Not to me. The most beautiful Ferrari is the 250GT Lusso. The most beautiful car? Jaguar D type, Lotus Elite (the 14), Maserati 300S, Bugatti type 35 - depends on my mood, sorry!

A man after my own heart. I think I'd pick the 450S over the 300S though. It is the single most muscular looking sports car of all time. In person it is the king of presence. The Zagato bodied Maser A6GSZ is a real stunner as well. I'll get a D-type eventually. I'd have a 250GT Lusso now if I hadn't burned up all that cash and home equity on two Jaguar E-type restorations.

I can't help but think of a Sucker fish when I see this. bleh. I'll take a much less valuable but way more beautiful Dino, thanks.

I love this car. I spent a couple hundred hours in high school drawing it. The drawing now hangs on my office wall.
