this is a marque which divides most ppl, it's either you love it, or you don't. But mostly everyone loves it anyway. So what is about Ferrari that made you fall in love with it?


For me..it is definately the cars. Or one car in particular...the F40..i was six years old when i found out about ferraris and the F40 changed my life.

It just has to be the fact that its Ferrari!

That means the prancing horse, the spectacular styling and that famous Ferrari engine sound! :D

they are shit cars...they're noisy, afraid to take it out, insurance is high and unreliable. i'll stick to my toyota thanks :P

at first i didn't really like them until my uncle showed me their history. instanlty i fell in love with their old classic cars. i also loved enzo's different approach about marketing cars. he built road cars to support racing whilst every other manufacturer did the opposite.

He didn't market them at all. He loathed his customers. It was a necessary evil to get the cash to fund his real passion: motor racing. I guess that's the 'ferrari mystique'.

Its a mix of things , but i remember as a kid asking my dad about those red cars i saw in the magazines , then he buyed me several models , remote controlled and scale models , i was a kid so i wrecked them , now i grew up and i still love that name over other manufacturers , but like all .... we all passed for loving more Lamborghini when we saw the countach ....

Ferrari is a synonym for a racing or a sports car. At least it was so pretty much in soviet union. Whn i was a kid, I heard father saying that ferrari - thats one mean sporstsvcar... children were grown up in such belief. :) Love ferrari, but love almost every other fucking supercar as well..

I am also a fan of the F40 but i discover the F50 under a new angle with Best Motoring : what a sound and what a car, i think it was mis-understood when launched and not estimated at its true value :)

Why I love Ferrari? Ferrari is a perfection. Their cars have the performance that few can match, their cars have beauty, their cars have sound, and most of all they have soul like no other manufacturer on the planet. Ferrar is perfection on wheels. They have the richest competition history like no other....the list goes on.

Ferrari is pefection on wheels.

Italian pride. Being Italians, my friends and I always dreamed of owning Ferraris or Lamborginis. I quickly decided I liked Ferraris a lot better. And then I found the 355. and then I found the 360. and now im here...:)

Who doesn't love Ferrari!? My dad and my brother really got me into it when I was about 10. My brother had a huge Ferrari flag on his wall and he had a bunch of books that I read (well looked at the pics at least). Later on, my dad and I started going to car shows, and I always wanted to go see the ferraris. Best things are what everyone else has already said...Cars, Sound, Racing, and to add two more, the visible mid mounted engines and Rossa Corsa Red!

why a ferrari?

It's the haunting spectre of Enzo's ghost!!!!!!!!
Ectoplasmic power!!!!!!!!!

....no...

the cavallino...the glamour of F1 team...the past's Le Mans...Pininfarina...
Yep! Pininfarina bodywork. except for last couple of years...Ken Okuyama...Enzo, 612S... It seems as if Ferrari's trying to pull off a BMW...
