    I sincerely believe the 355 is one if the most incredible automotive designs ever. It’s both aggressive and elegant. It has dominant features and subtle details, and I believe it will be regarded as one if the all time great Ferrari’s as time goes on. What are some of your favorite design features? Share your photos. It’s hard to argue that, for many of us, it all starts with the amazing profile and powerful side air intakes.

    the 355 is already regarded as one of the all time greats..
    one of my favorite design features is the rear wing lip..

    I love everything about it but if I had to call out a favorite design feature it would be the rear glass/buttress/engine cover area.

    I thought it had some similarities with the 68 Charger I used to have. Of course a different era/dimensions but still has the quad lights and buttresses. (and the undulating body line from side profile)

    I like the crease on the top of the fenders that runs 360 around the whole car into the rear deck lip.

    The wheels are some of the best looking ever and compliment the car perfectly. The side air intakes are my favorite and viewing the car side profile is perfection.

    Agreed. That is a dramatic part of its lines

    I like the way the body seems to be draped over the wheels. The F360 and 430 have too much metal sitting on top of the wheels. The F438 has an odd bulge forward of the rear wheel.

    Really 250 GTO DNA. The 288 tail kick was modeled after it.

    That line is more accentuated on a spider with top down where it totally defines the contour of the body.

    For many of these features you guys are gushing over, you’d better thank the 348. :)

    The 355 is the only car that I just cant seem to find any angle that doesn't look good. Low, wide, and those hips. I just cannot get tired of looking at it.:)
