    Forget the most crucial element.

    Once you buy the car and admire it, that it doesn't disappear the next day forever.

    To me, for a car to qualify as beautiful means it must be some combination of feminine, soft, curvy and elegant. Like a woman. Cars like the TR, F40/50, F12/812, Enzo, LaFerrari and any V8 after the F355 don't really qualify. Those cars look sharp, aggressive and masculine, and we love them for that. But beautiful? No.

    More beautiful are the classic ones. Ever set eyes on a 250 GT Lusso? It oozes beauty. I know it's pre-75, but it deserves mention anyway.

    Truly beautiful post-75 cars:

    1) 288 GTO
    2) 3x8
    3) 550
    4) 355
    5) 456
    6) California and Portofino

    The 308 Berlinetta by far. Pretty much perfect.

    2. 550 just flat out wonderful to look at
    3. 355 berlinetta just gorgeous
    4. Gotta go 612. Never really liked them, but wow has that car aged gracefully. Just a classy machine.
    5. 360/430 series great cars.

    In my humble opinion there is no substitute for:

    Top Tier
    512TR
    550/575
    F40

    Honorable mentions
    355 GTB (incredible update on the 348)
    3x8 family (exceptional lines)
    456 (best 4 seater Ferrari design since the 60s)
    365/512 BB
    288GTO
    360 Sypder
    458/88 Family (start of a new era)

    Agree the 456 is the best looking 4 seater Ferrari- EVER- it’s timeless and I’ve never owned one

    Funny how the F50 never makes any of these lists. Probably the single most dated looking Ferrari second only to the 360.
