    2. 250 Monza ('54 er so)
    3. 246 Dino ('72 er so)

    I'm not going to try and pick 10, but my list would definitely include the following:
    250 TR
    250 GTO "64"
    250 GT Lusso
    330 P4
    328 GTB (even though I own a GTS!)

    and even a few F1 cars:
    312 (1967-1968)
    312B (1970-1971)
    312T2 (1976-1977)
    640/641 (1989-1990)

    and I also have a bit of a warm spot for the 512 S "Coda Lunga".

    The ugliest Ferrari is prettier than the most beautiful example of most modern marques.

    for classic simplicity:
    166MM

    Sexy Muscle Award:
    375MM

    Elegance:
    SWB Spider California

    Man's Man lines:
    275 GTB/4

    The oh my god, that's street-legal sex on wheels:
    246 GTS

    The prettiest car in an era of ugly cars:
    308/328

    Pure race cars that are universally declared beautiful:
    250 GTO
    250TR w/o pontoons
    p4

    And my two entries for the most beautiful Ferraris that most people usually call ugly or simply ignore, but grow on you when you start really looking at them in person and appreciating the proportions:
    330 2+2 (single headlight)
    308 GT4

    4. 275 NART Spyder
    5. 250 GT California Spyder LWB

    7. 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe
    8. 250 GTL Lusso
    9. 250 GTO
    10. 250 GT Berlinetta Tour de France

    New stuff, road cars:

    The 550 is a classic example of a design that has improved with age. It was very much poo-pooed by media and public for being too reserved for a 200-mph car. Now it just looks very elegant...Of course that's true of style applied to any product -- the more risky/shocking/trendy the quicker it looks tacky and dated.

    Speaking of tacky and dated...the 348. ;) (It's not that bad...but in my book it is too derivative of the TR without the benefit of proportions to make it menacing, but also it is not graceful or elegant IN COMPARISON to other Ferraris. In comparison to its contemporary sports and GT cars, it is quite nice.

    Once again I say the 62 250 GTO is hands down the most beautiful Ferrari in history. And yeah I have ridden in one (3387) on track.

    250GT/Lusso is definitely the most beautiful Ferrari ever produced, and would be in the list of the 20 most beautiful car designs.
    However it is not necessarily my ultimate Ferrari. I guess that would be a more aggressive car like the 250 GTO or early 250TDF.

    Has to be a 2004 Titanium Grigio 360 Spider with Black Interior & Daytonas with white stitching.

    Exactly like the one in my garage.

    Some Rolex you mean????? jajajaj,,,only joke

    --------------------------

    I wanted to say,this is a very difficult list to make,difficult to choose wich one,and the most probably is "the cars you like today,may be after time you preffer others",I mean every list can change with the time,but today would be this one:

    1-250 GTO
    2-288 GTO(Because was the supercar when I was child,and grow up at same time as me)
    3-Mythos(Because arrive to that concept from a testarossa was amazing for 1989)
    4-Sigma(Because my father pass them to me in my first "slot car" game being a child)
    5-F40(Should be the first of the list too)
    6-F430(They fix the "desing failure" at front lights from the 360,improving the front shape)
    7-360(I like all,,,except the front view with that front lights,similar "old" visual effect in F50)
    8-F355 Berlinetta(No one joins better "the classic with the modern" inside Ferrari brand)
    9-330 P3(I love old Ferrari Le Mans car)
    10-P 4/5 (I love this kind of "insect" also jejejje)

    I drop sooo maaany models I love,,but today is like that jejejej
