1 / 8
Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 wears the #40 Jabouille/Grouillard Art Sports racing livery, bringing Maranello's 1987 twin-turbo supercar to the grid in competition dress. The F40, built to mark Ferrari's fortieth anniversary and homologated for GT racing, suits this mass-market diecast treatment well: recognisable wedge silhouette, period sponsor graphics, and an accessible price point for anyone building a supercar or motorsport livery shelf.

About the Ferrari F40 #40 J-P. Jabouille / O. Grouillard Art Sports 1987 Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 reproduces the #40 Jabouille/Grouillard Art Sports racing livery from 1987, the year Ferrari's twin-turbo supercar arrived homologated for GT competition. Mass-market diecast construction keeps the price accessible while capturing the F40's wedge profile and period sponsor graphics for a themed motorsport display.

Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Olivier Grouillard both raced in Formula 1 before moving into GT competition, and this livery puts their names on one of Ferrari's most extreme road-derived racers. Bburago's diecast brings that competition dress within easy reach.

Bburago's Diecast Approach to the F40

The zinc alloy body gives this F40 real heft in the hand, the kind of density plastic toys never manage, and Bburago's 1:18 line typically includes opening doors so the cabin and rear engine cover can be shown to visitors. Panel gaps run wider than a hand-built resin piece would allow, and the graphics are screen printed rather than hand-painted layer by layer, which is exactly what keeps the price accessible. Where a resin specialist would price a similar racing scheme at a premium tier, Bburago's diecast construction opens the same #40 graphic package to a far broader shelf budget. The wedge-shaped bonnet, the NACA ducts, and the rear wing carry over cleanly even at mass-market tooling quality, and the livery reads well from typical display distance. It is not a museum piece, and it does not pretend to be one; it is a recognisable, well-priced way to own the F40's shape in racing dress.

The F40's Route into GT Competition

Ferrari built the F40 in 1987 to mark the company's fortieth anniversary, wrapping a twin-turbocharged V8 in a composite body designed purely around speed and minimal weight. The road car's homologation opened the door to competition variants, and F40s soon appeared in European GT racing through the late 1980s and into the following decade. Both Jabouille and Grouillard had spent seasons in Formula 1 before this campaign, a career path several grand prix drivers followed once single-seater seats grew scarce. The #40 Art Sports entry this diecast recreates reflects that period, when former F1 names brought their racing craft to GT grids in cars like the F40.

Building a Supercar or Motorsport Shelf

Placed among road-going Ferraris, this F40 stands out as the one wearing a number and sponsor decals rather than factory paint, a useful contrast piece for a display that mixes street cars with racing history. At 1:18 it holds real shelf presence without the price of a limited resin run.
