You’re really confident doing DIY stuff, can you make a video about how you got started working on cars?

Definitely agree on the usability of it instead of a genuine one, some nice up to date turbo's and engine management and hopefully sound like the LM in the video 👌

I honestly want to see maybe a twin turbo 360 engine. Just to keep the Forced induction nature of the F40

Fantastic project. If anyone can pull this off it is you !!! I will love watching the series.

Sounds like a great project! Having built (and rebuilding) a Ferrari/Porshe inspired electric sports car from a similar starting point I know the amount of work you are in for though. You got to love a crazy guy! Keep us posted.

I absolutely agree if you can't afford your dream car but it a possibility to build one for a fraction of the price why not, many kit cars are out there already and most people can't tell the difference.

Always enjoy your videos! This F40 Tribute Project would be awesome to see happen.

that vid of the lm being driven in the 80's is so so 80's - xmas jumper, slip on shoes... just need a couple of brandy's before you get in the car and a JPS to smoke whilst driving

You should go for it, building one from stratch will be very satisfying and the result will be a car that can be driven hard. I've seen a local F40 build and it's great to see it come together, some parts aren't that complex to make with today's technology, like cnc routers, pipe benders erc

Hi Scott another great video, I would love to see a F40 with a luxurious interior, one with all the toys, like electric windows, carpets, headlining and all electrics, ie windows, mirrors, air con, but keep the running gear as raw as it should be. I know that doing that is contrary to what the F40 is but it would be a great all rounder and even with the extra weight I’m sure with a modern tuned /built engine that weight would be norhing

That noise from the F40 engine is human-like, that's the appeal and connection, it's like a living being.

Wow this would be an amazing built to watch. Good luck and look forward to the progress 👍

Go for it Scott! This would be an epic project for sure. I’m not sure you could do it for 100,000 BPS though. You’ll probably be closer to 150,000 BPS, but it’ll be the car you’re dreaming about and completely worth it. I’ll keep my eyes out for parts

This Is Going To Be A Really Fun Series Scott!! I'm Excited For You!!

love the channel. You are really pulling the Ferrari brand down to another level :)) I agree that the F40 is the coolest at the moment

Get ready for some MUST WATCH Videos. Can’t wait. F40 build with people that know what they are doing. You are a Luck man.

Just stumbled on this video. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with building this awesome project.

Looking forward to seeing this happen Scott 👍🙂

Amazing idea/ project. Only thing may be the fiberglass panels. If you found someone that could make the panels of that molds but in kevlar or carbon fiber would take this f40 tribute to the next level of legitimacy

Sounds brilliant Scott, I love this kind of thing. A GT40 is the next thing up my sleeve. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of hate from the stuffy purists, but I’m behind you 100% can’t wait to see it start coming together

Soo looking forward to this build. Good luck!!!!

I like this idea Scott. Think you'll definitely need to finish the BB and the Spyder projects as this f40 will be a monster project.( in time) 100k will be very tight. Unless you use a whole donor car for parts and just replicate the "show parts" like, exterior & Body, wheels, brakes, interior. The engine would definitely have to be turbocharged. You're going to need a genuine f40 for reference & datum points, General dimensions. As long as the body is 100% accurate as in the project you showed, and the interior is as close as original as possible the mechanicals are not so critical (mostly undercover) other than being turbocharged. I'll do my bit and subscribe.

I did the same thing with the Porsche 997 GT2RS. I built an exact replica based on a 997 Turbo. I sourced genuine parts mainly from Porsche and also from some other Porsche suppliers, including the carbon front wings (costing over £6,000 each at the time). I did a centrelock conversion and the full interior including carbon seats, new roof, the list is endless. The car has engine modifications also. The project took me almost 5 years. I can now enjoy the car without the worry of it being an origonal car. I can honestly say it's completely worth it. Yes you will get the peanut gallery saying its not original but you will get 90% of the experience and 100% the same enjoyment of an original car

Hey Scott Just bumped into this video, Anyone doubting just how much fun this would be is a fool...If anyone has seen the Jonny Smith video of the 'fake' 250GTO then my point is made. I think you could do it quite efficiently you know enough about the parts to do it well. there are plenty of scabby 328's around that would be perfect donors, and a 360 engine would easily fit the bill for the power train. As long as it stays light and true to the Idea, then you could probably get a few panels done in carbon within budget. If you need someone that is a superb all rounder with fabricating from metal to cloth I have a friend thats a whizz. Just shout. Good Luck

I would never be able to do this there’s so many questions one being, Is it a real Ferrari? I mean subframe and parts and molds from original pieces but at the end of the day, is this worth 100k+ ?

Wow good luck . I see the one at the Warren wasn't until I got up close I realised it was a replica.

Go for it bro you'll never get another chance and you can use the ratas engine and box till you find an engine. wow, imagine that sat next to the boxer. It's a must most of the hard works has been done for you too.

After hearing that F40 lm exhaust note I think you got me an interest I didn’t know I had

Frankensteins will be the future! And that original F40 footage!

Finally A non sue able ferrari.

Massive center tube in the passenger compartment as well as monstrous perimeter framing.Looks right.

There is a guy in nz who had done a f40 in your same idea, but he had a twin turbo 1uz(approx 750hp)in it, there are a couple of videos of it on youtube.

This would pretty much be my dream car too. Even if I could afford to buy an original F40 (and if I could, I would), I'd still love to build something that looked like an original, but used modern components. I know this isn't a realistic (cost) direction for your build, but can you imagine a visually perfect F40 replica with the underpinnings of the F8 Tributo... I can understand the cries of heresy with this whole replica idea; but aren't quite a few of the 250 GTOs that get raced actually replicas? Granted I understand they're replicas where the owner has possession of an original example.

The key to making a replica, I think, is to do it well and generally in the spirit of the original. Replicas have a bad reputation because some are truly terrible, but generally anything with a custom chassis and an engine with similar power is pretty going to be pretty decent (the cost of those meaning its worth making the car look good, even if its not 100% accurate). Ratarossa knows enough about ferraris, and has enough access to ferrari parts, that any build he does will do it justice. I think replicas of super valuable cars are a good thing, as the originals being worth so much means people wont drive them through fear of damage or mileage affecting value. You just have to do what you find fun.

Does the gentleman selling the LM replica still have access to the body moulds? That’s the key question. If so, you might be onto a winner. Would you sacrifice a 308 / 328 as a donor chassis? It’s absolutely do-able.
