The last Ferrari produced before the brand was taken over by Fiat, the Daytona, marked the end of the front-engine era.
The last model designed during Enzo Ferrari’s lifetime, the F40, remains emblematic of the 1980s.
The 1970s saw Ferraris switch from front to mid-engine, much to the chagrin of Enzo Ferrari, who said that horses are made to pull the cart, not to push it.
The design of the 456 GT is subtly reminiscent of the Daytona, yet perfectly contemporary, as proven by an 11-year run without redesign.
The 288 GTO is an evolution of the 308, a model designed for very sporty, competitive use. It's midsection is borrowed from the 308.
There’s an interesting story behind this little Ferrari that never officially bore the famous name.
In case anyone thought of questioning this car's place on a list of the most beautiful Ferraris, the single fact that the supremely suave Steve McQueen owned one should silence any doubts.
One of only two contemporary cars on this list, the 458 Italia is the result of the 35 years Ferrari spent perfecting the concept of a berlinetta with a central V8 engine.
In a car, beauty and elegance can take many forms, even at Ferrari. This GTC4 Lusso strays quite far from the brand’s usual aesthetics, with its elongated roof and vertical tailgate, but it’s quite the looker!
For Enzo Ferrari, racing was all that mattered. Everything else, the production cars, served only to nurture his beloved racing team.
