Ferrari is just one arm of the world's largest car company. Ferrari passenger cars started as a way to fund their F1 Racing team (and to a certain extent that still holds true today) Enzo Ferrari (the founder) could car less if he made any money selling the road going cars, as long as he had enough money to keep the F1 team competitive.


Oh...and that world's largest car company? Fiat.......whom has Ferrari, Alfa Romeo (among other companies under their banner) and now has part of Chrysler to go along with it. So while Ferrari do only make performance cars (it wasn't always like that however), Fiat who owns Ferrari make many, many different kinds of vehicles. So that pretty much makes Ferrari is to Fiat, as Corvette is to GM.


While there may be slight differences from Vette to Vette of the same year, Ferrari usually has 3-4 different models going all at once, I believe the currently line up is the California, 458, 599, and with the new Ferrari FF coming online soon as well. Just realized that the 612 is no longer being made.....short run on that.


The new 458 is a very nice car, and replaces the 430. The 599 GTO is a beast.


The beauty about Ferrari....if you don't like the interior and exterior color combinations that they offer on their website, they will make it to order, whatever color you want. So if you have a hankering for a Barney Purple exterior with a bright yellow interior with purple stitching....well it's your money, they will make it anyway you want.


Personally, I will take a Ferrari 599GTO, in Verde, with the white striped Racing Livery package, silver brake pads and blacked out wheels.
