 pounds. When the vehicle was unveiled to press, it left them speechless. Many referred to it as a UFO because of its long wedge-shaped body.

It didn’t take long before the car graced the cover of every automotive magazine, poster the walls of every boy’s bedroom, and appear in the garages of the biggest celebrities. With only a little over 1,300 produced, they are, well, pretty rare. And now it’s your chance to own and drive one thanks to the previous owners being preoccupied with zombification.

This mod adds the 1988 Ferrari F40 supercar to the game for you to find and drive. It’s a two-door two-seat mid-engine rear wheel drive sports car that accelerates quickly, has an impressive top speed, handles well, and brakes effectively. But it doesn’t have a lot of storage, isn’t particularly strong, and is very rare, so you’ll have to be careful with it if you are able to find one.

Features include:

• One Color Option: It only comes in one color, Rosso Corsa red (of course)
• Animated: Opening doors, windows, frunk, and engine bay
• Mechanic System: Removable/repairable parts with custom graphics
• Physics: Realistic handling and properties
• Distribution: It is quite rare, it can only be found where sports cars spawn
• Localized: Includes translations for Chinese (Simplified), English, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish

Pop-up headlights: Still working on this. Right now I’ve just got the driving lights acting as headlamps. Hang tight.

Armor: You’ll notice this release doesn’t include improvised armor. I went back and forth on whether to include it and ultimately decided not to, as I feel that players using it will probably use it as a showcase vehicle as part of their collection. If enough folks want, I can add armor to the car as an update.

My goal is to release cars that fit into the vanilla game world and stylistically match the base-game’s textures and art design. Additionally, I’ve also strive for my work to be ultra light-weight (to keep performance smooth) and to look great with other vehicle mods that share a similar ethos, such as Filibuster Rhymes’ Used Cars, fhqwhgads’ Motorious Zone, and improvement mods such as the Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer, among others.

My vehicle mods use real world names.
