I'm an happy F40 owner from '90, and looking at that data the european F40 should be faster than this. My Vbox 60-130 mph was less the 8 seconds and could be closer to half 7 seconds in winter. Remember that the F40 was underestimate in power, rumors claimed to be usually around 520 hp for engines not equipped of catalyst system.
I DON'T THINK THE YELLOW F40 ON THE VIDEO WAS 600 HP RATED, IT SEEMS TO BE STOCK. A 600 HP F40 RUN IN TO THE MECCA'S REGION.

It wasn't Ferrari's first turbo road car, they built the 288GTO (worth a lot more than an F40) the 208 GTB/GTS Turbo, the 328 GTBGTS Turbo. Ferrari had plenty of experience with turbo charged engines.

NIGEL MANSELL'S FERRARI F40 TAKES POLE POSITION AT BONHAMS 3.8 MILLION EURO BELGIAN SALE
10 Oct 2014, The Zoute Sale
- Bonhams achieve Zoute sale record with €3.8 million total (£2.9 million)
- Top lot a 1989 Ferrari F40 formerly owned by 1992 F1 World Champion Nigel Mansell achieves €690,000 (£543,375)

Showcasing the best in European motoring, the Bonhams annual Zoute auction achieved a record €3.8 million.
Set in the picturesque and exclusive Belgian seaside resort of Knokke-Le-Zoute, the sale was held alongside the Zoute Grand Prix Rally and the Zoute Concours d'Elegance, and attracted a strong audience turnout with some keen bidding.
Philip Kantor, Head of the Continental European Motoring department, said: "We've enjoyed another great sale at Zoute, achieving nearly double last year's total. Ferraris continue to excel, taking pole position as top lot, with Nigel Mansell's F40 achieving €690,000 (£543,375) to a telephone bidder, and a 1972 Ferrari 365GTC/4 Berlinetta selling at €287,500 (£226,406).
"Offering an eclectic selection from the best of European classic motoring, the Zoute auction attracts international interest with clients from across the globe bidding - wonderful for a sale in only its second year."
Getting the sale off to an excellent start, a 1978 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza child's car surprised bidders and specialists alike, surpassing all expectations of its €2,000-4,000 estimate and selling for an incredible €31,625 (£24,905).
A brace of Bentleys added British luxury engineering to the event, with a 1987 Bentley Continental Convertible selling far above estimate at €98,900 (£77,883), and from the T-Series, a 1970 Bentley T1 sold for €17,250 (£13,584).
In Maserati's centenary year, the auction featured two of its classic models from the late 1960s. The Maserati Sebring 3700 Coupé achieved a comfortable €193,200 (£152,145), and the Maserati Mexico 4.7-Litre Coupé exceeded expectations, selling for €86,250 (£67,921).
Further sale highlights include a striking Zagato-bodied 1965 Flaminia Super Sport 2.8-Litre 3C 'Double Bubble' Coupé, at €299,000 (£235,462); a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine selling above estimate at €178,250 (£140,371); and one of the all-time great sports cars, a 1961 Porsche 356 1600 Cabriolet realising €172,500 (£135,843).

Still today this car accelerate so close than the F12 region even being made 27 years ago. Times are only interrupted by longer manual gearshifts. I said on Supercars.net forum long time ago this car performance was incredible. I was almost stoned by members at that time when I compared it with the Enzo. LOL. The F40 was able to ran at the side of the Enzo for a long distance (even confirmed by Vbox).
Like many other cases time gives me reason. And the number of times that it appears on magazines still today by comparison or just as icon is still a confirmation.
