    OK, let's agree on one thing: Ferrari has some of the coolest door handles on the market. If you have a good picture of yours post it here, and tell us what it's on.:)

    Has anybody seen Aston Martin DB9 handles? Better than ANY Ferrari... dont worry, Ferraris are still better ;)
    You push in the side with the black stripes, and the handle pops out on the opposite side, where you grab and pull, which opens the door.

    Side note... the door also goes up 30 degrees (in case theres a high curb?) its just too cool.

    Sorry, I think it sucks... Although it looks great, it doesn't work very well. I now know at what angle I should pull it, but others don't and I am always afraid that they will break it.

    I think 308's handle looks and works well.

    Well, I thought we were talking about the cool factor and I think it is. As to the way it works, I am on my 2nd 360 and have yet to have any problem working the handle. Haven't heard others complain either.

    I agree, I think they look spectacular and are worth any trouble they are, if any. As soon as I can get my car and camera together I'll post my outside AND inside door handle pic.:)

    This is a modern interpretation of the door handles used on some 50's Italian cars such as Ferrari and Lancia. Unfortunately, I don't have a close-up, but found this door handle on Manny's beautiful 250 Europa Cabriolet. The regular "production" 250 Europa's didn't use this handle.

    I just glad someone finally explained how those Aston handles worked!
    I saw them in pictures but couldn't figure out how they work.....cool!

    And those Daytona handles....why couldn't they all be that way....:)

    Love the hidden 355 ones too, thanks! So cool!

    Between the DB9's door handles and those sexy guages, I think the car has some unexplainable appeal/draw. Such utter hottness. The car is german mechanics and british style (the guy who designed the 996 TT mechanics did the DB9's as well [I'm 99% sure]).

    I agree with everyone who likes the 360 handles.
    Then again, they are the only ones I have touched or seen in real life.

    How 'bout the door handles on the TVR Sagaris. There are none. Just a little button on the underside of the side mirrors, and two more buttons on the center stack for the interior.

    OK GOT'EM!

    328 door.....ah......handles? Lever? Pulls? Whatever, it's the way I like 'em.:)

    Also, I always have fun with first time passengers when the ride is over. I enjoy looking at them and saying:"OK, time to get out!" and watch them search all over for the INTERIOR door handle. It's so hidden I love it!

    Post your interior door pulls too if you want.
