I like the last one the best. Nice and shiny red! :)

It's a Ferris Bueller-type Ferrari isn't it.

I wouldn't drive it, I'd just rub it with a diaper.

The Daytona is about a 1/2 decade after the faux-Ferrari you refer to. The car in Ferris Bueller' Day Off was a kit car based on an amalgam of early 60's Ferrari 250 series. That information is based on Ferrari historians and the producers of the movie.

Just the same, the kit car was beautiful as is the Daytona. There are very few Ferraris that I would consider ugly. The Ferrari 400/412 is one of those ugly creations



The Ferrari 400 and 412 models are lesser-known front-engined 2+2 coupés. Their design is derived from the 365 GT4 2+2 version of the famous Daytona. Production began in 1976, with the improved 412 introduced in 1985 and phased out in 1989. Today, the 400i has depreciated to the point where it could be easily be purchased for the price of a new family car, while it’s sleek, Pininfarina-designed lines and relatively limited production numbers give it potential as a future classic.
