Japanese entrepreneur Takeshi Kimura, known for founding the CarGuy racing team, grabs attention for using his Ferrari F40 worth around $2.89 million in unusual ways.

Passionate about the model, he has taken the supercar camping in Japan’s forests, with a tent tied to the roof, and without any support crew. Photos from this adventure, taken in 2014, went viral again years later, reinforcing Kimura’s reputation as someone who doesn’t stick to the traditional use of luxury cars.

In addition to camping, Kimura put his Ferrari F40 to the test in another unusual scenario: the snow. In 2016, he took part in a Red Bull project that involved driving the sports car at a ski resort in Japan. For this feat, the car received modifications such as rally lights, tire chains, and even a roof rack. Despite some scratches, Kimura stated that he prefers to enjoy the car rather than just keep it in a garage.

The Ferrari F40, produced from 1988 to 1993, is considered one of the brand’s most iconic models. Equipped with a 2.9-liter V8 twin-turbo engine producing 478 hp, it was the first Ferrari to surpass 320 km/h. With only 1,400 units produced, the car stands out for its aggressive look, including a massive rear wing.

Even after all the adventures, the model is still used in Kimura’s daily life, as shown on his Instagram, alongside other classics like a Porsche 964 Carrera RS3.8.
