    Asking which Ferrari is the prettiest is like asking those at Sports Illustrated to identify the prettiest swim suit models.

    Even the ugly ones are pretty!

    But alas, my votes are:

    1) 1954 375 MM Spider -- If you don't know what this looks like, you need to see it. It looks like a racing Ferrari should.
    2) 250GT SWB -- I love the body lines of the Berlinetta -- nearly perfect. I also love the GTO, but it's the GT that developed the look.
    3) 246GT Dino -- the junior Ferrari with jaw-dropping beauty.
    4) 308/328 GTS -- I happen to like the body-colored bumpers, but any of these are about as close to perfect as cars get in terms of body lines.

    And if you want a list of the ones I think are the worst-looking Ferraris, I'm sure we could give you a list of those too!

    Actually, though I only mentioned the Lusso in my reply, I agree with you. The P4 was certainly the most beautiful racing sports car ever built.

    Of course, I'm also a bit partial toward my own car......

    I'm a young guy, so I grew up with modern Ferraris on my bedroom wall. Older Ferrari design connoisseurs may disagree.

    Side profile: 355B (599 looks promising however)
    Rear: Stradale (355 an honorable mention)
    Front: F50 (see pictures above, unbelievable car in black). Some say it's over-styled, but I think the subtle (in comparison to the Enzo) F1 nose and curvaceous wing mirrors are gorgeous

    Overall, the 355 has my vote for the most beautiful Ferrari. It's near perfection. The 360CS is better in every way than the standard 360 in terms of looks, but it still doesn't thrill me like the ten-year-old 355 Berlinetta. In my opinion, the 355 is the last classically designed Ferrari. It occupies a familiar era in Ferrari bedroom-wall-styling, a period defined by iconic shapes like the TR and F40.

    The introduction of the 360 signaled a fresh change in design, and while both beautiful and daring, the 360 will never be able to dethrone the 355 from its place in my heart. Though I will say I respect Ferrari for taking big risks in the styling department (particularly with the Enzo), something Porsche has never done. Now even Aston Martin seems to be coming down with a severe case of Porsche-itis. Symptoms may include a "if it's not broken, don't fix it" approach to styling that results in a reluctance to change a shape. The DB7, DB9, Vanquish, and V8 Vantage all basically look the same. We know it looks good, but how many do we need? Do something else.

    The 430 is super aggressive, with its flared side intakes and rather.. well, I don't know what to call the rear end. It certainly isn't beautiful--not for a Ferrari anyway. The 612 similarly receives the cold-shoulder from me.

    My 2 cents (not my photos).
