For me, it would be the F50.

Love the looks of them and having the ability to take the roof off is nice smile

The F40 is definitely a poster car for me, an icon. Love it and would love to own one. No elextronics, the turbo surge and the looks to give passers by whiplash.

The Enzo too is an icon, but that was the pinacle of technology at a point in time, a point in time which will be quickly eclipsed by the likes of the Aventador etc. If I could have a number of them, I would have to inlcude an Enzo but if I could have just one, it wouldnt be an Enzo.

Add so to the F50. Stunning looking. V12. Roofless. Supposedly the Carrera GT's 'father'. Throw in the rarity (349 world wide?) and the fact some are RHD (if you plan on using it in the UK only), and for me, we have a winner.

I'd go for the Enzo every time because it's more modern than the others .On the downside I'd have to have at least one other Ferrari in the garage otherwise I'd be driving it too much and it would be worth tuppence in a couple of years time as it hit 20k miles.
I also reckon the F40 best stay a dream for me otherwise there's more than a chance I'd wonder what all the fuss was about.

They are all brilliant and I would quite happily give all of them a home.

For me the Enzo is just epic! It looks Insane and as already said is an icon and has for a long time been my favourite. I always said I would sell my soul, even myself to have one!

The F40 is awesome, a proper classic and an amazing car to be in. When you speak to people it seems to be everybody's favourite.

The F50, a car I've always liked but I guess like a lot of people didn't pay it too much attention as people always spoke about the F40 or Enzo rather than the F50. Well in the past couple years it's started to really grow on me and well, now I'm hooked!!!!!!!!!
I feel it is a very underrated car. It has by far the closest to a genuine formula one engine, I think any road car has ever had! A lot of cars like to say they are a racing car for the road, well the F50 genuinely is! And would you just listen to the noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf1bk0TGyoU
Oh and has been said, a couple have been converted to RHD so I could overtake with ease wink For me right here right now (having just spent 20 minutes watching F50 videos on YouTube) It would have to be the F50!

Enzo for me, F50 would be a fairly distant second.

I have only ever seen one Enzo in the flesh but from that brief sighting I have to say it is one of the most stunning and dramatic super cars ever produced, yet it still retains an element of beauty which many super or hyper cars lack.

It's also the more modern and probably more capable car with regards to regular usage.

The F40 is definitely looking a bit dated and for the money it would cost there would be quite a few ferrari's/lamborghini's I would rather own- despite many considering it an icon and the best ferrari made.

F50 for me.

V12 - check
Manual gearbox - check
No electronic aids - check
Comfortable driving position - check

The F50 to me was always one of Ferrari's less successful designs. The F40 again for some reason never really pushed my buttons and the Enzo was always second best to the Zonda in my eyes.

Now if you had added the 288 GTO to that list then that would most certainly have got my vote

For me, Enzo in black - all three cars are great, but the Enzo has driver aids that may keep me alive just a little bit longer than if I was in the others! If I were to have a go in the F40, I suspect I'd probably be dead - in a blaze of glory, naturally - within half an hour. It'd probably be the best half hour of my life though!

Enzo in yellow. biggrin

F40 I just find to be very ugly, F50 isn't pretty either but I do quite like it. The Enzo's looks aren't great either but it's very striking rather than beautiful. smile

F40 for me, made around the period I was born and would love to own a 1991 F40 one day, never will but a good dream.

For me it just looks perfect.
