The Joker · 5 November 2016, 11:33 PM

Hmmm I'm having a tough time choosing.

The Joker · 5 November 2016, 11:34 PM

Gonna have to vote F40. Was close between F50 and 288 though.

brandrea · 5 November 2016, 11:35 PM

The 288 for me. I agree with the Top Gear fellas ... It's the easiest on the eyes

Etschell · 5 November 2016, 11:40 PM

F430 scud

Psmith · 5 November 2016, 11:48 PM

Out of those listed, the F50.
For some reason, never seems as popular/revered as the F40.

My personal fave is the 355 Berlinetta.

enjoythemusic · 5 November 2016, 11:50 PM

While the 288 is tempting, the F40 was Ferrari's last 'driver's car'. It also helps that i'm good friends with one of the very few specialist mechanics who knows the F40 inside and out.

Now if you've got a 333 SP, bring it! :)

RW16610 · 6 November 2016, 12:17 AM

The Enzo has to be my favourite. Love the sound of that e gone. They're all great of course but this has been the case for me for some time.

crew · 6 November 2016, 12:19 AM

That video actually brought a smile to my face. Well done and I'll put November 9th on my calendar to watch the show.
I can't pick out a "favorite" as they are all gorgeous cars. I like the Enzo and La Ferrari a lot, but they are all beautiful.
Last week, while in Florida, I had a chance to drive my first Ferrari when I visited a friend. Initially I said no, as I felt the car was too expensive, too intimidating for me. I rode in the passengers seat for a few miles and, when offered the chance to drive it again, took the wheel. What a thrill; the sound, the power, the raw exhilaration of Ferrari. Glad I did it.
Here's the car I drove:

bayerische · 6 November 2016, 01:07 AM

F40. It's a "real" Race car for the road.

SearChart · 6 November 2016, 01:36 AM

288 GTO is my favourite from the options.

BNA/LION · 6 November 2016, 07:26 AM

F40 but I like the Enzo too!

DeeTee · 6 November 2016, 12:28 PM

I couldn't pick between the F50/Enzo.
If I had the cash I would grab an F50 in a heartbeat seeing they are undervalued compared to other flagship Ferraris of the past.

Essentially because it was never as good.

Saying that I still think the f50 is one of the best looking Ferraris ever made. Even if I'd still take the F-40 over it.

OmegaJJH · 6 November 2016, 08:03 PM

Enzo for me.

I know there are now better, faster cars out there but this is "the one" for me.

IMO the best looking car ever made.

I don't think I agree with this - for example, the F40's chassis was crude by comparison and suffered a lot a flex (trade-off for keeping weight down). It is also a difficult and uncomfortable car to drive. A lot more F40s were built (over 1,300) than F50s (only 349) so this may be a factor in terms of 'public popularity'. I think styling may also be a factor i.e. the F40 looks more typically Ferrari-like for the era.

The Testarossa was unloved and unvalued for many years - now values have gone through the roof. Such is the fickle world of collecting!

enjoythemusic · 7 November 2016, 01:54 AM

Yes the F40 was a driver's car and thus you needed a bit of talent to get the best from it. It is easy to swap seats for a proper race seat with custom-fit bead insert. Agree the chassis was not the stiffest by today's standard, yet still workable.

As for the Testarossa, it looks sweet yet the first gen had a horrible rear bounce to it. The 512 brought in things to help solve various situations, yet still love the high side-view mirror(s , if you added the other side) of the original version.

Ronin78 · 7 November 2016, 06:17 AM

F355 gets my vote though it didn't make the list. They have that F1 engine scream.

I must say I prefer a classic 6 speed gets shifter with a real clutch.

Pix · 7 November 2016, 07:06 AM

What no 308....Magnums car that really put Ferrari on the map��

locutus49 · 7 November 2016, 07:30 AM

No love for the 360 Modena?

Wesley Crusher · 7 November 2016, 08:03 AM

F40. I've never driven one, but it's the best looking Ferrari I've ever seen. Nothing else comes close.

Swearengen · 7 November 2016, 08:27 AM

For me the F40 is the one

This quote pretty much nails it for me too. The F-40 may not be as swoopy and curvy as the others but it has an attitude all its own that speaks volumes. For me it exudes power, performance, speed and it looks like its doing 220mph sitting still !
