F430 Scuderia

The best-selling Ferrari of all time, the F430 Scuderia has the sleek exterior look with smooth curves that gives it a less-intimidating look for the average driver, while its 4.3 liter, 8 cylinder engine gives it the performance needed to leave fellow racers in the dust.

458 Italia

The model that eventually replaced the F430, the 458 Italia is one of Ferrari’s most sophisticated creations to date. The car boasts a 7-speed double-clutch transmission conducted by paddle shifters. This vehicle is a great racing toy, while also having the appeal of a luxurious ride.

F60 Enzo

When millennials think of Ferraris, an image of the F60 Enzo is often imprinted into their minds. With its sharp and futuristic design, the F60 Enzo blew away the supercar industry with incredible good looks and undeniable drivability.
