Week 7, Ferrari

I decided to save the two most iconic exotic car brands for last. I’m starting with Ferrari because they don’t have the best performance. Don’t get me wrong at all they have amazing specs compared to other cars but for the price they are not worth it. The reason Ferrari’s are priced the way that they are is because of their rarity. One of the greatest examples of that is a Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 was built from 1987 -1992 and was the final Ferrari that the creator of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari, approved. It started off at the price of $400,000 and has went up $880,000. It has a twin-turbocharged Ferrari Dino V8 engine. The funny thing about me bringing up this car and talking about them not having the best performance is the fact that it is a very fast car. It has a 0-60 in 4.2 seconds which was very impressive for a car from 1987. One of the very unique parts of this car is the fact that the engine is in the middle of the car and it’s rear wheel drive. Ferrari has made some iconic cars but for most people this is probably the one that people know best.

Above is the Ferrari LaFerrari another infamous Ferrari. The LaFerrari is another iconic Ferrari that definitely doesn’t have poor performance. It has a 6.3L V12 which is a lot of power for this car. A fun fact about this car is that Gordon Ramsay loves this car and owns two of them. Gordon Ramsay owns a lot of Ferrari’s but this is the only one that he has two of. Another thing that blows me away about this car is that it goes for 1.4 million. It has a 0-60 in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. It also goes from 0-120 mph in less than seven seconds. It scares me to think that the car can go 0-120 faster than my car can 0-60. I obviously have a bias towards Lamborghini over Ferrari but I will not try to down play Ferrari. They are still one hell of a car that is a force to be reckoned with.
