Greatest Ferrari of all time???

[sportyaccordy]

Too many choices for a poll...

For me, it's a tie up between:

The F40



And the 360CS



Just pure and beautiful... and fast... like I like my women...

[omicron]

F40.

F40.

I'll say that again.

F40.

[Raghavan]

Please gimme the F40.

[S204STi]

Of the two you listed, it would have to be the 360CS, but honestly the 599 GTB Fiorano is my favorite Ferrari of all time.  Simply beautiful.

[Onslaught]

Between the two that I have to chose it would be the F40.

[goldenlover1101]

I love both, but the F40 seems to be the more exotic and exciting. Any Ferrari is the greatest of all time though!

[the Teuton]

250 short wheelbase California Spyder.   



Pure sex.  A Ferrari need not be the fastest to be the best.

[SVT_Power]

I don't see how you could even compare a F40 and a 360 CS...

Anyway F40 for me.

[850CSi]

The greatest is the F40.

My personal favorite is the 550 Maranello. 360CS is up there.

I love the F40 with all my heart and soul... but if I had to have one car to drive right now, it would be the 360CS... the new F430 is too high-tech, and the regular 360, while beautiful, and probably more than enough car for me, just isn't as special as the CS... although a regular 360 w/a Novitec exhaust and some BBS LMs would be enough for me.

The greatest is the Enzo, but my favourite is the F40.

[Payman]

Greatest? Maybe the 1957 Testa Rossa. I also like the F40, and a special mention to the 512 Berlinetta Boxer:

250 short wheelbase California Spyder.



Pure sex. A Ferrari need not be the fastest to be the best.

That, or a 250GTE, and I entirely agree.

[GoCougs]

I'd vote for anyone of the front engine GTs of the '50s and '60s.

A '62 250 GTO for example:

[TheIntrepid]

F40

[JYODER240]

The F40 is an icon. It's definently the greatest Ferrari compared to the CS. However at this point if I had to choose between the two for myself I'd pick the CS.

[pommes-t]

F40 for me! Just like sportyaccordy I like the F40 like I like women: They should be born before 1990... 

No, seriously: The F40 is a beast. It's edgy, loud and fast. I once had one on the Autobahn in front of me... For a short time until that dude in front of it turned to the right. Then I smelled gas and it was gone...

[SVT666]

The F40 is a great car...for as long as it doesn't fall apart.  I remember reading and 3 day long head-to-head comparison in Road and Track back in the early 90s between the F40 and the Diablo and R&T hired an exotic car mechanic to travel with them thoughout the three days to fix everything that broke on both cars.  The Diablo had a list of 40 or so items and the F40 had a list of 15 or so things.  Everything from the doors shifting on their hinges, to engines not starting, to interior trim falling off, etc.  If I had to I could probably find the issue at home.

Of the two, the F40. My second favorite Ferrari of all time. But my favorite Ferrari, and one of my top 5 cars of all time is the 250 Lusso:

There were three F40s in my old sports car club, a couple of which were used regularly. I don't recall there being that many issues with them.

That car is sooooo hot.

Eh.   I never liked the F40.  I don't know why everyone goes so crazy for it.  It's development was done on the 288GTO Evoluzione (which shares many of it's parts), which was just a hopped up version of the regular 288GTO, which itself was a hopped up version of the entry level 308GTB.  I'd much rather have the F50, which was built as a road going formula car, with the suspension directly bolted the the transmission. 

[FoMoJo]

Maybe not the greatest, but one of the most beautiful, imo, is the 275GTB...

[goldenlover1101]

Agreed

That's actually a lot of the reason it's so well loved. The basic Pininfarina 308/328 shape is very well known and  attractive, and the mods done to it to get both the 288 GTO and the F40 add a good deal of aggression while retaining that beautiful coke-bottle form. The F50 wasn't as well received because it is far less beautiful/aggressive to most people. The F40 says "I'm a raw, fun, race car evolved from a street car." The F50 says, "I'm checkbook engineering" Most people tend to appreciate the former rather than the latter.

Another good choice!

I think the most beautiful car ever made is this:

What about the 246 Dino makes it your favorite?

The F50 was also hideous, and didn't have the same impact on the world as the F40. From what I know, when the F40 came out, it was the fastest car in the world and basically unlike anything the world had ever seen. The F50 was basically routine in comparison...

It was also very ugly...

[ro51092]

wow. How could you not pick F40?
