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.

 

[Ron Resnick]

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!

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

Ahem!

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.

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.

Oh I’m not quite that close! A couple minutes walk away in a quiet garden square.
