I wouldn't be surprised if his last project was the F70, maybe they'll even name it in his memory.
Thibault Leroy Jul 03, 2012
idk if he designed the F12 if he did than yes if he didnt than i think it would be the California but that seems a little old to me so yeah its probly the F12
Killian Wright Jul 03, 2012
Was his last project the F12?
Jeremy Moniz Jul 03, 2012
What a line-up of cars

Now that's good looking
Jack Higgins Jul 04, 2012
I don't understand your thinking...lol. Heater is an optional extra.
Michael Davidson Jul 04, 2012
Yeah, I don't think that's the right weather to drop the top.
Jarett Bailey Jul 03, 2012
Issues but so gorgeous. I almost got one for my first car when I was sixteen. My father, a master mechanic wouldn't let me because he said it would always be broken down.
Jordan Smith Jul 03, 2012
It was a Lancia, it had a ton of issues.
Abraham Mendoza Jul 03, 2012
Didn't this have braking issues?
Dustin Labit Jul 03, 2012
Thanks, Carlton.
Carlton Salmon Jul 03, 2012
Lancia Monte Carlo.
Bryan Bohling Jul 03, 2012
No its not a delorean
Stephen Krane Jul 05, 2012
@Roger there is no 308 gto lol
Cho Dan Jul 04, 2012
288 GTO. Best Ferrari EVER!
Tin Nguyen Jul 04, 2012
They only made 272 of these.
Eddie Fok Jul 04, 2012
Ferrari 288 GTO, such a classic design.
Jerry Cole Jul 03, 2012
my dream ferrari is the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina... convertible of course!
Roger James Franco Jul 03, 2012
It's the Ferrari 308 GTO. I'll murder you later dude
Aiden Bass Jul 03, 2012
You might wanna murder me for this, but... What is this
Carlton Salmon Jul 03, 2012
IMO this is one of the most beautiful cars ever created. An absolutely timeless classic as well as being insanely fast.
Mark Donnelly Jul 05, 2012
The most recent ferrari that has four seats is the FF but its a gand tourer
Stephen Krane Jul 04, 2012
The 458 is far more beautiful then the gallardo
Phillip Greene Jul 03, 2012
Yeah as dated as the gallardo looks its still and awesome car to.see when you get the chance, and the adventador is on a whole diffrent level all together
Paul Dickey Jul 03, 2012
Ferrari would never dream of doing. Lambo wins in terms of design for me.
Paul Dickey Jul 03, 2012
Ferrari an lambo have two very different design styles and Ferrari has a lot more models so they have a lot more design freedom. The gallardo might be one of the best looking cars ever. And the aventador is so outrageous in its design it's something
Drake Nailon Jul 03, 2012
I'm sorry but ever since Ferrari stopped using them their cars have gotten downright ugly. At least when they were doing the styling the cars had a soul, they were rolling art. They have become Italian appliances. I'd rather own a Lamborghini.
Zachary Maurer Jul 03, 2012
What is this car? I don't really know the history of most ferraris, I would like to know more about it.
Dustin Labit Jul 03, 2012
Performance wise, absolutely. But building the same car every few years with a new bumper and headlights with an upgraded engine and maybe changing the car's length isn't exactly giving Ferrari a challenge as far as design goes.
Paul Dickey Jul 03, 2012
You don't see Lamborghini as much of a competition to Ferrari?
Abraham Mendoza Jul 03, 2012
That's pretty funny David. Imagine Clarkson saying it. It sounds even bettre
Dustin Labit Jul 03, 2012
Meh, I don't see Porsche as much competition to Ferrari. And honestly, Lamborghini neither. Ferrari is just on an entirely different level in terms of beauty and soul in their car. And soul isn't something that you can just give a car.
Thibault Leroy Jul 03, 2012
and that is more powerful
John Serely Jul 03, 2012
@david that's a Maserati, haha. I know what you mean, but he is trying to say he wants to see a real Ferrari sedan, that costs more
Maaz Mansoor Jul 03, 2012
Estoque has been binned
David Eslava Jul 03, 2012
Ferrari does have a sedan... it's called the Quattroporte Sport GTS
Tanton Stoneman Jul 03, 2012
Aston has the rapide as well
Avery Williams Jul 03, 2012
Ferrari needs to make a sedan or at least a comeback with this car. Porsche has the Panamera and Lamborghini is working on the Estoque. It'll be nice to see Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari go against each other in sedans.
Chris Mallinson Jul 04, 2012
Don't forget the Hyundai matrix lol
Tino Shepherd Jul 03, 2012
crappy build quality and awful engines let it down but still a thing of beauty
Thorben Jan�en Jul 03, 2012
definitely one of the prettier Peugeots!
Tony Flaherty Jul 03, 2012
Yea the water feature is nice !!!
Jack Higgins Jul 04, 2012
Yep. He did a great job too. I love this car. I think he had a hand in the Gran Turismo too.
Craig Lafey Jul 03, 2012
Sergio was a part of this masterati?
John Serely Jul 03, 2012
I love the quattroporte
David Eslava Jul 03, 2012
The best car ever...RIP
nhra man233 Jul 26, 2012
love the design cant believe its R.I.P
Tino Shepherd Jul 03, 2012
the 355 is still the one of the best ferrari's of all time. classic beauty
Luke Purdy Jul 03, 2012
Love the 360, was my favourite car
John Serely Jul 03, 2012
This and the f430 and California are 3 of the best looking ferraris that have been made recently (kinda recently lol)
Reece Rhys Loughmiller Jul 03, 2012
The 360 has always been THE Ferrari for me. I know not a more beautiful car than this; and to all who argue, your words go unheard.
Jesse Davidson Jul 03, 2012
I've got one of these beauties and I really hate when people put it down, and say its not a good Ferrari anymore. Like how dare you comparing it to newer models?!? There is 14 years of evolution. This used to be like the 458's and F430's it's amazing
Abraham Mendoza Jul 03, 2012
Those Stradale are pretty mean sounding cars. I like it.
Nick Schnee Jul 03, 2012
Best Ferrari IMO, it even looks a little better than the 458.
Thibault Leroy Jul 03, 2012
im not hating on this car but i have never really liked the 360 but the 430 is a beauty
Brad Wood Jul 03, 2012
Yes, when this car came out in '99 it was stunning. Huge evolution from the 355. Still beautiful 14 years later.
Michael Dunn Jul 03, 2012
Always loved this car.
Sebastian Grey Jul 03, 2012
The 360 is my favourite Ferrari.
John Darwin Price Jul 03, 2012
Still sounds good too.
John Serely Jul 03, 2012
I think the 360 still looks great today!
