Poll: 5 best/worst looking modern Ferrari's

you are wearing ye ole flame suit...right?

 

The absolute worse looking Ferrari IMO is the Ferrari Pinin 4-door sedan.

 

I'll post my top 5:

1. 288 GTO... prettiest car in the world
2. 308 / 328 GTB ... ditto above just less 1%... & the one I personally own.
3. 206 Dino ... my first love in the automotive world
4. 355 GTB - GTS... last great car Ferrari have produced, perfect blend
5. 330 GTC - pressed steel wheels & spinners... it just screams class.

not so much:

1. 360 Modena / 430 - just not pretty ...
2. Enzo - sorry but rather ugly car, no matter the performance. The P4/5 is what it should have looked like!!!!!!!!
3. 348 - all styles ... the 90's were confusing to a lot of people
4 308 Dino GT4 ... Bertone, should have stuck with Lancia
5. 612 ... just too plain

all this being said I would take any of them!

 

Worst: Mondial, 456, Enzo(I change my mind frequently about it), 400, and the wooden F50

Best: Super America, P4/5, 360, F430/Scuderia, and F2008.

 

How can you have the F40 as the best and the F50 not make the list? The look very similar. A little emotional bias in there? I will assume you like the 40 better than the 50, no?

 

I actually have gone through some phases. I loved the testarossa growing up as a kid...and then I felt that the cheese graters were kind of cheesy and dated the car. But lately I have felt myself growing more and more attracted to this car. It is so iconic and it is much more hardcore and raw looking than the curvy cars that are made today. I love the 550 and think it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, but it is soft and feminine in compared to the TR which is in your face styling that is both daring and raw.

And you'll never get a critisism from me about the 348 - I think it is damn sexy and it's size is fantastic. Small little pocket rocket.

Shrug!

 

In my eyes, the F40 and F50 aren't all that similar.

 

I can't do the best 5.

1. F40
2. 288 GTO
3. 355 B
4. 550
5. Enzo
6. F430
7. F50
8. 348tb
9. 512M
10. 308/328 - sorry have to put down the entire series
11. Challenge Stradale

Worst ... can't do it

 

Best: Challenge Stradale
F430 Scuderia
F355 Challenge
F50
Enzo
1962-1963 250 GTO
Mondial Coupe
Dino
312T2 (F1 car)
512M (LM Car)
408 ( not a typo)



So what if its more than 5?
Worst: (flame suit WELL prepared)
F40
Mondial Cab
1964 250GTO

Less than 5...

 

Best

-F430
-599
-Enzo

Worst

-612 (sorry owners)

'flame suit on'

 

The F40 and F50 look nothing alike if you ask me....the F40 is sexy, the F50 is bulbus.

 

Ditto.

I tend to think of the F40 as being boxy, where as the F50 to have curves and curves and curves.

 

Best:

1-F40
2-288 GTO
3-512TR
4-430 Scuderia
5-575M Maranello

Not gonna do the worst....

 

Assuming modern means post-FIAT deal:

1) 512 BB
2) 456M GT
3) GTO
4) F355 GTB
5) Challenge Stradale

5) Enzo
4) 599
3) 430
2) 348
1) TR/512

 

Good eye.

While beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, I also believe age and knowledge plays a large part. When people are young they only seem to appreciate the new, whereas when people become older, more experienced and better educated they begin to appreciate the beginnings of things, to understand where and how something came from. A young guy looking at the latest Jag would turn his nose up and something like an SS100, and you cant explain it to them. Anymore than you can explain why a 166MM Barchetta is more beautiful than any modern car, Ferrari or otherwise.

My pics of the best would be, in no particular order:

166MM
250 Lusso
250 LM
P3/P4
308GTB

The worst, if such exists:

330 GT S1 4 headlight
308 rainbow
Modulo
Enzo
any that are wrecked or burned

 

Top:
360cs
F40
F50
F355 challenge
F430

Bottom:
Mondial
400
Testarossa
308
328

I am young and like the later models.

 

Best:
360 CS
512 TR
575M
355 Spider
430 Coupe
F40

Worst: anything Fiero based.

 

I'm talking strictly LOOKS here, not relative performance, historical significance, or any other criteria.

The 308 GTB is simply the most beautiful car ever made. Ever.

 

Ca va sans dire.

 

5 best

1. Enzo
2. F40
3. 355 GTB
4. 550 M
5. 430 Scud

5 "not as good as the 5 mentioned above" (because we all know Ferrari don't make anything that is bad)

1. 308 GT/4 Berlineta
2. 456 M
3. 599 GTB
4. 512 M
5. 612 S

 

I'll avoid the 'worst' list. Everytime I put something on it I end up changing my mind later.

Best of the last 30 years (since 1978)?

1. 328 (1986-88)
2. 308 Euro version
3. F40
4. 355 GTS/GTB
5. 550/575

I saw the 612 on a 'worst' list. For what it is, I think it's pretty classy, especially in dark colors or Sessanta trim.

I'd put the 288 GTO maybe at 6 or 7. Great car, but all the scoops and vents kind of smother the original 308 design. Strictly on looks, it's not in my top 5 (though it used to be).
