This is my favorite car in the whole world, for a bunch of reasons. I like the name Ferrari; it implies class and power. You're a somebody if you own a Ferrari. I like how the F50 is a car with tradition, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Ferrari, and how its styling is taken largely from the F40, the last car that Enzo Ferrari saw the production of before he died. The grill has been a standard since Ferrari began. What about the engine? When you tell someone that your car has a V-12, what does it say about you? Simply you don't settle for second-best, you want all the power you can get from a finely tuned and stylish street-legal race car. You're not about to waste your precious time getting up to freeway speed, and you certainly don't want to waste your time by being restricted to less than 100 mph on desolate roads. No, you want to get where you're going fast, and if that means going over 200 mph, so be it.
