Picking 10 iconic Ferraris from history

[AlexDB9]

I decided to decorate my gaming room with picture frames, over the TV, of iconic Ferrari cars from its 75 years history.

There is room for 10 of them, and I included some obvious choices, among them the first ever Ferrari badged car, the 125 S, to Enzo, up to the latest flagship, F8 Tributo.

I included ofc the 599XX Evo of which I have the Thrustmaster replica wheel.

Here's my list:

1) 1947 - 125 S
first ever Ferrari badged car

2) 1968 - Dino
first mid-engined

3) 1984 - 288 GTO
first supercar

4) 1987 - F40
last Ferrari by Enzo, before his death

5) 1995 - F50
best 'Rari of the 90s?

6) 2002 - Enzo
named after Enzo, 'nough said.

7) 2004 - F2004
dominance in F1. many records, last championship car of Schumi

8) 2011 - 599XX Evo
very capable racing machine, also I have the replica wheel 😁👌

9) 2013 - LaFerrari
the ultimate Ferrari?

10) 2019 - F8 Tributo
latest flagship supercar

What would you modify on the list?

I would add the 250 GTO, the 458 Italia, the 365 GTB/4 and the 360 Modena.

To make room for those I’d cut the F2004, the 599XX Evo, the F50 and the F8 Tributo.

 

[FerrariF1GT]

Going with my gut:

• 375 F1
• 250 GTO
• 330 P4
• 288 GTO
• Testarossa
• F40
• F50
• Enzo
• FF
• LaFerrari

Ferrari have been operating for ten decades (30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's & 20's), so one iconic or important one from each decade?

 

[MisterWaffles]

Hmm, this is a hard one but here's my list of Ferrari's cars I'd hang on a wall if I had to:

1. 458 Italia
- This is just simply put, in my opinion, the best Ferrari ever made and one of the best cars ever made period. I'd take the base model over the Speciale just for the cleaner look. Best representation on the wall for Ferrari's modern period IMO.

2. F40
- Easily the most iconic entry in the 'flagship' line of anniversary cars. Probably the best car ever produced during the 80s.

3. 330 P (any of them)
- Ferrari's most iconic entry from Le Mans, after the 250 GTO. One of the first 'prototype' racing cars as well.

4. F355 Challenge
- I really like the F355, and I wanted to include a Challenge car because they're often pretty overlooked. Probably my favourite from the history of the series.

5. F2001
- Not the most dominant of Schumy's winners, but probably the cleanest-looking in my opinion. Might not have as many wins as the 2004 car, or is as fast, but won all the same accolades at the end of the season.

6. 250 GTO
- This one is pretty essential but I'm a bit more indifferent towards it than the 330 P. It's the most expensive and valuable car of all time so it's worth a spot on the list I guess.

7. 512 BB/LM
- This one's a strange car, some wide-bodied aerodynamic monster that wasn't especially noteworthy. I just like how insane it looks.

8. FXX
- Debating this over the Enzo, but I don't have an entry from the XX series on the list, so I chose the original.

9. 312/67
- I guess on the wall to accentuate Ferrari's F1 history, you need a death bathtub somewhere. This was probably the coolest one.

10. 550 GTS
- This one's another left-fielder and not even technically a car Ferrari built, but it's really cool so I'd add it.

Since I apparently have all of them in AC, here they are in order:

2 of my all-time favourite cars are Ferraris - the F40 and the 458. The 458 was one of my first "dream cars" next to the Pagani Zonda and I thought it was perfection. Then I saw the F40 and called it "art" (Sorry Lamborghini, the Miura doesn't do it for me). I love both of those cars. So with that in mind, here's the list:

F40
458
488 Pista
550 Maranello GT1
F12
312T
F2007
LaFerrari
250 GTO
355

 

[LeGeNd-1]

125 S - the first one
250 GTO
288 GTO
F40
F50
Enzo
LaFerrari - basically the hypercar bloodline
330 P4 - the most beautiful race car
F2004 - the most successful F1, dat V10 sound, peak MSC era, nuff said
812 Competizione - probably the last pure NA road car before everything gets turbo/hybridised

Honorable mentions:
550 Maranello - best looking GT
Testarossa - absolute icon, Outrun/synthwave legend
355 - best looking mid engine V8
458 Speciale - the last pure NA V8
156 F1 - Sharknose, need I say more?
Ferrari 643 - the most beautiful F1 car ever

 

[Dotini]

IMHO, here are the six most iconic Ferraris of all:

250 Testa Rossa - won Le Mans 3 times, Sebring 3 times, Targa Florio and 3 world sports car championships. Very successful in the hands of amateurs.

250 GTO
275 GTB/4
365 GTB/4 Daytona
330 P4
156 F1 shark nose

Edit: I should probably the 275 LM

 

[Neddo]

A bit unpopular list is mine:

456
550
F50 GT
250GT Passo Corto
250 GTO
348
mondial
275 GTB
430 Scuderia
365/4 Daytona
Testarossa

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

250 TR (I think the coolest vintage Ferrari)
250 SWB (my favorite FR classic Ferrari)
Dino 206 S (up there as a contender for prettiest car of all time, full stop)
512bb (my favorite of the wedge-era Ferraris)
F110 Testarossa (brilliant combination of GT and supercar, still peerless in this regard IMO)
F40 (brutal and beautiful)
F355 (for me a goldilocks of Ferrari road cars - technology and artistry in perfect balance)
F50 (not that I would know, but likely one of the best driver's cars ever made. Where else can you get a high revving V12, midship configuration and a gated manual gearbox?)
550 (one of the most beautiful modern cars)
Enzo (perhaps it's nostalgia, but I've always been strongly drawn to the Enzo)

 

[Nielsen]

250 GTO
330 P4
365 GTB/4 “Daytona”
Testarossa
GTO “288”
F40
F355 Berlinetta
F50
Enzo
599 GTO

 

[SuperSportX]

250 GTO - The pinnacle of a car collection + it has a fantastic heritage.
Ferrari Testarossa - This car embodies the 80s IMO rivaled only by the Countach and Delorean. Really cool car that I would love to own some day.
Ferrari 288 GTO Evo - Iirc this was used as the basis for the F40 + it's a pretty cool car thought it isn't the prettiest.
Ferrari F40 - Racecar for the road + it's an F40.
Ferrari F50 - IMO this car is heavily underrated for both looks and performance as i've seen quite a few people call it one of the ugliest Ferrari models.
Ferrari F50 GT - I believe had they used this it easily would've been a top 3 GT1 car along with McLaren and Mercedes.
Ferrari F355 - Semi affordable ferrari model with decent enough performance.
Ferrari 360 - The styling seemed pretty modern for 1999.
Ferrari Enzo - Named after the legend himself + it's one of the coolest looking and sounding cars ever.
Ferrari LaFerrari - Ferrari's first street-legal hypercar of the modern era + it sounds fantastic.

 

[05XR8]

Wouldn't the first Ferrari be a must?

 

[MIE1992]

This likely will be a bit biased towards more recent models, but regardless, these are my favorites:

-Dino
-Testarossa
-F40
-F50
-Enzo
-LaFerrari
-SF90
-SP1
-330 P4
-Sergio

I'm hoping that GT7 will both reintroduce the SP1, but also include the Sergio. The latter is my personal pick for the most beautiful car of the 2010s.

 

[Populuxe]

I'll play. Here are my ten.

166 Inter - I need to have an early Columbo-V12 in my list.

735 LM - An extremely rare inline-six.

625 Monza - But really any four-cylinder Ferrari.

410 Superfast - Big and gaudy like the Americans it was marketed towards.

250 GT Berlinetta SWB - Small and nimble like the European circuits it was meant for.

365 GTB/4 Daytona - As elegant a design as has ever been draped on a car.

365 GT4 BB - Proof Ferrari understood mid-engined Brutalism.

246 GT - The prettiest Ferrari with a lovely V6

328 GTS/B - The progenitor of a new type of Ferrari, the mid-engined V8.

F40 - The last Ferrari by Ferrari and an instant classic.

 

[SestoScudo]

Man this is really hard as a Ferrari fan 😢

But the Ferrari F50 has always been my number 1 Ferrari. But to do a list of the top 10 is hard for me.
