The Ferrari F40 you've been dreaming about is now for sale!


The iconic Ferrari F40, one of the last true sports cars. The rawness of this car captivated enthusiasts and Ferrari owners alike in 1987. Many still argue that it's the best and most sought-after supercar built to date. Aside from the Lamborghini Countach, the F40 was the most common car to appear on the bedroom walls of aspiring supercar owners.


As the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO, it was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by the great Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car that Ferrari sold to the public.

With 1,311 Ferrari F40s produced in its nine-year run, it's rare to even see one, let alone have the opportunity to buy one.

This special F40, titled and specced for the U.S. market, was brought into Canada by ZR Auto's own Zahir Rana in 1997. The one-owner red beauty, a 1992 model, was one of the last F40s built, making it one of the most mechanically-sound and sought-after models.

From the outside, this incredible Ferrari F40 is distinguishable from the standard American-spec model. With its Euro-spec front-end conversion, magnesium speed line 18” wheels and Michelotto LM-spec rear wing, it certainly stands out from the crowd. Aside from these features, this F40 remains factory pristine.

On the performance side, this F40 has been upgraded to LM-spec by Edo Competition, pushing out nearly 545 hp and 465 lb ft of torque at 29 psi.

Mechanical upgrades include a 2936 cc Twin Turbo 32 valve courtesy of LM-Spec IHI turbos (by Ferrari Motorsports), mapped for 29 psi.

A high-flow stainless Tubi exhaust system, upgraded Tial wastegates and blow-off valves, dry sumped lubrication system,Weber-Marelli upgraded injectors and Tubi exhaust round off the F40's impressive performance package.

On the inside, this rare Ferrari comes with LM-spec seats, complimenting the factory interior.

Sitting on the lightweight Speedline wheels are Hoosier R6 R-compound tires, measuring 13” x 18” 335/30zr18 on the rear and 9“ x18” 245/35 zr18 on the front. 

Providing the stopping power for this road-hungry machine are massive four-piston Brembo vented & cross-drilled brake rotors, measuring 355mm on the front and 355mm on the rear.

 With an asking price of $1.295 Million USD, this one-owner Ferrari F40 is certainly well-priced for the market. With only 15,400 miles on the odometer and an active title, this F40 is certain to impress its next owner.

Also included with the car are the stock 17” Ferrari wheels along with another set of 17" HRE wheels.



The Ferrari F40 has been kept in a heated showroom and has been meticulously serviced since day 1. All service records are available. It had a brand new clutch installed recently, with zero miles on it. This car is absolutely perfect, and ready to go. The car is cleared for worldwide sale, and can be registered anywhere in the world.

Interested parties are asked to contact ZR Auto at sales@zrauto.com.

ECU Tuning at ZR Auto

ECU Tuning might seem like a very basic concept when it comes to modifying cars, but the reality is that an ECU tune is the most cost-effective and efficient way to get maximum power out of your car. Plus we're not technically even adding any expensive hardware to your car. It's all in the ECU map and maximizing the efficiency and settings of your engine.



So why should you consider getting an ECU tune you ask? In less than a few hours, we can tune your car's ECU to produce more power and torque, improve fuel economy, maximize fuel/air ratios and much more.

Did you know that a naturally aspirated engine can normally produce 30-50 hp more from an ECU tune alone?


With our partners, ECU Tuning Group, we can get you impressive proven results that won't break your budget and won't jeopardize your car's mechanical stability. ECU Tuning Group is one of the pioneers of ECU Tuning and supplies software to the likes of RennTech and other high-end tuning brands.

A turbocharged or supercharged car can see up to a 150 hp gain from a simple tune, and we're not even adding any performance parts.



ZR Auto carries software maps for BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Volkswagen and more!

Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe gets some custom upgrades.


What do you get when you cross a brand new Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe with some tasteful mods? You get an absolutely beautiful machine.

A customer from Edmonton brought us his brand new S63 AMG and told us to make it unique, and we did just that.



We began by blacking out all the trim pieces, grille and emblems. We then tinted the windows dark black to give the car a sinister look. Taillight and headlight tinting gave the car some distinct personality. Some black vinyl accents on the car give it some more unique touches.



Next we added an AL Priority radar jammer set to the Mercedes, as well as an Escort radar detector.

Finally we gave this beauty a set of 22" Vossen concave wheels in gunmetal grey to make it a one-of-a-kind street machine.

Exclusive NOVITEC TORADO refinement for the Lamborghini Huracan‏

Sophisticated modifications further sharpen the profile of the Huracan’s front: the production bumper is upgraded with a front spoiler, central blade and side flaps from NOVITEC TORADO. In addition, the company developed a special trunk lid with integrated air duct. Wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that the new aerodynamic-enhancement components reduce lift on the front axle, thereby further improving handling stability at high speeds.

NOVITEC TORADO rocker panels, carbon-fiber mirror covers and new side air intakes on the rear windows that also optimize the air supply to the engine bay elevate the side view of the ten-cylinder rocket to a new exhilarating level.



Of course, the rear end of the Huracan also undergoes extensive revisions: the combination of NOVITEC TORADO rear airfoil and diffuser gives it a racing look and generates maximum downforce on the rear axle. Owners of the two-seat sports car who prefer a more subtle look can opt for a NOVITEC TORADO rear spoiler lip instead. The carbon-fiber rear surround for the taillights fits both variants.

An optimal symbiosis of good looks and efficiency is also available for the hood: two hood scoops shuffle more air to the engine and create an even more exciting appearance.



A tailor-made carbon-fiber cover creates an out-and-out racing atmosphere in the engine bay as well.Of course, the NOVITEC TORADO styling for the Lamborghini also comprises tailor-made high-tech wheel

s: the three-piece NL1 alloys feature five delicate double spokes and are manufactured using state-of-the-art forging technology.



Their staggered combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches emphasizes the wedge shape of the Italian sports car. Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires of size 245/30 ZR 20 on 9Jx20 rims at the front and size 325/25 ZR 21 tires on 12.5Jx21 rims at the rear make optimal use of the available space under the wheel arches. The wheel variant with carbon-coated outer flanges brings out the motor racing flair of the conversion.

The NOVITEC TORADO sports springs, which lower the ride height of the two-seat sports car by about 35 millimeters, are calibrated specifically to this tire/wheel combination. Huracan drivers preferring even sportier damper settings can opt for a height-adjustable coilover suspension that is currently under development.



Of course, there is also virtuoso acoustic tuning for the V10 engine of the Huracan in the form of the NOVITEC TORADO sports exhaust systems, available with or without active sound management by means of a controlled butterfly valve – optionally even at the push of a button in the cockpit. The high-performance exhaust systems are made from stainless steel or from the even lighter INCONEL, a material used in Formula 1 racing.



Consequently, the NOVITEC TORADO high-performance exhaust systems not only deliver an optimized power delivery, but also offer weight savings over the production system. In addition, the company also offers lighter and more efficient sports catalysts.



It goes without saying that NOVITEC TORADO also fulfills individual customer requests when it comes to designing the interior. Every inch of the finest leather and Alcantara in any desired color is finished with meticulous precision.

Ferrari California T by Novitec Rosso

NOVITEC ROSSO tuning for the new Ferrari California T An extra 63.3 kW / 86 hp, 323 km/h and sporty accessories. Engine tuning to deliver an additional 63.3 kW / 86 hp that give the two-seat car a top speed of 323 km/h, and a wide range of sporty options for the bodywork, suspension and interior: NOVITEC ROSSO, the leading global refinement specialist for the sports cars from Maranello, now also offers tuning for the new Ferrari California T. The new 3.8-liter eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine provides the perfect starting point for powerful tuning.



The NOVITEC ROSSO engine technicians developed a new performance kit for the California T that unleashes the hidden reserves of this engine without compromising its durability. Extensive series of tests were conducted to develop special mapping for the two NOVITEC ROSSO N-TRONIC plug-and-play modules, which are adapted to the electronic engine management system of the vehicle. As a result, the tuned V8 develops an impressive 475 kW / 646 hp at a low 7,400 rpm and produces its peak torque of 856 Nm at a low 4,600 rpm - 101 Nm more than the stock engine!



Performance on the road benefits accordingly: the tuned two-seater sprints to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Top speed jumps to 323 km/h. On the road, the NOVITEC ROSSO power upgrade not only delivers better performance, but also even more instantaneous throttle response and even more in-gear pulling power. As the perfect complement to the engine tuning, NOVITEC ROSSO sells various versions of precisely calibrated stainless-steel high-performance exhaust systems for the new Ferrari California T. The version offering sound management by means of actively controlled butterfly valve is available with the NOVITEC ROSSO SWITCHTRONIC feature, which allows regulating the sound between subtly quiet and powerfully sporty by radio remote from inside the cockpit. In addition to more power, NOVITEC ROSSO of course also offers refinement options for the bodywork, suspension and cockpit.



The appearance of the two-seater is upgraded with a sporty-elegant aerodynamic-enhancement kit, which is optionally available with a clear-coated carbon-fiber finish. The shape of the NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler was optimized in the wind tunnel and lends the front-engine sports car an even more dynamic profile. What's more: its sophisticated design also reduces lift on the front axle, which in turn optimizes directional stability at high speeds.



Tailor-made inserts for the two air intakes in the hood also lend the California T a further sharpened profile, as do the gill-shaped covers for the side air outlets in the front fenders and the clear-coated carbon-fiber covers for the two exterior mirrors. In addition, there is also a carbon-fiber radiator grille. The sides of the sports car receive some added dynamic lines with the NOVITEC ROSSO rocker panels and side flaps. These aerodynamic-enhancement components also improve the airflow between the front and rear wheel arches. NOVITEC ROSSO offers a clear-coated carbon-fiber roof skin for the folding hardtop of the California T.

NOVITEC ROSSO offers full-blooded motor racing looks with the rear diffuser and the clear-coated carbon-fiber diffuser fins as well. The NOVITEC ROSSO rear spoiler lip upgrades the rear appearance and minimizes lift on the rear axle. A carbon-fiber rear trim panel as well as clear-coated carbon-fiber covers for the tail lamps round out the sporty looks for the Ferrari California T. The NOVITEC ROSSO staggered alloys with diameters of 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear look stunning and enhance the driving dynamics even further. In sizes 9Jx21 at the front and 12Jx22 on the rear axle, the one-piece and especially lightweight NF4 high-tech forged wheels with five double spokes put even more emphasis on the wedge shape of the sports car. Technology partner Pirelli supplies high-performance tires specifically tailored to this vehicle. They are mounted on the front axle in size 255/30 ZR 21. Tires of size 315/25 ZR 22 at the rear provide optimal grip.

The NOVITEC ROSSO sports springs, which lower the ride height of the Ferrari by about 35 millimeters, were designed specifically for this tire/wheel combination. In addition, the suspension specialists developed a feature that makes the California T even better suited for everyday use. The hydraulic front lift system makes it possible to raise the front end by 40 millimeters from inside the cockpit. As a result, entrance ramps of underground parking garages or speed humps are easier to navigate. By slightly pressing the button, or automatically upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the front end reverts to its original position. The personal requests of every owner of a Ferrari California T with regard to the interior can also be made reality. Exclusive NOVITEC ROSSO interior appointments crafted from the finest leather and Alcantara captivate with their perfect craftsmanship and the multitude of available upholstery colors and patterns.


This Novitec Rosso tuning package for the California T is now available at ZR Auto!
