What’s happening?
One of the 1,315 F40s built by Ferrari went viral everywhere – even in the official broadcast of the 2023 Monaco GP it was captured on more than one occasion, not to mention the boom in social networks where people quickly co-shared- The already famous F40 exhibited at the bow of the Quinta Essentia, a 180-foot yacht -almost 55 meters- long, and Needless to say, it was the ONLY Ferrari to do something memorable on the GP weekend that EVERY driver wants to win.
The idea came from the executives of Altr an online luxury boutique that allows you to purchase luxury items using cryptocurrency and Polygon Matic. According to a description posted on the company’s website: Altr represents a “gateway to the world of luxury collectibles, offering collectors an easy way to purchase rare and fine collectibles, paying in full or as a fraction with Cryptocurrencies (USDt Stablecoin)
An interesting and otherwise speculative fact is that the house Altr allows its clients to digitize their existing collections and use them as collateral to obtain liquidity without selling them. Digital proof of ownership, in the form of an NFT, is issued and can be held, traded, guaranteed, or redeemed for the physical item at any time. “
Virtual boutique Altr joined forces with Italian dealer Car & Car to sell high-end vehicles on the platform, and surely the F40 will be the first one to be listed in the “Cars” section on the Altr website and which appears today with the caption “Coming Soon”.
It sounds so good, that surely all this will end in a great fraud, as many cases have been where Crypto currencies are involved.
Let’s not get into financial and virtual money rolls and better Let’s remember a little of what the F40 offered to be classified as the first Super Car in history.
The latest model manufactured under the watchful eye of Enzo Ferrari
Introduced in 1987 as a successor to the 288 GTO, the F40 was produced by Ferrari and only 1,315 units rolled off the assembly line to celebrate the Modena-based automaker’s 40th anniversary and was the last model overseen by the Commander himself.
The engine of the Ferrari F40
It is powered by an engine 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 478 hp and 426 lb-ft combined with a five-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. With these specifications, the Ferrari F40 is capable of reaching 326 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds really high performance if one takes into account that it is a model designed at the end of the eighties.
This is how they got on board, and surely this is how they disembarked the F40 from the bow of the Quinta Essentia
