Okay let's split this into few distinct categories:

First and foremost, almost all ferraris are beauties in one form or another (yes that includes the non-pinifarina and giugario designo ones..)

Secondly, it's one thing to look good, it must also drive good as well. So on these accounts my lists goes something like this.



My 355 Spider (duh)

360 Challenge Stradale in Rosso Scuderia with the italian stripes in full racing spec with four point harness

Ferrari Enzo in Nero with Red interior and a dash of tan leather here and there, why the enzo? Because i do think it's a beaut and it's good to see ferrari branching out every now and again

The 250 GTO Evoluzione; primarily because it's rare and it's also such a gem to look at

And finally...

The F40 LM, it may be spartan inside, but it's far from soft on the outside.



I've been in the 360 CS and the Enzo, and if i had the money right now, there's no other car i would rather have than these two. Ferraris are a passion, and you can't just buy one because it has rave reviews or that it drives as easily as a ford focus. You don't get luggage room, you can only seat 2 (unless you count the 2+2 variants), and it costs a bomb to run.You buy it in spite of it's niggling atrributes, because it's not just a car, it's a hobby and one which keeps you smiling even though the sun's not shining or the weather's too cold outside. People wave when they see you in the car, little kids start shouting and giggling when the cars past them by. No matter how bad you feel or how tired the day has been to you, Just turn the key and let the engine note rumble it's way into your heart; then you'll have understood why ferraris have been around for so long.

um... I agree, just throw in 308GTS and 355 and Daytona. Oh and one of those 348 Cup cars. Oh yeah, and some of those turbo F1 cars.

Oh, wait, what about the FIA GT F40 racers?

Oh and...

I like the body of the 360, but I like the pop up lights of the 355 more.

I think you're right the 288 GTO Evoluzione. The predecessor to the F40. Sorry my bad.

In the beauty department I choose either the 250 GT California Spyder
or the 250 GTO, I can't decide which one looks better. In the shock and awe
department there is only one choice, the F40. In the technology department
I'd pick the Enzo. My favorite Ferrari over all is the F40, it has just always
excited me in a way that few other cars short of a Lamborghini Countach
could have.

For me, I just love the F40, and the 288 GTE Evoluzione, followed by the F50, but that was only after seeing that car in person.

PLEASE READ THIS POEM, i spent about 2 hours on it, reply if its good or bad, i wont be offended by your comment
If you want to hear sweet music, then attend a concert or purchase a Jaguar
If you want to sit out in the heat in comfort, then find a a restaraunt or puchase a Mercedes
If you have fear of locking you brakes, then you shouldnt be driving a stallion-buy a Porsche
But... If you want to stop breathing in 3.8 seconds, If you want your stomach to drop to your seat and your heart to leap into your throat, If you want a machine to give back what you gave to it and then ask for more, If you want to feel the passion of a single mans heart, then my good man, you purchas Ferrari.
