The Greatest Ferraris of All Time

Why We Picked It:

The 308 GTB's unique design is a result of its famous Ferrari mid-engine arrangement, which, in comparison to front-engine vehicles, offers better weight distribution and handling.

Second, the 308 GTB has a very angular appearance. The steeply sloping roofline enhances its athletic good looks. The third notable feature of the 308 GTB is its body, which is made of sturdy fiberglass. This reduces the vehicle's overall weight, improving its handling.

The remarkable design of the Ferrari 308 GTB is a reflection of Pininfarina's skill and Ferrari's commitment to producing high-performance sports cars with stunning aesthetics. The timeless design, aerodynamic efficiency, and unquestionable air of prestige that characterize a Ferrari on the road keep people coming back.

Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina was in charge of designing the Ferrari 308 GTB. Fioravanti created other famous Ferrari shapes, such as the Daytona, the Dino, and the Berlinetta Boxer.

In 1995, Ferrari included the GTS version of the F355 in their portfolio. The GTS model was based on the F355 Berlinetta but had a removable "Targa-style" roof.

With the same 40-valve V8, the F355 GTS generated 375 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. All other specifications were also the same for the Berlinetta.

The V8 engine revs to an astonishing 8,250 rpm and produces a powerful sound distinctively Ferrari. Top speed of 183 mph and acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds were remarkable.

This Ferrari stands out from the crowd thanks to its eye-catching design, satisfying gated shifter, booming V8 engine, and, let's not forget, those gorgeous pop-up headlights. Its dimensions were virtually those of the 348, but its body had been reworked thanks to wind tunnel tests.

The F355's interior features excellent materials and a gorgeous gated shifter, while the exterior design boasts perfect proportions

To commemorate Ferrari's 50th year in business, they created a new iconic supercar that combined beauty and beast: the F50. Like the 288 GTO and F40 before it, its primary focus was on motorsports engineering, with minimal attention paid to the comfort of its occupants.

The F50's solidity was a major selling point. It featured a solidly attached chassis with less rubber in the suspension system and lacked front, rear, and engine subframes. The engine and transmission were also the rear support structure and housed the rear suspension parts, and they were attached directly to the central tub.

A V12 engine displacing 4.7 liters provided power; its output was 512 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque sent to rear wheels. The six-speed manual transmission and V12 engine were based on Ferrari's 1990 Formula One car. The F50 had a top speed of almost 200 mph and could reach 60 mph from rest in 3.7 seconds.

In 1959, Ferrari debuted the shorter 250 GT California Spyder on their stiffer short wheelbase (SWB) chassis. This Ferrari is said to perfectly embody 'la dolce vita,' or the sweet life, because it's one of the greatest motoring experiences. It's one of the most aesthetically pleasing automobiles ever produced by the illustrious Italian automaker. The car was a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, thanks to the efforts of Pininfarina and Scaglietti.

The earliest Spyders were constructed on the original 2600mm wheelbase, often known as long wheelbase (LWB), before Ferrari launched a 2400mm SWB variant of the 250 GT Berlinetta. At the 1960 Geneva Auto Show, Scaglietti debuted the 250 GT California Spyder SWB. Its body was lengthened over the new chassis.

The updated Spyder featured disc brakes and a 276-horsepower version of the 3.0-liter Colombo Tipo 125 V12 engine, just like the Berlinetta it was built on. The short-wheelbase GT Spyder was produced in a limited run of 56 vehicles and was primarily spotted on the French Riviera and Hollywood.

Ferrari's new Gran Turismo, introduced in the early 2000s, took advantage of the company's fifty years of experience while drawing inspiration from Formula One technology. The Enzo, like the 288GTO, F40, and F50 before it, is part of a small run of road cars named after the company's founder. These vehicles are emblematic of Ferrari's aspiration to create the world's most luxurious and cutting-edge automobile.

Ferrari is no stranger to branding race-derived technology on road cars. Ferrari's road and racing cars were essentially the same until the late 1950s. Safety restrictions, production costs, and practicality have created a clear divide between race cars and everyday vehicles. The Enzo was created to close this gap.

As Luca de Montezemolo states, 'To bring together our racing success and the fundamental role of races, I decided that this car, which represents the best our technology is capable of, should be dedicated to the founder of the company, who always thought racing should lay the foundation for our road car designs.' Michael Schumacher and Dario Benuzzi helped test the Enzo.

The 365 GTB/4 was Ferrari's final front-engine V12 from the classic era. It debuted at the 1968 Paris Motor Show and set the standard for fast cars with its top speed of 170 miles per hour.

The 365's V12 was located up front like the 275 GTB/4, but it was bored out to 3.6 liters instead of 2.7. Four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, and a transaxle situated in the back helped keep the front-to-rear weight distribution of both vehicles even.

Lionardi Fioavanti was responsible for the car's aesthetic, and Pininfarina made painstaking adjustments to Fioravanti's lines. The defining characteristics were the long hood, short tail, and sharp nose. This nose used to have four lights hidden behind a Plexiglas cover, later replaced with pop-up headlights. The 4.4-liter V12 engine's 363 horsepower and 319 lb-ft of torque were responsible for the vehicle's top speed of 170 mph.

Its contemporary supercar, the Lamborghini Miura, with its transversely mounted, quad-cam V12 engine, made the Daytona look antiquated but lacked in outrageousness; it made up with driveability.

The Ferrari Testarossa is widely recognized as one of the most legendary cars ever produced. Brand loyalists were initially unwilling to accept the new model due to its odd appearance, but they came around in the end.

The Pininfarina-designed car looked incredibly futuristic. However, the Testarossa is currently considered among the most visually appealing Ferrari cars ever made.

A 5.0-liter flat-12 engine producing 390 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque powered this fantastic supercar. It could reach its top speeds of 180 mph and 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.

The Testarossa is a symbol of automotive excess and high performance. It became an immediate classic thanks to its eye-catching appearance, potent engine, and outstanding performance. Collectors who value its one-of-a-kind look and performance have kept it in great demand since its introduction in the 1980s.

In 1968, Ferrari introduced the Dino sub-brand with the 246 as the line's flagship. The Scuderia required a smaller sports vehicle to compete with the Porsche 911, so the Dino was formed from the necessity for more compact V6 and V8 engines.

Dino was the nickname of Ferrari's late son and successor, Alfredo, who was only 24 years old when he passed away and was the only person who influenced Enzo Ferrari to switch from V12 powertrains to V6.

The front-engined Fiat Dino debuted the 2.0-liter engine in 1966, but Ferrari made a mid-engined car version the following year. Since the V6 produced less power than Ferrari's V12-powered cars, Enzo decided it was appropriate to create it as a mid-engined car, making it Ferrari's first mid-engined road car.

The original Dino's engine was only 2.0 liters in size, but the 246's V6 was 2.4 liters. After eight successful years, the Dino brand was discontinued in 1976 when the final Dino 308 GT4 was rebadged as a Ferrari.

One of the ultimate production road racers was the Ferrari 250 GTO. Classic proportions and a striking profile give this automobile instant recognition, and its unparalleled racing success only adds to its legend.

In addition, only 36 Ferrari 250 GTOs were ever made, making it the most sought-after Ferrari model due to its innovative design and significant record in road racing.

The Ferrari 250 GTO's aerodynamic design and potent hand-built V12 engine allowed it to reach an incredible top speed of 170 mph. The GTO's exterior was a masterful creation by Giotto Bizzarrini, who relied heavily on wind tunnel testing.

The Ferrari 250 GTO was the first car to have a rear spoiler that was built into the body. With its tall rear end and whisper-quiet performance, it has quickly become a motorsports legend.

It quickly gained praise as the car with the most distinctive design. The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars ever and the most expensive in history.

Among the most renowned supercars ever manufactured is the final Ferrari to have the blessing of the great Enzo Ferrari. Among the most renowned supercars ever manufactured is the final Ferrari to have the blessing of the great Enzo Ferrari. The Ferrari F40 has graced the bedroom walls of enthusiasts worldwide.

The Ferrari F40 incorporated a tubular steel chassis, Kevlar body panels, a carbon fiber bonnet, and doors. Its fantastic powertrain comprised a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 478 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque.

The engine was mated to a five-speed manual transmission with a gated shifter. The F40 was built to be a street racing machine. It had a top speed of 201 mph and could accelerate to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

The amenities and features in the F40 were kept at a minimum to make the car as light as possible, resulting in a curb weight of 1,100 kilograms. Pininfarina's bodywork underwent extensive wind tunnel testing for superior aerodynamic efficiency. Its short front overhang, large spoiler, and NACA air intakes made it easy to spot. Only 910 of the F40 were made during its production run from 1987 to 1992.
