Everyone and @Dizono want a Ferrari F40. But which of these two alternatives is the coolest?
The end of the 80s came to Ferrari with the F40. Unlike the F50, Enzo and Ritz-was this just a production model. During this period there were many manufacturers that the F40 wanted to beat. Many came and went, but the F40 remained a favorite because of the performance and sensations. Now, we would like a stage show the two alternatives that might be cooler. Below is an overview to see how the proportions are:

Bugatti EB110 GT:
Romano Artioli was a successful Ferrari dealer and Suzuki importer. At the end of years ’80, he creates the trademark rights of Bugatti. His first feat of arms is the EB110, this car is introduced on the day that Ettore Bugatti exactly 110 years earlier born. His second achievement is the purchase of Lotus. Under his reign the British brand with a small sports car, the Elise, which is named after his granddaughter.
The EB110 was a technological masterpiece. Not only the performances were special, but the refinement was that also. The EB110 is praised by the press and seems to be a golden future. However, a financial crisis causes a huge decrease in the demand for supercars. It was McLaren with the transcendent F1. Finally, there are 139 (SS them counted) of built. Later the car would still be reincarnated as Edonis (probably 6), Dauer (13 pieces) and even Brabus has is interfered
Cizetta V16T:
Not many miles away, happened around the same time the same. Designer Claudio Zampoli, musician Giorgio Moroder and what ex-employees of Lamborghini to embark on a very ambitious plan. The Cizetta V16T had a motor which consisted of two flat-plane V8’s from the Lambo Urracco. The block was in front!) placed partly responsible for the huge width. The design was also a fun: this was the Marcelo Gandini to design the successor of the Countach. Chrysler had Lamborghini just taken over and found it to be way too risky, so they went with a toned down design (later the Diablo would be). Zampoli changed the rear lights, and that was the V16T. Moroder was responsible for not only the music from the film ‘Scarface’, but also the design of the logo. And probably the dumping of several thousands of lira.
Before the production began stepped the muziekpionier from the project and his name was removed. Ultimately, it was not really a great success. Also the Cizeta V16T would incarnate. After the bankruptcy vertok Zampoli to the US, there is a garage to open specialized in maintenance of exotic sports cars. But if you have enough money for takes, he wants to have a V16 for you to build. To date, that three times happened: 2 coupe and one roadster, Venice TTJ Spyder called.
It is now up to you: which of the two F40 alternatives you prefer and why?
