It must be a recent trend then, because Ferraris from the past always had at least 4 tail lights. Also, if we are going to talk about front-engined GT's, I'd rather have the old 512 or 550.

I was always quite partial to the 575. Wasn't that basically the same lineage as the 550 though????

The one with the hood scoop and the fender vents was the one I liked.

I've seen a few Ferraris around here lately. Not these bad boys...but sweet cars none the less.

575 was a 550 with a bigger engine and a few other tweeks. another beautiful car. very dynamically challenged next to the 599 though
