About the Ferrari F40 #40 J-P. Jabouille / O. Grouillard Art Sports 1987 Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 Ferrari F40 reproduces the final car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, dressed in the #40 Art Sports competition livery driven by Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Olivier Grouillard. Diecast construction and mass-market pricing make this turbocharged legend accessible to any Ferrari-themed shelf.

The F40 arrived in 1987 as Enzo Ferrari's final personal approval, a twin-turbo statement built for speed above comfort. Bburago's 1:18 diecast takes that road-going legend and dresses it in the #40 Art Sports racing colors, adding a competition layer to an already extreme car.

The F40's Final Approval and Competition Liveries

The F40 was the last Ferrari Enzo Ferrari personally signed off before his death in 1988, a lightweight composite-bodied coupe built around a twin-turbocharged V8 with almost nothing added for comfort. That stripped-down brief made it a natural candidate for GT competition, and F40-based racers ran in European endurance and GT fields through the late 1980s and into the following decade. This particular livery carries the #40 Art Sports colors and names two recognizable drivers, Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Olivier Grouillard, both of whom raced in Formula 1 before moving into sports car competition. The exact event this specific paint scheme represents sits outside what the listing confirms, but the racing dress itself tells a true story: the F40 was built to be raced, not just admired in a showroom.

Bburago's Diecast Take on a Turbocharged Icon

Bburago builds this F40 in zinc alloy diecast, and lifting it out of the box the weight makes the mass-market price point feel generous. Doors and other body panels typically open on Bburago's 1:18 line, giving a look at the cabin without the sealed-body precision resin casting would deliver instead. Panel gaps run wider than a premium resin build would allow, and the livery graphics are applied with less precision than a hand-finished piece, honest trade-offs at this tier. What the model does capture well is the F40's flat planes, the NACA-style intakes, and the aggressive rear wing, the shapes that make the silhouette instantly readable even in diecast form.

Placing the #40 F40 in a Ferrari Lineup

This F40 works best paired with a road-going Rosso Corsa example or alongside other period Ferrari competition liveries, letting the #40 scheme stand out against a plain factory finish. At an accessible price, it lets a collector fill out a 1980s supercar or Ferrari racing theme without committing hero-piece money to every entry.
