Clean, classical and timeless design! Bryan, The Ferrari 308GT4 was the last production design not made by Pininfarina but by Bertone! At least I strongly think so.

I'm not talking about one-offs but full production runs . . . What about before the GT4? Scaglietti w/ the GTO?

Pininfarina... and i agree.. one of the most beautiful car designs ever.... perhaps why its been around for 10+ (1992-2003) years with very little modifications... not many other cars could pull that off and still look as stunning as it did when it first appeared... correct me if i'm wrong but the famous 308 design started in '81 (even earlier if you include some styling details of the Dino.. the conical air side-scoop and the trailing sail panels) and lasting to 89 with the 328... myself, i end that design there... the 348 i find used a whole new blank sheet of paper... will be hard design to top next year (according to rumors) GT Ben Cannon (Artherd) Member Username: Artherd Post Number: 420 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2003 - 1:19 am:    One of the most beautiful cars ever (though I think Ferrari/Pininfarina probally pened the top 5...) Best!

V12 and 4 seats. It doesn't get any better than that.

I remember reading (but don't remember where) that the 456 was there favorite in the last 10 years or something...
