Most beautiful Ferrari since the GTO

Modern Ferrari's don't do much for me, don't like there over the top styling. But the Roma is just stunning, hopefully this will be their design philosophy for other models to come. Can't wait to see this one in the wild, pure Art.

It’s completely a matter of taste so please take no offense whatsoever. You probably wouldn’t like the looks of the cars that I like, but I understand that it is nothing beyond taste so;.... that Ferrari doesn’t look bad, but it just doesn’t sweep me off my feet.

If given a choice with no regard to value, I'd take an early dino.

Dino's are pretty. A couple of years ago we had one on a shoot, that car has some sexy curves.

Why would I be offended?

One of my favourite Ferrari is the 400i. Even that it's getting some more love these days, for decades it was the Ferrari everyone "hated".

Well it’s easy to offend around here, so I was just trying to be clear that it was not my intention to be argumentative about it.

It was just a few days ago we were discussing Cunningham. About 20 years ago, an attempt was made to resurrect the Cunningham brand, with a car that was to be called the C7. A Cadillac-built V12 was supposed to power it. I guess we can forgive Ferrari for a shamelessly derivative design, it is timeless:

The Ferrari picture in the OP looks like some other car but I can’t remember what it is.

Opel GTs were pretty cool.

It looks like a cross of an MB SL and a Nissan 350, possibly a Crossfire. The Opel GT was kind of neat.
