     Comments    

This F40 was especially made for Agnelli. This car is fitted with a Valeo electronic clutch system which had been developed and proven in the Lancia Delta Integrale rally cars, as well as a few Mondial cabriolets and coupes. Agnelli’s left leg had been weakened in a road accident and the system takes away the need for a clutch pedal. Valeo uses the normal gear lever which, when moved, sends signals to a master control unit and then to the clutch actuator motor which engages or disengages the clutch in less than 100 milliseconds. Built-in safety features stop the car being started in gear and prevent the driver selecting too high a gear or too low.

Other personal touches to this Agnelli F40 are the spun aluminium gear knob, a cigarette lighter and the owner’s leather document pouch, which is embossed with the initials “G.A.” Inside, the seats are trimmed with black cloth, with a red lumbar support on the driver’s seat. The master control unit of the Valeo system is mounted on the firewall behind the passenger seat above the Ferrari engine management unit.
