Clay Regazzoni (1939–2006) was a Swiss Formula One driver renowned for his competitive spirit and charisma in the 1970s. Debuting with Ferrari in 1970, he won his first race at Monza and later drove for teams like BRM, Ensign, and Williams, earning five Grand Prix victories. After a 1980 crash left him paralyzed, he became an advocate for disabled drivers and continued to inspire with his resilience and dedication to motorsports.
The Ferrari F40's technical blueprints showcase the engineering brilliance behind this iconic supercar, designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary. Introduced in 1987, the F40 features a lightweight tubular steel frame with Kevlar-reinforced panels for rigidity. Powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 478 horsepower, it achieved a top speed of 201 mph. The blueprints highlight its advanced aerodynamics, including large rear spoilers and NACA ducts, and its stripped-down interior, emphasizing performance over luxury.
These designs solidify the F40's legacy as a pure, track-focused machine. This unique offering presents a rare opportunity for Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors alike.

@Ettore77 Thanks. Not sure from that, of their value or importance. But appreciate your reply
@Lottacars They belonged to a former designer, from his private archive.
Hello. What was the purpose for these blueprints? They are obvioulsy not detailed enough from which to build a car? What purpose did they serve and who used them? Marketing? Or ?? Thank you.
