Ferrari 640 (F1-89) name pronunciation

Post

Not the typical question about a car, but how do people (or Italian people, even) pronounce the name of 640?

To me it's six-forty but in English we will often just choose the most easiest to pronounce version, which might not be the same in Italian or any other language. Do the Italians say seicento or otherwise?

Feel free to steer this thread towards other F1 cars too if you wish.

six-hundred-forty / seicento-quaranta

and because it's Italian, you refer to the vehicle as 'the'; la seicento-quaranta :)

Thanks!
I was disappointed that this car didn't feature at the museum in Maranello. In fact all F1 was under-represented at the museum, I think.
