Which is your favorite Ferrari?

[tastybasslines]

There are so many iconic models. If I had to pick one, it would be below. The sharktooth grills look bad ass and the whole car just looks both mean and elegant at the same time.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta.

Whatever Magnum PI drove. The only one worth having.

I'll take one like this, thanks.

This one; '62-'63 250 GTO Berlinetta. I think it still holds the record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction. Only 39 were ever made - and I actually drove one. On a racetrack. Fast. When I was in high school in England in the late '60s, I pit crewed for a couple of pilots who raced Jaguars in Formula Libre. I was a good enough driver to do shakedown and set up laps in them, and I actually got to drive a lot of other people's cars, too. And one weekend I got to drive one of these. In those days, it was just an obsolete race car that the guy had bought from a quasi-factory Ferrari team. Gives me the shivers now, to think of a 17-year old kid flinging one of these around an old English airport circuit track..

I'll take this a different direction.

I'm the only car guy in my family, extended or otherwise. Although my mother notices wheeled conveyances and is interested enough to send me photos of exotic things she finds in parking lots, nobody else has ever cared. To the rest of them, cars were a way to get from Point A to Point B, and nothing more.

My stepfather was a jerk, and as he was advancing in dementia he not-unsurprisingly became more of a jerk. One day I had to take him to Seattle to a medical appointment. We were standing on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk, waiting for the light. As it was about to turn, an F360 Modena idled around the corner right at our curb. My stepfather, dementia and car-uncaring and all that, smiled broadly, looked at me and said 'Wow! What a car!'

Before you say 'Well, it was red, of course he said that!' I will say that it was NOT red, or yellow, or black, or even silver. It was dark blue. So the F360 Modena is my favorite Ferrari. I figure if they can build a car that lit up my stepfather's eyes, they have built quite a car indeed.

No interest in them.

Same here, although indeed there are an awful lot of other iconic models, a lot of which have already been posted.

I'm also partial to the 60s-70s vintage endurance racing prototypes and Can Am cars, especially the 512S (pictured) and 512M Can Am models (second pic, one of a few different versions). The 60s-70s F1 cars like the various 312s are way cool too.

They made 36 of the series one and 3 of the series two. Here is a series 2 with a series 1 in the background.

I've always found the Ferrari 599 gentle on the eyes. I'd take one I suppose...

Hand an Italian designer a pencil and sketch book and they will come up with a most beautiful design. Now ask them to build it and that's where the problem begins.
I have owned a few Italian sports cars over the years and they were maintenance nightmares. But they were sure pretty to look at. Just sayin.
