Original - One of 1,315 Ferrari F40s produced between 1987 and 1992. It was the first production car to reach 200 mph (320 km/h).
Reason
It's quite unusual to have a good "moving" shot of a car that's in focus, especially one as nice as this (you can even read the brake calipers). Has good encyclopedic value, showing the whole car in profile without shadows and without anything to distract alongside it. The image is used to illustrate the article about the car in the infobox. I don't think we have many car featured pictures, and it gained support at its peer review.

  • Support Wonderful image. Indeed we could use more FPs of cars. The background could be better, but it doesn't detract too much imo. Jujutacular talk 01:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Was this taken from another car or using one of those camera boom rigs? If it was the latter we need a retouched tag. JJ Harrison (talk) 02:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The uploader hasn't edited since 2009, but there is a "Will Ainsworth" on Flickr who is likely the uploader ([1]). I sent them a message there, hopefully they will drop by. My guess is that this was taken from another car. Jujutacular talk 13:18, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Just FYI, I ran a tineye search on the image: [2] and got 5 hits, but they were all lower quality so this is very likely the original. Jujutacular talk 13:18, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
