The Best Cars Ever Built By Ferrari
By SAYAN BOSE
Ferrari F40
Named in honor of Ferrari's 40th anniversary, the F40 became an instant icon of performance in the 1980s and paved the way for the F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari.
The F40 revolutionized Ferrari. Its stripped-down interior with extensive use of composite materials gave passengers the impression they were riding in a Le Man's prototype.
Ferrari F355
The F355 was a huge success. Its whole body undertray was emphasized as a performance standard upon debut, and orders poured in quicker than Ferrari could build them.
This Ferrari was seven seconds quicker around the Fiorano test track than the earlier 348 because of improved suspension and greater available power.
Ferrari 288GTO
In 1984, Ferrari built a street-legal automobile that was both beautiful and rough. The 288 GTO had a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
Although it lacks the advanced undertray design and aerodynamic finesse of later Ferraris, this is a vehicle engineered for stability up to its maximum speed.
Ferrari 250P
Ferrari built the ideal Prototype racing vehicle of its day by combining the mid-engined layout with its strongest competitive V12 engine, and the result was the 250 P.
The P-car program was completed in 1967 with the 330 P4 before a three-liter engine restriction was set in 1968 and rendered them obsolete.
Ferrari 125 S
Built after the plant was restored during World War II, the 125 S was created from scratch over the course of two years and had a naturally aspirated V-12 engine.
The 125 S had a brief but eventful existence. Ferrari's first year in business saw chassis 01C participate in 13 events, while chassis 02C competed in only six.
