The Gas Monkey Garage Ferrari F40 Build Controversy - How Richard Rawlings defied Ferrari

#FastNLoud Here’s how far Ferrari was willing to go to stop the Gas Monkey Garage F40 build. Fortunately, Richard Rawlings and the Gas Monkey team didn&let that stop them from making one of the best Fast N&builds on the history of the show. It&no secret that Ferrari doesn&like people messing with its cars. Even exterior modifications can land owners in trouble, and we&talking something as simple as wrap jobs that Ferrari thinks isn&"tasteful" or goes against the spirit of the company. Mechanical mods are a whole different can of worms. So when Richard Rawlings got his hands on a Ferrari F40 for a Gas Monkey build, you can imagine how badly the Italians wanted the build to stop. Rawlings, from Gas Monkey Garage, was one of the investors of the black 1991 Ferrari F40 from Fast N’ Loud, where it became one of the most famous rebuilt analogue supercars in recent times. With help from Aaron Kaufman and Dennis Collins, and some very skilled Ferrari experts, they restored what was a totaled F40 in red, after having bought it for a whopping $400,000. Getting the car back into shape with some modern mechanicals took the cost up further to $695,000. A wrecked icon it may have been, but the guys at Gas Monkey couldn’t resist picking up. According to Rawlings, he built a lighter, meaner and faster F40, and he seems darn proud of it. While it was painted black, some of the original red paint remained from the wrecked car. However, painting it black did trigger a lot of debate. Video...
