Probably my favourite supercar....

It's often overlooked in the Ferrari lineup, and also overshadowed by the McLaren F1, which makes it even cooler. Plus, there's nothing like hearing that V12 screaming all the way up to 8500 rpms.


Definitely subzero. 8)

this car was the first car i ever loved! the first time i saw a picture of it... i dont doubt similar to how people years earlier couldnt resist the F40.
this is a ferrari worthy of the Tifosi. Sub Zero!

everything about this car is perfect, even though i've never been in the presence of one the sound, the look, the performance, the powerplant... a great liniage of racing V12's in it! (and somehow, including the successful 333 sp

this is the ferrari that made me love ferrari!

A v12 bolted to the chassis.... i'm sorry, but thats hardcore for a road car, and so sub zero is my vote. 8)

A black one is always cooler, but the car is so underrated that it is even cooler for that fact.

Sub-zero for me

Not the prettiest Ferrari but it has honest F1 technology, is raw and basic on the inside, has the coolest speedometer, is a manual for the love of god!

Sub-zero, but if I could give it a little fridge like TG did for the DB9 I"d do it

There really isn't anything I dislike about the car, except for the fact that it's not in my garage.

After hearing what the F50 GT1 sounds like, it makes the F50 road car seem like a pussy cat, so i couldn't just give it a sub-zero rating, deffinately cool though.

Just kiding, I can see where you come from. I mean, it's not easy to be the F40's successor... I guess people were expecting something different, maybe closer to the F40, but personaly I'm happy that didn't happen. It's a very special car, in many ways. Probably the last Ferrari supercar to have a manual gearbox, and also has a very unique construction, that can no longer be repeated, sadly. And there must be a reason why they're selling at $ 600K and more now, and it's not because it's rubish, that's for sure.
