Don't forget that favourite Ferraris can also include competition cars of course. There are many on my top shelf but two of them, which were also powered by 3.0 litre V12 engines, were the 312P sports car which raced briefly in 1969/70 before being replaced by the 5.0 litre 512 to take on Porsche's 917. The 312P has to be one of the most beautiful-looking Ferrari race cars (see pic below). And of course the legendary 312T which won two world F1 titles with Niki Lauda at the helm and could well have won three in a row if not for his near-death Nurburgring crash in 1976. So much history in one marque. It never ceases to amaze me.
