About the Ferrari F40 Pirelli Agip #1 Black Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 wears a black Pirelli Agip #1 racing livery, an entry-tier take on the twin-turbo supercar that was the last car Enzo Ferrari personally approved. The competition dress separates this piece from the standard road-going Rosso Corsa versions.
Ferrari built the F40 in 1987 to mark the company's fortieth anniversary, and dressing this diecast in sponsor livery instead of factory red nods to the racing career the road car's competition derivatives went on to have.
Bburago's Racing Dress for the F40
The black bodywork carries Pirelli and Agip sponsor graphics and a #1 race number, applied with the tampo printing Bburago has long used to bring sponsor liveries to mass-market diecast at accessible prices. The wedge-shaped body, pop-up headlights, and rear wing that define the F40's silhouette all come through clearly, and the diecast weight gives the model a solidity that plastic alternatives lack. Panel gaps and interior detail sit at the entry tier rather than matching a premium resin build, and the printed graphics show the slight softness typical of mass-market tampo work under close inspection. Still, the overall effect reads convincingly as a period competition F40, which is the point of choosing this livery over the standard road car finish.
The F40's Competition Career Beyond the Road
The F40 was designed first as an uncompromising road car, twin-turbocharged and stripped of comfort features in the name of speed, but its bones proved suitable for competition too. Privateer teams and Ferrari-supported programs campaigned F40-based cars in GT racing into the early 1990s, running liveries much like the Pirelli and Agip colors on this diecast. That racing chapter sits somewhat in the shadow of the F40's road-car fame, but it gives a livery like this one genuine context rather than treating it as decoration. For a Ferrari-themed shelf, pairing this competition-dressed F40 with a standard red road version tells a more complete version of the car's story than either piece alone.
