Ferrari Enzo
The most exclusive Ferrari to be produced to date is the Enzo, graciously named after the company’s founder, the late Enzo Ferrari. The Enzo was the first Ferrari to have a new style V12 engine, based on the Maserati Quattroporte’s V8 engine. The price? Well, they’re no longer in production but a new one would’ve cost you around half a mil.
Ferrari 599 GTB
If you’ve only got £200,000, you want to buy a car, and you like the colour red, then you could well buy a new Ferrari 599 GTB. It’s got almost everything you would want; leather interior, electrically adjustable seats, reversing sensors, and a favourably sized 320 litre boot for taking the car to the shops. Sporty, practical, luxurious – all in one.
Ferrari F430
The F430 is the successor to the awesome 360, but has already been replaced by the new 458 Italia. It’s got a 4.3 litre V8 engine, and some of the models (the F430 GT2 and F430 Spider) run on ethanol fuel. The F430 sprints 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, and top speed is a hair raising 196mph.Ferrari California
The California is one of only a few ‘grand touring sports cars’ produced by Ferrari. It’s a retractable hardtop roofed (Ferrari’s first), two door, four seat coupe with a 4.3 litre V8 engine that powers it in similar speeds to the F430.
Ferrari 166 S
Only three of these exact models were ever produced, during Ferrari’s production in the late 1940s, and the model was soon superceded by the very similar 166 MM. These models were used in the first of Ferrari’s successes in the racing industry.
Ferrari F40
The F40 is one of the best known Ferraris, with some of the largest production runs, totally 1,315 from 1987-1992. The F40 has a distinctive half square half round design, and inside was powered by a turbocharged 2.9L V8 engine. The car was designed to compete specifically against models such as Porsche’s 959 and Lamborghini’s Countach, and not for racing, though Ferrari have had many successes with this model.
Ferrari 250 GTO
The GTO held Ferrari’s first turbocharged engine; and was designed for racing and manufactured in the early 1960s. Few know that GTO in the car’s name stands for Gran Turismo Omologato (GT Homologated). Only 36 were ever produced, so as you can imagine, as with most Ferraris the 250 GTO is highly collectible.
Ferrari 360 Spider
The 360 Spider has an optional six speed Formula 1 style electrohydraulic manual transmission, to give a more F1 experience to motorway driving. The 360 Spider is actually Ferrari’s twentieth roadgoing convertible model. The 3.6L V8 engine is conveniently displayed for all to wonder at, under a glass hood.
Ferrari 355
Ferrari have managed to achieve greater power with the 355 compared to the 348 from which it evolved, by using a 5 valve per-cylinder head engine, returning 375 bhp. The 355 is slightly more mainstream and affordable than most Ferraris, but still quite expensive to the average person on the street.
Ferrari Dino 246
The Ferrari Dino 246 was the first model with larger production numbers, and was aimed as competition against the Porsche 911. However, the name Dino was introduced into the model’s name to create a more affordable sub brand in the 1960s.
