    Hands down. The Lusso is in a class of its own.

    Lusso looks like it was designed using leftovers from other cars they built. Sculpture on wheels all right, but not very balanced or beautiful.

    I fear this is when the thread will go off on a tangent....as usual.... but have to defend the Lusso. To me it is one of the most beautiful cars ever created........There is a simple answer to all this discussion......Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......

    The Lusso is the prettiest. Not the most dramatic nor the most aggressive to be sure.

    I would add the most elegant and prettiest of almost any Ferrari ever made. For me the most beautiful of the entire 250 series. The only flaw is the kamm tail back of the Lusso. For me it should have been like the 275GTB in the back. Kamm tail but done rightly ;)

    Like a beautiful woman a single minor flaw only enhances the aura.

    There's a school of thought that no creation made by man should be perfect, lest we offend the gods.

    Think of what was being made at the time these beautiful cars were out. I would have liked to have been standing on the sidewalk looking at one these rolling sculptures running thru traffic with the rest of those period cars.

    Being front heavy may work on a lady, but it sure does not work on a car.

    Whether you think it beautiful or not it does seem to stir the passions.

    Yes- agree 100%. The most beautiful cars in the world are feminine. DB4, 250 S1 Pinin cab,
    a 275 GTB. Cars can and are often just sexy!

    Don't forget the Dino with the big voluptuous and curvaceous front arches ;)

    The Lusso is a beautiful car - yes, but its not sexy! A sexy car is the 275GTBs and some of the early 50s cars! The Lusso is too smooth to be sexy....!

    Some guys like smooth.
    Some guys like it rough.

    Whatever floats your boat.

    I like them both. If I had to choose one I would say the PF Coupe. I thinks it's minimal design has a lot of character.

    Agreed the more subtle curves ooze refinement, yet it still looks sporting and purposeful... It's a car that it's easy to imagine a prince or a movie star getting out of. For the same reason I prefer the PF cabriolet to the spyder. The GTE is a very good looking car, imho, but it's a car for the family man made good, an upgrade on a Volvo Amazon, if you will ;)

    I have read some bloody stupid remarks on here over the years but to the best of my knowledge you are the first person ever to compare any Ferrari to a Volvo....improvement or not.......I despair...

    How appropriate as Amazon was a clear copy of earlier Pinin Farina Coupes.
