I think people use these to collect the shopping in Mayfair!

Here is a bit of information about the one we spotted in Mayfair (not taxed or MOT’d either we might add)..

The Lamborghini Huracan is a true masterpiece of Italian supercar engineering, showcasing the brand’s dedication to delivering unparalleled performance and breath taking aesthetics.

Beneath the bonnet of the Huracan, you’ll find a formidable 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces an impressive 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse is paired with a lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and achieving a top speed of 202 mph, highlighting its exceptional speed capabilities.

What sets the Huracan apart is its remarkable handling. The all-wheel-drive system ensures excellent traction, providing confidence and stability even during high-speed cornering. The advanced suspension system offers various driving modes, allowing you to switch between a comfortable cruising experience and a track-ready performance.

The interior of the Huracan is a blend of luxury and performance, featuring high-quality materials, cutting-edge technology, and a driver-focused cockpit. The infotainment system includes a large touchscreen display, seamless smartphone integration, and a reliable navigation system, offering both convenience and entertainment.

Design-wise, the Huracan is a true work of art. Its low, aggressive stance, iconic Y-shaped LED headlights, and sharply defined body lines turn heads wherever it goes. The signature scissor doors open upwards, adding a touch of drama to every entrance and exit.

The Lamborghini Huracan remains a symbol of the brand’s commitment to delivering an exhilarating driving experience and a visual masterpiece, making it a dream car for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

While out car spotting in Mayfair we came across this beauty! I don’t know who left this F40 on a London street but I bet he/she doesn’t iron their own shirts!

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car that was produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992¹. It was designed to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari¹². The “F” in the name stands for Ferrari, while “40” represents the 40th anniversary of the company¹². The F40 was built as a race car for the road, with a tubular steel space-frame chassis and bonded kevlar panels³. It was also Ferrari’s fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car for sale at the time¹.

The F40 is a rare and highly sought-after vehicle. According to PistonHeads, there are currently only three Ferrari F40s available for purchase in the UK from trade and private sellers ¹. The prices of these cars range from £2,200,000 to an unknown amount ¹. AutoTrader UK has two used Ferrari F40s available for purchase ².

The F40 is a classic supercar that has been featured in numerous films and video games. It has a top speed of 201 mph (324 km/h) and can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 3.8 seconds³. The car’s full-width wing was considered “the ultimate 80s power statement” and only 1,311 were made ⁴.

In April 2023, a Ferrari F40 worth over £1 million was seized by police in Lowestoft, Suffolk because it was being driven without insurance ⁵. The driver of the car was reported for having no insurance and had to pay a £150 recovery fee and daily storage costs until they collected it ⁵.

In conclusion, the Ferrari F40 is an iconic supercar that has become synonymous with speed, power, and luxury. It is a rare vehicle that is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Although it is no longer in production, it remains one of the most recognizable cars in the world.
