Ferraris - 31/03/2010 11:40
Don't know how I ended up here in my lunchbreak, but was perusing the Fezza website. They have a great little function showing all the cars they have ever made..
There are some seriously good looking cars, esp in the 50s and 60s, but they made up for this by making some awful ones in the 80s!!
Clicky here - lottery winners only though

I don't mean to repeat myself but
275GTS, best looking car ever made.
I would have to say I love classic Ferraris but the new 599 would be in my dream garage.

F40 was 80's and is quite clearly the best ferrari ever made...not open for discussion.

Aye, I heard Brewster did
I actually think the F430 is the nicest looking Ferrari ever made, but I'm probably alone on that one

I'm biased clearly, but I always preferred the mid-engined Ferrari shape to the front-engined models
The F355 is widely regarded as one of the prettiest, but for me, the best just has to be the 288GTO
Followed very closely by the very similar 308GTB

Re: Ferraris - 31/03/2010 22:29
should probably start buying tickets
I'd like a F40 in MINT condition, so I could buck the trend and fit a 1990 "G" Reg Toyota MR2 MK2 fibreglass Bodykit to it (badly, with all wrong proportions)
And then, presumably I'll be shot.

250 GT SWB Competizione for me! closely followed by a 246 GT.

250 GT SWB - top of the list by far. Good taste.
then 246 gt, 288 GTO, 250LM, 275 GTB, 355 challenge, 328 GTB, in no particular order.

Definately 288 GTO! There's always a few for sale on

Re: Ferraris - 09/04/2010 16:50
Another vote for the 288 GTO
But then again the classics, Dino, 250 GT Lusso, Daytona....
I've been in an F40 - could not believe how heavy the clutch was though. Stunning all the same....
I know the Testarossa styling gets an 80's panning from some but I really like the 512 TR too.
OK bugger it - I'd have any!

Ferrari 355.
The quintessential, seminal and definitive Ferrari.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 360 Modena
Of course the girls don't have anything to do with my choice.
Next on the my list are the 288GTO and 308GBT equally (because they look similar anyway) classic Ferrari shape.

i second this! saw a real one at rockingham when there was a ascar race on, with other super cars and normal ones racing round trying to dry the track out, was amazing!!

Re: Ferraris - 12/04/2010 14:28
also as iv worked on a few ferrari's, i do think the 430 is the most well built one so far, everything is quality and when you take them apart you know they was hand built

Didcoop, the F40 is a marvellous machine indeed but what are your thoughts on the F50?

Ferrari Dino for me please.
And a big NO to the F360. It's just not very good.
Posted By: barnacle
Re: Ferraris - 13/04/2010 08:28
Wouldn't that be a Fiat Dino? Either way it's on my list, along with the 308GTB (the lightweight with the plastic body, please).

Re: Ferraris - 13/04/2010 08:56
Sorry, my mistake - early morning. Yes, that would be a Fiat. It's OH so pretty though! And small enough to go for a spirited drive without worrying about being over the other side of the road, unlike many a modern supercar.
Plastic is a good idea - you can poke it out again should you dent it!

Well im going to mention the 348 as nobody else has - i am a bit biased though as i have one parked in my garage...

Re: Ferraris - 13/04/2010 18:54
I've only ever driven one Ferrari and that was a 360 Modena around Monte Carlo
So if my numbers came up, I'd be getting one

Re: Ferraris - 13/04/2010 19:16
The Fibreglass 308 always gives me a dry smile - As an Esprit owner the Journo's always pan on about the fact that its 'plastic' and yet they somehow seem to forget about the 308 GRP and the principles of lightness.
I do really like the 348 Greg! I know its always panned but it still looks modern and fine to me.....
Actually might be considering one soon so I know whose brains to pick

It has to be the F40 for me, but then being the only forum member to have had a ride in one I couldn't choose anything else.

Nope, right 1st time. It's a Ferrari Dino, this would be the Fiat Dino...
Pretty, but not quite as nice as the Ferrari

Re: Ferraris - 14/04/2010 11:25
I thought the Ferrari one (the one I posted a pic of) didn't get Ferrari badging or whatnot.
Was it officially called a Ferrari? I know it *is* one, but just wondering whether they claimed it at the time..
When it came out it wasn't badged as a Ferrari due to it not having a big v12 in it. I think plans were to use Dino as a separate marque to sell the smaller cars through but it never happened.

Re: Ferraris - 14/04/2010 20:49
The 206/246 Dino was Enzo's tribute to his dead son Alfredino utilising the V6 that he initally proposed. The car was never supposed to have any Ferrari badges but they nearly all do now as add-on's. The 308 GT4 intially was also only badged as a Dino but customer demand saw the Prancing Horses appear......
Sorry Brewster - as per my earlier post - I've been in an F40 too
