This is my response to the Ugly Ferrari Design thread. I thought we should celebrate the beauty of these cars instead of the opposite. Now for my vote of the 10 most beautiful Ferrari's ever. 1. 250 GTO ('62 er so) 2. 250 Monza ('54 er so) 3. 246 Dino ('72 er so) 4. F50 5. F355 Spider 6. F360 Spider 7. 599 8. 328GTS 9. F430 Spider 10.550 coupe
#1: Ferrari 330 p3/ 412p #2: 288 gto #3: 250gto #4: 348 hardtop #5: 512 tr #6: 308 #7: 458 italia #8: 355 #9: 328 #10: 550/575
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
50's= TR, 250 SWB 60's=GTO, 275GTB, Daytona 70's=246, 512, 308 80's=328, 288, F40 90's= 355, F50 00= 360 CS, 458 Italia, Jim's P4/5 IMHO
1. 250 Nembo Sypder 2. 412 P 3. 355 Berlinetta 4. 575 Coupe (except in red) 5. 250 Testa Rossa '60-'61 6. 250 LM 7. 375 MM 8. 250 GTO 9. 365 GTB/4 Daytona 10. 250 California Spyder SWB

I feel like I've done this before, but here's today's attempt. Old stuff, road cars, approximate order: 1. 250 GT SWB -- maybe the prettiest car ever made 2. 250 GT California Spyder SWB -- in silver, please 3. 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder 4. 275 NART Spyder 5. 250 GT California Spyder LWB 6. 246 GTS -- with covered headlamps: classic, modern, timeless 7. 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe 8. 250 GTL Lusso 9. 250 GTO 10. 250 GT Berlinetta Tour de France New stuff, road cars: 1. 308 GTS Euro 2. 328 GTS 3. 308 GTB Euro 4. 328 GTB 5. 288 GTO 6. F40 7. F355 GTS or GTB 8. 550/575 9. 512 BB/BBi 10. 512 TR (yes really -- in dark colors)
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.
Not the most beautiful, but it is absolutely gorgeous in person: Burgundy Ferrari f430 Some shots I've took of one.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambo472/4090674847/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambo472/4087605551/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambo472/4083574733/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambo472/4083330093/
1. 250 GT Lusso (especially in burgundy/tan) 2. 250 GTO 3. Dino GT (I really don't like the Dino GTS) 4. Enzo 5. 308/328 GTS 6. 308/328 GTB 7. 360/430 8. 288 GTO 9. F40 10. 512 BB
1. 250 GTO 2. 250 GT California Spyder SWB -- in silver, please 3. 275 Spyder 4. 275 NART Spyder 5. 250 GT California Spyder LWB 6. 288 GTO 7. F50 8. Enzo 9. F40 10. 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe 11. 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder 12. 512TR 13. 328GTS 14. F512M 15. 512BBI 16. 328 GTB 17. 308 GTS 18. 575
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.
550 Maranello 355 Berlinetta 360 Challenge Stradale Ferrari Daytona (NOT in red though. something like the blue in the top gear episode suits it much better) Ferrari 512 BB F40 (needs the enkei's) F50 (roof up) Enzo (didn't like it at first looks wise...grew on me and now to me it looks beautiful) 250 GTO
Has to be a 2004 Titanium Grigio 360 Spider with Black Interior & Daytonas with white stitching. Exactly like the one in my garage. And yes I am completely objective about this!
All time fav is 288GTO, but the first vintage Ferrari that caught my eye was the '67 365 California. I'd love to have one, but at twice the price of a 275 GTB I'm hesitant to say I'd get it over the 275... maybe have to get both! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
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
