Because great handling is a safety feature, too
Officine Fioravanti , a tuner headquartered in Switzerland and working out of Turin, has revealed a rather gorgeous restomod of an already gorgeous Ferrari : this is the F40 Alte Prestazioni. For those who don’t speak Italian, that suffix translates as ‘high performance’.
‘But the F40 doesn’t need any more performance,’ you legitimately cry. And your cries are correct. Fresh out of Maranello, the F40 had a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 shoved in its middle, managed by a five-speed gearbox and diff, sending 471hp to those fat rear tires.Ford has already 3D-printed 1,000+ parts for the 2026 Red Bull F1 carIt’ll chalk off 0-100kph in 4.1s on its way to a 323kph top speed. And yet, as you’ve no doubt seen, the F40 is… notoriously brutal.
So, their upgrades not only focus on making the Ferrari F40 shiny and new, but also “safer, more accessible and, when necessary, even more high performing”. There’s fancy four-way adjustable Öhlins suspension, plus “precision machined” arms, bearings, and hubs, all made from “aerospace-grade” materials said to aid durability.OF has specced its own carbon ceramic discs with Brembo calipers bolted over them, while those new hubs feature an integrated air duct for better cooling of the rotors.
On that first point: OF has retrofitted an ABS system, with “cutting edge sensors for optimal brake management”. And on the second point: it’s also added hydraulic power assistance and a “close steering rack.” There’s even a front lifter to better ease over bumps or curbs. To cap it all off, there’s a set of OF’s own 18in or 19in lightweight alloys, shod in Michelin Cup 2s or Pirelli Trofeo Rs and featuring center locks.
Though, OF very much wants you to touch it, because these upgrades are there to “preserve the precious original components from natural wear but also to create a true incentive for owners”.See Also Read Next BMW M5 E39: Celebrating its understated brilliance View other articles about:
