and you are driving around Malibu in your favorite automobile with your favorite lady friend. You turn the heads of onlookers in the outdoor cafés as you pass with your beautiful car and significant other. The Paparazzi is there at the restaurant as you exit your favorite automobile. What would you be driving? Now, we are not talking about your favorite "driving" Ferrari. This is the best looking Ferrari that you would like to be seen driving. Your choice can be a vintage or modern Ferrari as long as you feel it will be absolutely stunning to the crowd. Remember, you want to make an impression on the observers as someone who knows high-fashion. This is why you would never be seen driving any other make of car on the planet. But what model would you choose?

A 250 GT SWB! I once had the luck to co-drive it on a racetrack and that was fantastic. But even before that I thougth it was (one of) the most beautiful Ferrari ever!

360 Spyder

If it was a classic it would be any 250. Or if I had one, a 330P4.

If it was a modern, it would be a 360 Spider. Yeah they are seen frequently, but still, I love it. :lol:

All good choices. I like the choice of the yellow 246 GTS. I'd pick a Yellow 550 Barchetta though.

On a side note; does anyone else think the Porsche Carrera GT looks a bit like a 360 Spyder?

If I had to pick one car, hands down it would be the 250 GT California Spyder SWB. It's an open car so people can see you when you drive up, and the styling oozes with both elegance and power.

If you just want people to say "Hey, look at that Ferrari", then my choice would be the F40. Yeah, the 250 GTO is cooler and more valuable, but civilians don't know it's a Ferrari. Drive up in an F40 and everyone will know what you're driving. Actually, the same could probably be said for the Enzo.

I think I would choose either a Daytona, 275 GTS, or 288 GTO

250 GTO. hands down. When I saw Tom Cruise driving the 250 in "Vanilla Sky", I about had a fit.

As for "look at that ferrari", I'd have to say the 80's tesstarossa is one of the most recognizable.

I think the 308 is the most recognizable. No question. That is a Ferrari!!!!

True, the 308 is pretty Ferrari-ish. I guess I just grew up with Miami Vice, and the tesstarossa made a big impression on me as "the" Ferrari.

Wasn't Magnum P.I. on the air at the same time as Miami Vice? I never really watched Miami Vice but wasn't it a Daytona that they drove?

Joe,
I can't believe someone thought your car was a Lamborghini. At least they picked Italian. I had somebody ask me why I had put the Ford Mustang horse on my car.
