The Ferrari F40 you've been dreaming about is now for sale!


The iconic Ferrari F40, one of the last true sports cars. The rawness of this car captivated enthusiasts and Ferrari owners alike in 1987. Many still argue that it's the best and most sought-after supercar built to date. Aside from the Lamborghini Countach, the F40 was the most common car to appear on the bedroom walls of aspiring supercar owners.


As the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO, it was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by the great Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car that Ferrari sold to the public.

With 1,311 Ferrari F40s produced in its nine-year run, it's rare to even see one, let alone have the opportunity to buy one.

This special F40, titled and specced for the U.S. market, was brought into Canada by ZR Auto's own Zahir Rana in 1997. The one-owner red beauty, a 1992 model, was one of the last F40s built, making it one of the most mechanically-sound and sought-after models.

From the outside, this incredible Ferrari F40 is distinguishable from the standard American-spec model. With its Euro-spec front-end conversion, magnesium speed line 18” wheels and Michelotto LM-spec rear wing, it certainly stands out from the crowd. Aside from these features, this F40 remains factory pristine.

On the performance side, this F40 has been upgraded to LM-spec by Edo Competition, pushing out nearly 545 hp and 465 lb ft of torque at 29 psi.

Mechanical upgrades include a 2936 cc Twin Turbo 32 valve courtesy of LM-Spec IHI turbos (by Ferrari Motorsports), mapped for 29 psi.

A high-flow stainless Tubi exhaust system, upgraded Tial wastegates and blow-off valves, dry sumped lubrication system,Weber-Marelli upgraded injectors and Tubi exhaust round off the F40's impressive performance package.

On the inside, this rare Ferrari comes with LM-spec seats, complimenting the factory interior.

Sitting on the lightweight Speedline wheels are Hoosier R6 R-compound tires, measuring 13” x 18” 335/30zr18 on the rear and 9“ x18” 245/35 zr18 on the front. 

Providing the stopping power for this road-hungry machine are massive four-piston Brembo vented & cross-drilled brake rotors, measuring 355mm on the front and 355mm on the rear.

 With an asking price of $1.295 Million USD, this one-owner Ferrari F40 is certainly well-priced for the market. With only 15,400 miles on the odometer and an active title, this F40 is certain to impress its next owner.

Also included with the car are the stock 17” Ferrari wheels along with another set of 17" HRE wheels.



The Ferrari F40 has been kept in a heated showroom and has been meticulously serviced since day 1. All service records are available. It had a brand new clutch installed recently, with zero miles on it. This car is absolutely perfect, and ready to go. The car is cleared for worldwide sale, and can be registered anywhere in the world.

Interested parties are asked to contact ZR Auto at sales@zrauto.com.

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) at ZR Auto























Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a new service we're offering at ZR Auto. We've had so many requests over the years that we've decided to do the PDR process in-house to get rid of those nasty dents.

Let's face it, nobody is safe from dents. It's an unfortunate reality, but we have to deal with it. Parking lots, shopping carts, hail, rock kickback from that semi truck you're trying to pass, there's infitite ways that dent or ding could have happened, but there's one place you're guaranteed to have the dent removed right. There's various ways to remove dents, but we prefer to use Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) because it's the most effective and most economical method for getting your car dent free!























Our trained PDR team can take care of your dents and make your paint smooth once again. PDR uses a process that doesn't involve repainting your car or doing any procedures to hide the imperfections. We simply pull out the dents and give you that clean, flush look once again.

The extent to which the PDR will be effective depends on multiple factors: if the metal has been stretched by the damage, the cuvature or flatness where the damage occurred and the intensity of the impact.

Generally speaking, the shallower the dent, the greater the likelihood of paintless dent repair being a suitable option. Even dents several inches in diameter can be repaired by this method as long as the metal and paint are not stretched. Our experienced technicians can repair shallow, large or crease dents.

Come by ZR Auto and allow us to inspect your damage to see if PDR is right for you.

So why should you consider getting an ECU tune you ask? In less than a few hours, we can tune your car's ECU to produce more power and torque, improve fuel economy, maximize fuel/air ratios and much more.

Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe gets some custom upgrades.


What do you get when you cross a brand new Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe with some tasteful mods? You get an absolutely beautiful machine.

A customer from Edmonton brought us his brand new S63 AMG and told us to make it unique, and we did just that.



We began by blacking out all the trim pieces, grille and emblems. We then tinted the windows dark black to give the car a sinister look. Taillight and headlight tinting gave the car some distinct personality. Some black vinyl accents on the car give it some more unique touches.



Next we added an AL Priority radar jammer set to the Mercedes, as well as an Escort radar detector.

Finally we gave this beauty a set of 22" Vossen concave wheels in gunmetal grey to make it a one-of-a-kind street machine.
