Ferrari painted every F40 red. All 1,311 of them left the factory in the same color, and when the Sultan of Brunei wanted his in something else, he had to send them out to be redone after the fact.
So this blue one is a trick. It's film, a brushed-metal wrap called Blue Steel, and the company that makes it cut only 50 rolls worldwide. Do the math on that. The material covering this car is rarer than the car it's covering.
The reason nobody paints an F40 blue is money. Original F40 paint was famously so thin you could see the carbon-kevlar weave through it, because Ferrari counted grams on this car. It shipped with no carpet and no radio. Collectors pay a premium for cars that still wear that factory-thin red, and a respray would vaporize a chunk of a $3 million valuation the moment the gun came out.
A wrap sidesteps all of it. The owner gets to commit Ferrari heresy for a season, and when the market comes calling, it peels off and the untouched red is still underneath.
1,311 F40s. 50 rolls of film. For once the wrap is the harder thing to get.
๐ Gutted to hear that GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is sadly no longer with us after sustaining an injury in the field.
๐ Having been retired just a short while ago, it's so, so cruel that this equine legend won't get a long and happy retirement.
๐ Sleep well, big man.
Dear god I hope this lead isn't true
But I'm hearing reports from someone who worked security outside Umar's locker room that Umar Nurmagomedov actually poo'd his pants immediately after being KO'd by Song Yadong at UFC Shanghai
Would explain why they rushed him backstage
@WadePlem@JosephJJ72 Thatโs what eddie is is insinuating, otherwise the presumption would be that negotiations would have no issue. It seems like Viddal has expressed he wants to maintain some sort of involvement in that world and that doesnโt marry up with what Eddie wants.
@WadePlem@IfnBoxing Heโs saying heโs not interested if heโs gonna fight influencers on misfits. Think the like of idris Virgo.. Eddie isnโt interested in the legitimising influencer boxing by mixing real talent with them.
@cosmicsoup88@NoticerNews Into nazis or would you like to be more specific. Although being English our opinion on nazis is self explanatory; the only good one is dead one.
