What is your favorite Ferrari of all time (any year, any model)?



I will declare my all-time favorite to be the 360 Spyder (as Bellini is a family member of course she is my favorite).

Obviously, I am biased, but I think the lines and the design of this car are absolutely timeless.

After the 360 I think the J50 is stunning-looking.

I think, for me, the J50 and the LaFerrari Aperta are approximately equally pretty, with the LaFerrari a little more aggressive looking and the J50 smoother and sleeker.

My next-in-line favorite in the F50.

Does anyone own Ferrari (RACE) stock? The stock has a high valuation, but it is a relatively unique combination of car company and luxury brand with a high profit margin, so it is hard to value.

For me it’s still the Ferrari 288 GTO and a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona . Would like to have a 328GTB in the future. Currently own a an 88 Mondial Cabriolet w/c I enjoy driving & it’s exhaust/engine sound to die for when it’s at 5000 rpm + until redline. Among the newer Ferrari’s a 488 GTB is what I would like .

My Memory is a tad hazy-but I saw the Rodriguez Brothers driving 250's( if not looked familiar) at LeMans 1960-- Moi-too much of the L'Oeust(?) Local Cider I think the time:p!

I looked for some old 35mm Koda's I took -could not locate any--will dig in Storage when I return --

BUT-- I did find a snap of my local City Council workers waiting for the Shift change:rolleyes:

Ahem!

This photo was taken in March of 2017 at the conclusion of our walking tour of the Ferrari factory in Modena.

Dino 246 or 250 swb for me. I live very close to their London showroom and they often have some classics or race cars on display.

Ron lived close to their showroom for a couple of years too

Our apartment literally looked down directly onto the Ferrari dealership on Old Brompton Road.

There's something about the 599 GT that really pushed all my buttons. I feel it is the model that bridged the classic and contemporary Ferrari design language best.
