Ferrari 250 LM
- The Ferrari 250 LM was based on the Ferrari P, a prototype race car that won several races in 1963. In production form, the 250 LM was made available to the public, and in 1965, it won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as several other races worldwide. It didn't hurt that it was also ridiculously good looking.
- "I expressed my wish to the engineers. Build a car to be best in the world. And now the car is here," said Enzo Ferrari. The car he was talking about was the Ferrari F40, and at the time, you would have been hard-pressed to find anyone to tell him another car was better. When we drove it, aside from loving its performance, we also said "the F40 looks immediately right." It still does.
- Its name is repetitive and a bit silly, but there's nothing silly about the fact that the LaFerrari makes 950 horsepower and weighs in at just under 3,000 pounds. Oh, and it's rear-wheel drive, too. In short, "The noise, the excitement, the sheer, blistering speed, the spread of ability in being so usable on the road and such a missile on track. The LaFerrari is a triumph."
