Ferrari F40 Tribute – 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT Donor – IFG Body – V8 / 5-Speed
This vehicle is a Ferrari F40 tribute constructed using a 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT donor chassis, VIN 1G2PF119XHP238364, and fitted with a period International Fiberglass (IFG) F40-style body produced in Southern California in the late 1980s to early 1990s.
The Pontiac Fiero's mid-engine layout, space-frame construction, and removable body panels made it a popular and effective platform for F40 tributes of this era, resulting in a dramatic and visually striking exotic-inspired vehicle.
Body & Exterior
IFG (International Fiberglass) Ferrari F40–style body
Period-correct late-'80s / early-'90s conversion
F40-inspired front and rear fascias, rocker panels, side strakes, and rear wing
Retains stock Fiero windshield and door structure, as typical of IFG kits
Aggressive wide-body stance with unmistakable F40 profile
This is a tribute vehicle, not a replica or Ferrari-manufactured automobile, and is represented accurately as such.
Drivetrain & Performance
Power is provided by a high-performance built V8, believed to be a Chevrolet 350 cubic inch small-block, equipped with dual quad carburetors. Output has been estimated at 400+ horsepower, offering a significant increase over the original Fiero powertrain and delivering the sound and presence expected from a car of this style.
