There are cooler Ferrari 250 GTs than this. Albeit just the one iteration.

Look at my awesome Ferrari with the untouched new interior! 0 miles driven this year!

No more pristine than any other "lusso" interior, I suspect.

The Competizione trim is a less lavish affair. Often with more wear and tear and a more hard-wearing dash given how regularly a fair number of them are used.

Not exactly a concours d'elegance winner. Even if they've hoovered up all the crumbs out of the foot well. :p

This car is impossibly cool and it's just gourgeous.
 
Sub Zero. Have you heard the sound of these? That alone is the reason why it is parked right next to Miura, Espada S3 and Ford GT40 Mk1 in my dream garage.
 
One of the classiest Ferraris ever made, and one of the most beautiful. The 3 litre carburetted V12 made an awesome noise. Many SWBs were driven to the racetrack, raced, and then driven home again. They participated in some legendary races, like Le Mans and the Targa Florio. One of the all time great Grand Tourers.

So unbelievably pretty. Even cooler than a GTO as far as I'm concerned.

The subbest of zeroes.
 
Oh this car is cool alright, especially for it's looks and racing pedigree. However, I would rather spend my money on a 458 that's has better handling, speed and looks. Or an F40. That's the only thing that stops this car from being Sub-Zero in my mind.

I think you need your eyes checked if you think a 458 is better looking.
 
For me, the most beautiful front engined car ever and a close competitor to the Muira for the best looking car of all time.

The proportions are just utterly sublime - the front 3/4 view in particular is perfection.

Even though values are in the 8 figure range, many are still raced competitively.

Sub zero.
 
Classic Italian sports cars are among the most beautiful cars in the world.

However, while this is indeed pretty, it isn't as pretty as a classic Alfa Romeo :P so it gets a Cool from me.
