The Ferrari F40 (1987) was a raw, race-inspired machine with a Kevlar and carbon fiber body, massive rear wing, and aggressive aerodynamics designed for speed. Pininfarina’s design prioritized function, resulting in a lightweight, brutally styled wedge that epitomized ‘80s performance aesthetics.
In contrast, the Porsche 959 (1986) blended futuristic technology with refined aerodynamics. Its smooth, rounded shape, integrated rear wing, and advanced all-wheel-drive system made it a high-tech marvel. While the F40 embodied raw power, the 959 previewed the future of supercars with its innovation-focused design.
