    F-40s look best in Rosso Corso. Period.

    Okay, be different, maybe get one in yellow. Or black.

    But why anyone would pay over a half million dollars for this car, and CHOOSE white, is utterly mysterious to me. (Guess it beats lime green, though ;) .)

    I think white is one of the best colors for a ferrari or any other car.

    I personally think White looks great, but a black F40 would be even better!

    I'm blown away, I figured every F40 was Rosso Corso. Thanks for the pictures Jorge! I think white looks great, IMO. Does anyone have an official breakdown of numbers/color produced. Black would be great as well, agreed! Learned something today, as everyday on Fchat, thanks!

    Well they didn't "choose" white, they had it repainted. F40's only came from the factory in red.

    As I said in the thread above, ALL F40's came from the factory in red. Any other colors are repaints.

    Jorge.enzo's pics have almost convinced me that F-40s even look all right in white. (I still think I'd choose red if I ever get an F-40, though.)

    I get your point, but even when someone re-paints their car, they're CHOOSING the color. Personally, I'd stick with the color it was painted at the factory.

    Your right, it is not the Brunei car. This and the Brunei car are the two white F40's that I know of.
