There is no authoritative ranking of the most beautiful Ferraris: beauty is subjective, and the examples below are an editorial selection, not a measured consensus. They span different eras and body styles, chosen for their proportions, silhouette, design and coachbuilding context, and how their appearance suits their purpose.
How we selected these Ferraris
This selection considers each car’s overall shape, design and construction attribution where documented, period context, and balance of elegance with aggression. The order is for readability, not a claim that one model is objectively more beautiful than another. Ferrari itself says many regard the 250 GTO as its most beautiful model, while the Design Museum catalogue notes a similar reputation for the 275 GTB/4.
| Ferrari | Design appeal | Context |
|---|---|---|
| 250 Testa Rossa | Competition-car presence | Chronology example |
| 250 GT SWB | Sporting character and elegance | Pininfarina heritage |
| 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso | Elegant coupe silhouette | Chronology example |
| 250 GTO | Sinuous, purposeful form | Introduced in 1962 |
| 275 GTB/4 | Sculptural grand-touring shape | Often cited for its beauty |
| Dino 246 | Compact, flowing body | Specialist coverage cites its appeal |
| 288 GTO | Aggressive yet elegant lines | Anniversary-era model |
| F40 | Uncompromising supercar form | Created for Ferrari’s 40th anniversary |
| Enzo | Modern, competition-influenced character | Ferrari chronology example |
| LaFerrari | Contemporary flagship design | Ferrari chronology example |
10 Ferraris with memorable design
1. Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
The 250 Testa Rossa brings competition purpose to the list. Its racing identity makes it a useful counterpoint to the more restrained grand-tourers: its beauty is tied to its role and period, rather than to a universal standard of elegance. Ferrari’s model chronology includes it among the marque’s notable models.
2. Ferrari 250 GT SWB
The 250 GT SWB is a strong example of sporting character paired with timeless elegance. Pininfarina describes it as an archetypal blend of those qualities in its account of the Ferrari-Pininfarina relationship. Its compact berlinetta form gives this selection a different character from the longer, more luxurious GTs.

3. Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
The Berlinetta Lusso represents the elegant coupe side of Ferrari’s 250-era design. Ferrari’s chronology identifies it among the models that mark the company’s design history. Its inclusion here reflects the appeal of a classic grand-touring silhouette, not a claim that it outranks every other Ferrari.
4. Ferrari 250 GTO
The 250 GTO combines competition purpose with a form Ferrari itself describes as sinuous and aggressive. Ferrari dates its unveiling to 24 February 1962 and says it won the GT Manufacturers’ championship in 1962, 1963, and 1964. Ferrari also says many regard it as the most beautiful Ferrari; that is the company’s characterization, not the result of an independent poll.
Attribution matters: Ferrari credits Giotto Bizzarrini with designing the GTO based on the 250 GT SWB, and Sergio Scaglietti with giving its body its final hand-shaped form. The design and the bodywork are part of a collaborative story, not a reason to credit every detail to a single designer.

5. Ferrari 275 GTB/4
The 275 GTB/4 earns a place for its sculptural grand-touring presence. The Design Museum catalogue notes that it is often considered one of the most beautiful Ferraris. That institutional design-history perspective supports its reputation without making beauty an objective fact.
6. Ferrari Dino 246
The Dino 246 offers a compact alternative to the long-hood V12 Ferraris. Specialist event coverage reports that many regard it as especially beautiful, and attributes its body design to Pininfarina and construction to Scaglietti. That reported reputation is specialist commentary rather than an official Ferrari ranking.
7. Ferrari 288 GTO
Ferrari’s anniversary material describes the 288 GTO’s lines as “aggressive yet elegant.” That pairing captures its appeal in this selection: it is a purposeful supercar shape that still retains visual restraint. Ferrari’s anniversary account also places it in the marque’s sequence of landmark models.
Rank #3
- Ferrari Die-Cast Race Vehicle in 1/24 scale
- Opening Doors, Engine Cover and Comparment (most styles)
8. Ferrari F40
The F40 is a landmark created for Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, according to Ferrari’s anniversary material. Its appeal is the opposite of the Lusso’s quiet elegance: its design communicates a single-minded supercar purpose. That contrast is one reason a subjective list can include both without pretending they share one definition of beauty.
9. Ferrari Enzo
The Enzo represents a later chapter in Ferrari’s design history. Ferrari’s chronology places it among the marque’s notable models, but the chronology does not establish an aesthetic ranking. Its inclusion broadens this selection beyond the classic cars and early supercars.

LaFerrari brings the selection into the modern era. Ferrari’s chronology verifies its place in the company’s model history; it does not declare it one of the ten most beautiful. Here it serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the hand-shaped forms and classic proportions elsewhere in the list.

What makes a Ferrari beautiful?
There is no single feature or statistic that settles the question. Proportion, silhouette, coachbuilding, historical context, and the way a design expresses a car’s intended use are useful ways to compare models, but they remain editorial criteria. Ferrari’s own description of the 250 GTO and the different reputations reported for the 275 GTB/4 and Dino 246 show why several cars can credibly be called beautiful.
