well spotted mate.
those vents stlying is so similar between the duke and F40.
probably designed by the same person, that know what they are doing.

The vents are called NACA (later NASA) ducts.

The F40 has always been the dream car for me, seen a few locally in the last year or maybe its just the same car. My mates boss has one. Theres something about them a certain rawness that the later Ferraris (F50 and Enzo) just dont have.

Most exotic I have seen on the road was a Mclaren F1. It was on the road up to Hawes back in 1993 or 1994 or whenever they came out. The same car on the same road was featured the following month in Performance Car magazine and it was John Barker testing it. Awesome but I would still go for the F40 if I had any money.

Stunning motors...even more so when you consider they are 16 years old !!!!!!

Remember a guy round this way having one and he had to have the louvered rear window replaced that covers the engine bay....

A snip at 12 GRAND...

Interesting thread but why does no one mention the F50 or the Enzo, both beautiful machines along with the Fiesta 1.8D
