Ferrari F1/86

F1/86 in brief

F1/86 — the Ferrari 1986 Formula 1 car driven by Michele Alboreto and Stefan Johansson. This was the turbo era, when Formula 1 engines had just 1.5 litres of displacement but, with turbochargers, produced hundreds of horsepower.

This isn't a road car, so it rarely appears on the market and usually belongs to museums, Ferrari collections, or private collectors.

The season context

Ferrari didn't win any races in 1986 — other teams dominated. Nevertheless, the F1/86 is an important chapter in Ferrari history, showing how the team prepared for future years.

Collectors should pay attention to the specific chassis number, its use in races, and documented history. Different examples can have vastly different values.

Engine and technology

The car was powered by a 1.5-litre V6 engine with a turbocharger. In racing mode, its power exceeded 800 hp, a remarkable figure even for that era of Formula 1.

The gearbox is manual, and the chassis is a composite monocoque. Such cars require specialist maintenance and many rare parts.

What to know before buying

The F1/86 is not your average used car: such purchases usually happen through Ferrari specialists or auctions, and each car must have a documented history.

Moreover, you need to consider the condition of the engine and gearbox, as well as the availability of spare parts. These cars require specialists, and maintenance is expensive.

Trim levels

Names and equipment vary by market and year; we list the versions most commonly found in Europe.
