I challenge you not to lust after at least one of these:

Impossible not to like at least one, Testarossa is one of my favorites.

The F40 should have been mentioned there as well. It's one of the most iconic Ferrari, in my opinion.

Visually-speaking, I've never been a fan of Ferraris; Lamborghinis are more my thing.

The one exception for me is the Testarossa. Always loved the way that thing looked!

Love the Testarossa as well, I wonder if it's an 80s thing. That 250 GT California Spyder is a thing of beauty as well.

I was an 80s teenager.

I had 3 posters on my bedroom wall throughout most of that decade: A white Countach, a red Testarossa and Linda Lusardi. Two of them were topless; I'll leave you to guess which two.

I must be the odd one out. Growing up in the 80's my favourite cars were always the big saloons, W126, Jaguar XJ, and my favourite was a big Audi 200 with quadrouple headlights that a neighbour had in their parking spot. That wide grille looked so huge I thought it was the biggest car I ever saw. His one was silver, but this picture captures that wide grille look.

So I suppose I got what I always wanted as a kid, a huge Audi :)

Out of that list the only Ferraris I like are the old ones, 1961 California and earlier, don't care for the wedge shape of those that came after.

My fav 80s car has to be a Black Mercedes 560SEC (C126). Over engineered with that great pillarless look for a coupe!!!

Never been a big fan of the Testarossa (speaking from experience as I've actually driven one that belonged to a friend back in the eighties).

There's a 308 near me that I see driving by on a regular basis. Sounds like a bucket full of spanners, unfortunately ;)

To be honest, even if I had that sort of dough, I'd never consider buying a Ferrari. I might buy another Aston though - my old DBS was a money pit, but what a car! ;)

I had a 308 for a while which I liked a lot, but the 348 which replaced it was truly awful!!
