you said it, modern day ferraris are cool and all, but this still has the WOW factor, at least for me. this ferrari has the "passion" that modern day ferraris (awesome in their own right) lack.

i agree with foxhound, this kind of ferrari has a certain purity essence to them unlike the marketing department driven modern ones. this ferrari was made when enzo ferrari was at his best.

I'm in agreement with foxhounds also ... the "passion" is missing from the modern day Ferrari offerings ... however IMHO the all time most beautiful, most passion provoking Ferrari will always be the original V6 Dino.

Not many, I'd nominate the Alfa 8C 2900 Mille Miglia as being at within the same rarified group of beauty.

Worldcarfans "Last year, RM Auctions sold a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder for $10,894,400 US dollars (or €7,040,000/£5,598,208). This 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is expected to beat that." I would to address the fact that this car belonged to a famous 70's actor james coburn which should have been pointed out.
