    Acccck.. Right you are, it's a 412P! I guess I better change that to :

    For me it will always be the P3, P3/4, P4 and 412P...!!

    Tom

    Same thought here. We all have our biases.

    Apart from the Alfa 8C, I haven't seen a really beautiful production car come out of Italy in the last decade. (Yes, the Maser Granturismo is handsome, but I wouldn't chop off a limb to get one.)

    The more time I spend around sports cars, the more I think the 1970s marked the end of really legendary design (with the 308/328/288 GTO/F40 strand being the stark exception -- but you could call them sequels to the Dino 206/246.)

    I was walking down the street today (Santa Monica) and saw a red 355 spider just cruise by (I actually heard it first of course) - and thought to myself "what a beautiful car." I don't say that to myself often ... I'm always thinking about cars, and to see one that excites me is rare. The 355 did it for sure.

    Only in the eyes of the beholder. I first seen that car as a roadster in red, and immediatly imagined it black and thought of the Batmobile. That is the closest any production car has ever come to the concept in both presence and performance. I think its a very beautiful machine, but the 308 is still prettier.

    The Daytona is one car that just does not have enough styling on the front for me with that long straight hood.

    +1 When you drive a Daytona passers by smile and give the thumbs up, modern Ferraris produce somewhat less polite responses.

    The Daytona is also one of the few cars that looks great in any colour.

    Ferraris were produced by a small independent firm dedicated to winning races,led with an iron fist by one of the greatest automotive geniuses.

    So, the top ten Ferraris:

    250 California SWB
    365 California
    166 MM Barchetta
    365 GT/4 Daytona (a masterpiece)
    375 MM Spyder
    250 TR
    250 GTO
    275 NART Spyder
    340 Mexico
    333 SP

    It would be interesting to see how preferences relate to age.
