From what I can gather the original illustration was based on a real physical cutaway prototype Ferrari F40 from around 1987.
If that is true, then what is visible or not is down to Ferrari themselves. Maybe they were keeping it secret at the time?
- pengaru 3y agoWhere does it say at your linked thread that it's drawn from a real physical cutaway prototype? I only see debate as to which features in the illustration correspond to which prototype/market etc. They're basically trying to fit it to a specific variant. The article [0] linked by TFA says this: > The original was the culmination of David Kimble’s six-month tenure at the Ferrari > plant combing through technical drawings, specs and other design materials. Which leaves me with the impression that David Kimble had substantial creative license in producing the illustration... It seems silly to think Ferrari would be hiding the turbocharger internals... the illustration clearly shows turbocharger systems like intercooler, wastegate, all the plumbing, and glimpses of the turbo housings. Just no compressor or turbine wheels, mildly disappointing omission of detail in what should be a highlight of the F40.

- msephton 3y agoQuite correct, I assumed too much about what Kimble was drawing from whilst at Ferrari. I stand corrected!
