Because driving dull vehicles is a waste of time, we have carefully selected a remarkable selection of Italian stallions. We chose more than a dozen Ferrari vehicles that provide thrills, unrestrained power, and flair out of the incredible lineup the company has produced for more than seven decades. Don’t keep them a secret from the public; Enzo would be embarrassed if he knew!

Formula One 360 Modena
The F355 was replaced by the 360 Modena. When the 360 Modena debuted in 1999, I wasn’t a huge fan of the design (and I still don’t like it), but boy did this Ferrari change the game technologically. It was a supercar you could drive every day because it brought together potent performance, practical refinement, and all-around usability. The good news is that the 360 Modena is actually pretty affordable and can be yours for between $70,000 and $90,000 for a superb model. This is wonderful news for lucky purchasers searching for a modern Ferrari at a reasonable price. Ferrari made 17,000 units, thus there are many excellent specimens available.
The Ferrari 360 Modena was the first Ferrari to have an all-aluminum chassis, making it 130 pounds lighter and 65 percent more robust in the torsional axis than the F355. Although the design didn’t appeal to me, it was innovative in that it was the first Ferrari in production to undergo extensive wind tunnel testing to improve aerodynamics. 400 pounds of downforce were produced at 180 mph as a result (with no wing).
What about the motor? Another masterpiece was the 3.6-liter V8. It reached 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph with 400 horsepower and a six-speed transmission. Additionally, compared to the F355, it was three seconds faster each lap around the Fiorano test track. You could choose a six-speed manual transmission or an F1 paddle shift.
The inside of the 360 Modena was more spacious and comfortable than the F355. Additionally, it was dependable and cost significantly less to maintain. In terms of maintenance, the dreaded idea of spending days removing and installing an engine only to change a cambelt (a problem that plagued early mid-engined Ferraris) was history. Maintenance costs aren’t out of this world thanks to the adoption of more contemporary technology and an emphasis on dependability (for a Ferrari). Don’t be put off by higher mileage 360s—provided, of course, that they have current books—because, believe it or not, this is an engine that performs better the more you drive it.
Both the Modena and the Spider offer smooth, quick, and excellent handling driving experiences. The steering is really precise and quick. You can feel the stronger motor and more rigid body when compared to the F355. Compared to the F355, the 360 is more enjoyable to drive, more composed, and has more horsepower, which makes it extremely quick even by today’s standards. It boasts an exhaust note that will go down in history books as one of the finest sounding vehicles ever, and it feels faster in person than the stats suggest. The F360 is comfortable and largely dependable while yet being enjoyable to drive.
Our choice is a manual Spider, although our actual preference is a Challenge Stradale, which is more expensive.

The Testarossa is a far better option than other Ferrari models if you want the classic and emotional Ferrari experience. It has a powerful 5.0-liter flat twelve engine that is naturally aspirated, and it comes in a car with both impactful and elegant style.
The Testarossa skillfully combines old world Italian exotica with more contemporary functionality, making it one of the most practical classic Ferraris on the market, especially in upgraded aTRa version. This was Ferrari’s flagship for more than ten years, performing both sporty and GT roles with amazing ease. It was quick, comfortable, and dependable.

What Ferrari model has the highest sales?
The F40 is regarded as the final Ferrari model that Enzo Ferrari himself approved, and it would make the ideal mount for any stable. At the time of its public release, it was the quickest and most potent electric motor for a Ferrari ever created. Its design celebrated its 40th anniversary. With an MSRP of $400,000 and production running from 1987 to 1992, it was also the most expensive product ever made at the time. The 2.9L twin-turbocharged intercooled V8 was positioned at the back of the F40. The F40 could perform admirably on any circuit with a 0-60 time of under 4.2 seconds.
The ideal Ferrari for daily driving?
The Ferrari Roma combines some of today’s most cutting-edge and user-friendly technologies with the feel of grand tourers from the 1950s. Outside of the Ferrari fan club, a wider range of audiences were drawn to it by its timeless appearance and creature comforts.
When compared to other Ferraris, the Roma has no performance shortcomings. Despite being a little vehicle, it is designed to be a better daily driver. The Roma has two diminutive back seats that, along with the trunk, provide 387 liters of load space.
The Roma not only exudes a costly, sophisticated appearance, but it also warmly welcomes enthusiasm with the touch of a button. Depending on the day, you can choose between five driving modes:
- Wet,
- Comfort,
- Sport,
- racial and
- ESC-Off.
You won’t notice any road irregularities while riding in any of the first three modes, and Race mode largely maintains this comfort with the exception of some additional input. Naturally, ESC-Off should only be used when your family is still at home.
Which Ferrari model is the most affordable?
The brand of supercars that is perhaps best known worldwide is Ferrari. This Italian carmaker has gained notoriety for its outstanding performance and domination in motorsports. In order to make their sports vehicles even more thrilling, Ferrari has started using turbocharging and electricity.
The Portofino is the least costly Ferrari currently on the market, yet no Ferrari can be classified as entry-level. The base price of this classy roadster is around $215,000 before options, and like any Ferrari, extras are available in abundance.
Most Expensive: The SF90 Stradale is a display of Ferrari’s performance prowess. Its hybridized twin-turbo V-8 produces close to 1,000 horsepower. The SF90 is considerably over $1 million in price, but you can’t just go into a dealer’s lot and purchase one. To add an SF90 to your collection of Prancing Horses, you must receive a personal invitation from Ferrari.
The most entertaining Ferrari to drive is impossible to choose, just as the preferred pizza variety. Nevertheless, we were in awe of the 812 Superfast. We won’t soon forget the 812 “Stoopidfast’s” V-12 song since emissions regulations cast doubt on the future of 12-cylinder engines.
As soon as a car is released, we want to test and rank as many of them as we can. We’ll rank new models as we periodically update our rankings and we might even change the scores for some models. Vehicles with insufficient testing data, however, are not scored.
Ferrari or McLaren: Which is superior?
At first look, Ferrari and McLaren can appear to be comparable because they are both renowned supercars. There are, however, noticeable distinctions and places where the McLaren is frequently regarded as being superior. The following are the key advantages McLaren has against Ferrari:
- Superior speed—McLaren and Ferrari are nearly on par in terms of performance when it comes to speed, but McLaren is generally a little faster. The highest Ferrari models can go slightly over 200 MPH, whereas the McLaren 720S can reach 212 MPH. Additionally, McLarens often have greater aerodynamics.
- A focus on performance: While the Ferrari may have more flare and style, the McLaren is arguably faster, especially when comparing the two on a racetrack as opposed to in everyday driving. McLaren offers lighter weight, smoother suspension, higher speeds, and greater aerodynamics.
- They are not mass produced; in 2019 (before to the pandemic), McLaren produced 2,335 cars, an increase of around 7% from the number they made in 2018. The McLaren models are more distinctive and expensive than Ferrari models because of the minimal manufacturing (which is done to prioritize quality over quantity).
The British automaker makes a compelling case for being the best supercar above Ferrari from the perspective of pure racetrack performance.
Which Ferrari is the most comfortable to drive?
The Ferrari 365 GTB/Daytona is by far the most pleasant and luxurious Ferrari to drive on our list, but that doesn’t imply it’s boring or undeserving of the prancing horse badge just because it’s less nimble and more comfy than the others. The 365 was built with aerodynamics in mind, which explains why it resembles a large bird’s beak almost, but not quite like a marabou stork, more like a lovely toucan.
The Daytona was not only visually stunning, but it also had the highest top speed of any vehicle when it was first introduced in 1968. The Daytona’s water-cooled front-mounted 4.4-liter V12 engine produced 353 horsepower and 319 lb-ft of torque and had a top speed of 174 mph, which was 3 mph faster than the Lamborghini Miura P400, their main rival.
Are Ferraris trustworthy?
Are you trying to find the Ferrari of your dreams to buy? Reliability is one thing you should be worried about. After all, nobody wants to pay top dollar for a Ferrari supercar and then spend more to maintain it. How dependable are Ferrari automobiles? In this essay, let’s learn more.
As dependable as any other high-performance vehicle on the market today is the modern Ferrari. They can remain in good shape for a very long time if they are driven frequently and kept up properly. Although pricey, maintenance is limited to standard procedures like brake replacements and oil changes.
Major issues necessitating extensive repairs are rare and can be avoided if your Ferrari is routinely serviced.
What Ferrari is the fastest?
Pushing the limits of its own accomplishments is the primary difficulty Ferrari encounters when creating a new model. Designing a new 12-cylinder engine—the power plant that launched the illustrious Prancing Horse saga in 1947—makes this challenge even more challenging. Research and development concentrated on engineering insights obtained from the track to create a completely new performance benchmark. The 812 Superfast 12-cylinder engine produces 789 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an astounding 2.9 seconds, and has a top speed of more than 211 mph.
The 812 Superfast features a highly developed transaxle system to couple a front-mounted engine and rear-mounted transmission in order to improve driving performance and achieve ideal weight distribution. It is the first Ferrari with an EPS system (Electronic Power Steering).
Owners of the 812 Superfast will savor the most exhilarating and satisfying driving experience conceivable, enabling you to push your personal limits and take advantage of everything Colorado’s majestic purple mountains have to offer.
What Ferrari do you drive every day?
Yes, you can now drive a Ferrari every day. The FF must completely replace the 612 Scaglietti as a Ferrari that can be used every day. The 612 is a fantastic daily driver. However, it doesn’t perform as well as a wagon or hatchback, and because it lacks 4 wheel drive, you can’t use it in hazardous situations. The FF? Its shooting brake design, which was inspired by the Ferrari 456 GT Venice and 250 GT Drogo, provides greater room for luggage on the rear. For a car that is capable of some astounding performance, the back leg room is just great. Another thing? A 6.3 liter V12 fuels the FF! This V12 generates 683 N*m (504 lb*ft) of torque at 6000 rpm and 660 PS (485 kW; 651 horsepower) at 8,000 rpm.
Where are Ferraris sold most often?
The USA continued to be by far the most significant single country market for Ferrari sports cars, despite the fact that Ferrari has not yet given a breakdown of sales by nation for 2021. A fifth to a quarter of all Ferraris delivered globally in recent years have been sold in the USA.
Around half of all deliveries were made in the somewhat broadly defined Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) area, which continued to be Ferrari’s largest market in 2021. Sales remained strong in 2020 and rose by 14% in 2021 to surpass the record-breaking year of 2019.
The recovery was stronger in the Americas, where sales increased by 22% or 506 vehicles in 2021, although there were still 69 fewer Ferraris sold there than in 2019.
Ferrari sales nearly doubled in 2021 in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to reach pre-pandemic sales levels. The rest of Asia Pacific (APAC) saw sales rise by a little over a quarter.
