Dressed up with no where to go, but perhaps the best looking modern-era Ferrari.
 
Easy sub zero, just look at that gorgeous thing.
 
Cool. Because curvy.

Not subzero, because not F40.

Yeah, I know, it exudes ten times as much class and refinement as the F40. But it still ain't no F40.

I mean, do I need to say more? It's not a F40, yes. But just look at it! Take one good look at it! Listen to it!

​

This car is nothing short of legendary. It would eventually lead to the creation of F40, and if that does not count as being the most blue blooded of the 1980's Ferrari lineage, then I do not know what it is...

I don't even particularly like this car, but I'm going to Sub it simply for its legacy. Ferrari would not be what it is today (for better, or for worse) without this car, and a game changer is always cool.

Why do they have 8L of milk? SU because too much milk.​

Well, I was merely using a fridge image to show my rating; which is Sub-Zero of course. ;)

I take it you recognize the car as well, then.
 
The only other thing I can say why this is SZ is this.




Pop-up headlights.
 
So cool. It's a GTO! Magic.

Not that car in particular. I have friends who just live around the corner from there. I'd imagine this is a customers car Italia Autosport are looking after. They prepared F40's for some national competition back in the day, so they'll be familiar with 288's as well. 👍
 
The F40 is an easy SZ. This is cooler than that.

But fridges aren't sub-zero, their temperature is a couple of degrees above zero degrees Celsius.

You mean "Celsius", not "Celcius" there, my friend.

[/counter pedant] (I am just kidding, by the way, no problem) :)
 
Not quite at the f40's level.

Still a high cool.
 
More of a stunner and less of a yuppie mobile than the 308 quattrovalvole. Still overshadowed by its legendary successor.

High cool.

It's French('s). SU.
 
Just not doing it for me. Meh.
 
I've driven one of these a couple of times thanks to a wealthy I don't care about my cars customer, and it's a true 80's turbo machine.

Nothing nothing nothing and you're going sideways! Excellent piece of engineering and design. Easily in the top 5 of best looking Ferrari's for me.

High cool. Close to Sub zero.
 
My favorite modern day Ferrari by far.
 
One of my favorite cars ever. Sub Zero.
 
One of the three Ferraris to wear the GTO badge. The 250 is epic. The 599 is epic. See a pattern here? SZ.

The 599 GTO wasn't nearly as epic as the other 2, but I sure see a pattern!
