Official acceleration diagram from Nardò test of the F40
Look at the 400m to 1000m time is 9s because the driver shifted two times, inside both distances. Shifthing from 3rd to 4th gear he took a long time looking at the graph.
Rombo magazine entry speed was similar but it waa done already in 4th gear. Transient speed was quick, and maybe Larini didn't lose much by fitting the 5th gear. He gained a lot of time comparing this elapsed 400 to 1000 meters time.
At the same time Auto's driver did better from 400 to 1000m because he never shifted. Entry and exit speed were lower but he gained time with no shifts.
Quattroruote seems it shifts before 400m and it seems he shifted at 260 kph.
AMS was fast on entry speed but then, it was not the best transient speed at all.

Does anyone know about this F40 test from July 1988? I've seen references that it reached 202.6 mph (but this needs to be confirmed).

By assuming the density of air 1.225 kg/m^3, I counted the downforce of F40. Turned out to be -68 kg at 200 kmh.

I am wondering about that chassis sticker. Says 4 weights 830 kg but has 2 1430kg.
It has chassis code numbers of Ferrari so I am wondering this maybe a legit F40 Ferrari.

Anyway it was said that Tipo USA F40 was rated to be around 515 hp. It seems that during the process to refine gasses engineers found some extra power. In my idea that was just partially true, because lots of EU F40s were enough powerful to be faster than US cars. I always tought that that happens because of the same process of engine production more than other choice and no matter the figure Ferrari power claimed.

So the Top Gear lap was a "Did Not Start".
@FastestLaps can I add this time?

Are there top speed figures achieved by the Ferrari F40 GTE in the BRP Global GT Series in 1995/1996?
