Lusso looks like it was designed using leftovers from other cars they built. Sculpture on wheels all right, but not very balanced or beautiful.
I fear this is when the thread will go off on a tangent....as usual.... but have to defend the Lusso. To me it is one of the most beautiful cars ever created........There is a simple answer to all this discussion......Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......
I would add the most elegant and prettiest of almost any Ferrari ever made. For me the most beautiful of the entire 250 series. The only flaw is the kamm tail back of the Lusso. For me it should have been like the 275GTB in the back. Kamm tail but done rightly
Like a beautiful woman a single minor flaw only enhances the aura. There's a school of thought that no creation made by man should be perfect, lest we offend the gods.
Think of what was being made at the time these beautiful cars were out. I would have liked to have been standing on the sidewalk looking at one these rolling sculptures running thru traffic with the rest of those period cars.
Yes- agree 100%. The most beautiful cars in the world are feminine. DB4, 250 S1 Pinin cab, a 275 GTB. Cars can and are often just sexy!
The Lusso is a beautiful car - yes, but its not sexy! A sexy car is the 275GTBs and some of the early 50s cars! The Lusso is too smooth to be sexy....!
I like them both. If I had to choose one I would say the PF Coupe. I thinks it's minimal design has a lot of character.
Agreed the more subtle curves ooze refinement, yet it still looks sporting and purposeful... It's a car that it's easy to imagine a prince or a movie star getting out of. For the same reason I prefer the PF cabriolet to the spyder. The GTE is a very good looking car, imho, but it's a car for the family man made good, an upgrade on a Volvo Amazon, if you will
I have read some bloody stupid remarks on here over the years but to the best of my knowledge you are the first person ever to compare any Ferrari to a Volvo....improvement or not.......I despair...
There's more than just comparisons going on... Converting an 1800 to a Ferrari Lusso Replica - Volvo Owners Club Forum
