    What's the best looking Ferrari V8?

    F40 not included. It's a turbo. ;)

    IMO, tie between the Scuderia and 360CS.

    I voted 360 only because CS wasn't an option.

    CS and 360 don't look much alike. 360 isn't in my top 5 while CS is 1.

    I went this same route. It is for me most definitely the CS, but if the cars are in standard iterations it's F430 over 360.

    I love the 458 but I'm still not sure if it's my favorite design.

    I voted 360 because of the CS. If no "special" models (i.e. CS, Scud, Challenge, blah blah) then I vote 355.

    I said 458 because I think its the freshest looking of the bunch.

    Not just that it's the newest --- it just uses the least amount of design cliche's making it appear fresh. No black fins, no little black grills everywhere, no radical cuts in the body, no big or gimmicky moving wings at the back, no exaggerated scoops on the side.

    It's just refreshing to have a design that doesn't mimic every other super car made yet still has that basic Ferrari mid engine feel that goes back to the Dino.

    It's not that the 458 really is the best looking to me or the other cars are ugly. It just looks different and yet attractive from everything before it or on the market now.

    I had to vote 308. I just think its a classic beautiful design - not a bad angle on it - it is the poster child for the image of Ferrari when I hear the word. On top of that - its the car I fell in love with thirty years ago.

    348... no question about it - it's pure sex on wheels. :)

    All the best,

    Same body = same car.

    Although I like the 360 CS wheels more than the stock 360 ones.

    355, and I still think the 288 is leagues ahead of the F40 in the looks department.......for the turdboat cars, although ineligible for this poll. :D

    Even though I have a 348, the 355 takes the cake in my opinion.

    if the vote were based on true styling merits, the 308 gtb w/ euro bumpers and front spoiler would be well out in front followed by the 355.

    308GTB all the way. But you left off the GT4 and Mondial and I know those have their fans too. I'll bet the Mondial would get more votes than the Cali. <duck>

    So far, nobody has voted for the California.

    Saw a silver/black one with yellow calipers and shields at the dealership a couple of weeks ago. Looks much better in person than in pictures IMVHO. I was too fat for the seats so I kept my wallet safely tucked away. ;)

    The 308, but only if it's a GTB with Euro bumpers, the small front spoiler and no rear spoiler.
