From the 1947 Ferrari 125 S to the 2024 Ferrari F80, Enzo Ferrari’s famous car company has produced some elite and legendary models. The great man may have passed on, but his legacy remains, visible on Formula One circuits and Monaco, Saint-Tropez and Capri streets. Whether you’re a fan of the classic vintage models of the 1950s and 60s or the more recent hybrids and naturally aspirated aerodynamic releases, the best Ferrari models never disappoint. Here are the 10 best Ferraris of all time, counted down.
10. Ferrari Dino 246 GT (1969—1974)
The 246 GT Dino was popular in its production years, with nearly 2,300 made. The V6-powered car is a tribute to Italian carmaking excellence and a departure from its V12 Ferrari supercar predecessors. Named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son, the Dino saw Ferrari target a younger, more accessible market with this agile and compact sports car. Despite its unmistakable Ferrari style and traits, Dino models carried a separate badge instead of displaying the famous Prancing Horse.
9. Ferrari F50 (1995—1997)
The F50 is Ferrari’s 50th anniversary release, although it arrived a few years early. The company included genuine Formula One (F1) technology in its design to celebrate the occasion. Ferrari’s then-president, Luca Montezemolo, wanted to use the company’s F1 know-how to create the ultimate road car and the racing experience on public roads, and the result was a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V12-engined, carbon-fiber beast that dropped Ferrari’s Fiorano racetrack lap record by four seconds. The F50 was immense and worthy of its place on this list.
8. Ferrari Testarossa (1984—1991)
You might recall the Testarossa as almost unbeatable in the Supercar playing cards packs from the mid to late 1980s. From its 1984 reveal onward, it remains one of the most iconic Ferraris ever made, with the Testarossa Pininfarina Spider custom version among the rarest. In production for a longer period than most Ferraris, the naturally aspirated 4.9-liter V12 boasts 390 horsepower, with its exterior including the signature side strakes so popular in Prancing Horses of the era.
7. Ferrari SF90 Stradale (2019—2024)
Recognized as Ferrari’s most powerful production model of all time, the manufacturer ceased making the SF90 Stradale last year after six years. It is the first Ferrari mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar — including a 4.0-liter V8 engine, two front axle-mounted motors and a single motor in its transmission. It accelerates to 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds and can reach a monumental top speed of 218 mph. Keep your eyes open for Ferrari’s first electric vehicle — an SUV predicted for release in 2025, likely in the fourth quarter.
6. Ferrari 458 Speciale (2013—2015)
As its name suggests, the 458 Speciale is a special supercar. As one of the top Ferraris ever produced, it has advanced electronics that include a Side Slip Control system to improve its handling when driving at the limit. This high-performance model of the 458 Italia is the last car from the Maranello giants with a naturally aspirated V8 engine. Besides looking the part, it performs well too, reaching 60 mph from standing in just 3 seconds.
5. Ferrari 365 GT4 BB (1973—1976)
The BB stands for “Berlinetta Boxer,” which makes sense as the 365 GT4 BB is a punchy vehicle in true 1970s Ferrari style. This Prancing Horse was a proper road car that played a part in rock music history as Eric Clapton owned a 1975 365 GT4 BB that appeared on the inside sleeve of his 1977 “Slowhand” record. The BB’s 188 mph top speed and 344 horsepower V12 engine were standout features at the time for a car with such dynamic handling.
4. Ferrari LaFerrari (2013—2018)
As the highest-ranked Ferrari hybrid on this list, the LaFerrari includes a single electric motor. This motor combines with its 6.2-liter V12 engine to produce a jaw-dropping 950 horsepower, reaching 60 mph in an astonishing 2.4 seconds. Hybrid cars are energy-efficient, and the Italian company claims this luxury car emits only 330 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer traveled. The LaFerrari is more than just a looker — ask Drake, who owns one and featured it in many music videos.
3. Ferrari Enzo (2002—2004)
Bearing the Maranello company founder’s famous name in tribute, the Enzo is a 6.0-liter V12-engined monster of a Ferrari collector’s item. Capable of 660 horsepower, the typically sharp-lined and curved car reaches 60 mph from a standing start. The Enzo has a top speed beyond 217 mph, with carbon fiber seats and body, and a racing steering wheel. You’ll be on the starting grid whenever you get behind the wheel.
2. Ferrari 250 GTO (1962—1964)
Designed to pass the homologation approval to compete in the GT racing class, the 250 GTO still conformed to road-legal standards after production. This vintage Ferrari has a 3.0-liter V12 engine capable of 300 horsepower. Do you consider this timeless beauty to be the ultimate Ferrari? With only 36 ever made, it is undoubtedly one of the most coveted, and some will pay millions to have one. In 2018, a discreet private buyer paid $70 million to own one, making it the most expensive car ever bought at the time.
1. Ferrari F40 (1987—1992)
First built to commemorate the Maranello-based company’s 40th anniversary, the F40 was the last Ferrari design approved by Enzo Ferrari before his death. Reportedly, it was the first production car to reach 200 mph, although some dispute this claim. Nevertheless, the legendary Pininfarina body design also has a mid-mounted 2.9-liter twin-turbo engine capable of producing 478 horsepower. A true Prancing Horse powerhouse, the Ferrari F40 is an impressively designed supercar, topping this list as Ferrari’s finest of all time.
Ferrari: Eternally Legendary No Matter the Model
There’s something about seeing a Ferrari on the street, especially if it’s red. Many of us dream about being behind the wheel of a Prancing Horse — to feel its engine’s absolute power and the incredible precision of its cornering. If you’ve been fortunate enough to drive one of these high-performance, enigmatic supercars, spare a thought for those who’ve not enjoyed that honor. And gloat silently, please.
