🇮🇹 Ferrari F40 LM
1 of 19
The footage of ex F1 driver Jacques Laffite driving the Ferrari F40 LM is widely considered one of the most visceral and iconic pieces of automotive film recorded.
Filmed in December 1992 for the French TV show Turbo, the sequence features the former F1 driver pushing the ultra-exclusive racer around the Mas du Clos circuit in France.
The Vehicle: F40 LM (Le Mans)
While the standard F40 was already a legend, the LM (built by Michelotto) was a different beast entirely
Upgraded to roughly 720–780 hp (compared to the road car's 471 hp).
Stripped down to approximately 1,050 kg.
Equipped with a non-synchromesh (dog-ring) gearbox, requiring precise heel-and-toe shifting.
Featured a more aggressive front splitter, an adjustable rear wing, and fixed headlights to replace the pop-ups.
Laffite famously drives the car wearing casual slacks and deck shoes (loafers), without a helmet or fire suit, contrasting sharply with the car’s brutal nature.
You can see Laffite physically wrestling with the heavy steering and the "recalcitrant" gearbox, demonstrating the immense skill required to manage the massive turbo lag and mechanical grip.
The F40 LM driven by Laffite in that session (Chassis #79891) remains a "holy grail" for Ferrari collectors, representing the peak of the analog supercar era.

@SylvainGuintoli I didn't know your story when I saw you running yesterday, you've done everyone so proud and set a world record at the same time. I cannot imagine your pain but you're truly an inspiration.

Suspension basics: 🔧
• Solid Axle: Pure strength (Off-road 🏔️)
• MacPherson: Smart & light (Daily 🚗)
• Multi-link: Total control (Sport 🏁)
Engineering is the art of compromise. What’s your pick?

MacPherson vs Multilink: non è solo ferro, è geometria. 🛠️
Il primo è compatto ed economico, il secondo è il re della precisione in curva. Quale preferite per il feeling di guida? 🏎️💨
