All right, Plano drivers - how many times have you been behind the wheel of a drool-worthy car like the F12berlinetta? Probably not a whole lot - the beauty of cars such as this is in their one-of-a-kind identities in the automotive world. That said, we love to hear what people have to say about the F12 after they get the chance to drive it - because it's quite the car.

There's no doubt that the new Ferrari lineup is meant to be gawked at. Whether it's cruising through the streets of the greater Dallas area, or if it's lined up and on display at an international auto show somewhere around the world. And we certainly couldn't help but stare at the 964 Ferraris that took to the Silverstone race track in the United Kingdom earlier this month.
That's right - nearly...
Some cars are just destined to be classics, and through the years, Ferrari has done an excellent job keeping up. Nearly every car they turn out is a classic, and we have little doubt that in the not-too-distant future, we'll be talking about how many millions of dollars a new Ferrari F12berlinetta pulled in at an auction. For now, however, we'll happily report about some of the rarest Ferrari classics.

Every year, Ferrari enthusiasts gather in Europe for a driving tour through the country to celebrate the Ferrari 250 GTO.

Do you ever notice that new Ferrari vehicles somehow look fast even when they're sitting completely still? It's this sensuous body style and dynamic appearance that draws many die-hard Ferrari enthusiasts in.
