Highly regarded and considered the greatest Ferrari ever made, seeing one F40 can often be an exercise of unequivocal joy of excitement. The Ferrari Legacy Tour one-upped that, or should we say upped it by 30 by honouring the iconic model.

Police escort on winding Italian country roads with a convoy of Ferrari F40s? That is what the Ferrari Legacy Tour was all about.

Starting at the Augustus Hotel & Resort in Forte dei Marmi, nestled in the picturesque Tuscany region of Italy, the embedded video by 19Bozzy92 showcases the impressive sight of a parking lot filled with F40s. Impressively, the grand total of 1 311 F40s ever produced, 30 from all over the world managed to find their way to the Ferrari Legacy Tour.
The Ferrari Legacy Tour guided the drivers through a series of winding, rural roads, taking them to charming locations like the town of San Miniato. The second day of the tour was dedicated to exploring Italy’s breathtaking Apennine Mountains. These winding mountain roads, once part of the Mille Miglia, served as an ode to Ferrari’s previous racing successes. The video captures the F40s as they expertly navigate the tight and twisty tracks, with their exhausts emitting signature crackles.
The climax of the tour was a visit to Ferrari’s birthplace in Maranello, Italy. Here, participants had the opportunity to take a celebratory lap around the renowned Fiorano test track and enjoy an acceleration run as they exited the gates of the Ferrari headquarters.
The Legacy Tour allows owners to bask in the sheer joy of driving their cherished F40s and to celebrate these iconic supercars that continue to captivate car enthusiasts. Even after nearly 35 years since its debut, the Ferrari F40 remains a symbol of automotive excellence. Much of this was credited to the F40 becoming the first production supercar to crack 200mph while much of its allure also comes from it being the final vehicle signed off by Enzo himself before the veteran passed away.
Behind the cabin is a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 engine producing 352kW, and it can only be paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, ensuring a truly engaging driving experience.
