About the Ferrari F40 PPG Auto Refinish Red Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 wears PPG Auto Refinish red livery, a promotional paint scheme tied to PPG's motorsport pace car sponsorship of the 1980s. Diecast construction brings the F40's wedge-shaped bodywork to the shelf at entry-level pricing, a factory-special variant.

Most F40 replicas wear the familiar Rosso Corsa the road car left the factory in. This one carries sponsor branding instead, a nod to PPG's pace car programme that put exotic machinery in the spotlight at 1980s motorsport events.

Bburago's Diecast Take on a Branded F40 Livery

The PPG graphics are applied by tampo printing rather than decal, which keeps the branding flush against the F40's wedge-shaped Pininfarina bodywork instead of sitting proud of it, a small but important detail on a car whose surfaces are otherwise so clean. Doors open on simple diecast hinges, standard for Bburago's entry tier, and the panel gaps run a touch wider than a sealed resin body would manage on the F40's sharply creased lines. The zinc alloy build gives the model real weight for its size, and the pop-up headlights and rear wing, two of the F40's most recognisable details, come through with enough definition to read as unmistakably Ferrari even under a non-standard paint job. It's an accessible way to own a livery variant that most other manufacturers never touch.

PPG's Motorsport Sponsorship and the F40's Wider Appeal

PPG Industries built a visible motorsport presence through the 1980s, sponsoring pace car programmes that put exotic machinery, Ferraris among them, in front of race weekend crowds wearing bold, branded liveries rather than factory colours. The F40 itself needed no help drawing attention: Ferrari's first true modern supercar, built around a twin-turbocharged V8 and stripped-down construction, it defined the flagship-supercar template for a generation. A branded livery like this one sits comfortably as a curiosity piece in a Ferrari factory-specials display, a reminder that even Ferrari's most famous road cars sometimes did promotional duty far from their standard specification.
