Bloomberg article says it's not considered a "real" Ferrari... even though there is one in the Ferrari museum in Italy.

The P4 style is just gorgeous at any angle. But even better up close, just so you can see how tiny it is. Interesting how this one was built over a 1957 Cooper Climax chassis.

Sort of fascinated on the story of the above. I recall seeing over 30 years ago at Road America, a P4 recreation represented by Joe Marchetti. Though I'm not sure it was actually his.

Makes one wonder how Enzo perceived these takeoff's.

Yeah, they are very different kinds of cars so they are hard for me to compare. Another couple of the most beautiful cars are the E-type and the GT40 MkI or MkII. Another one of my all-time favs is mentioned below.

and also quite stunning, actually, even better than the ferrari to me. I like the "emblem" in the air intake at the front.

Agreed, one of my absolute favorites. Probably my favorite Ferrari.

Never would I have thought of the P4 as tiny. Low, yes. Tiny, no. Cool.

250 LM. My favorite of all time over any car . I guess I just like the look of purpose.

Naturally, we'll usually gravitate towards sports cars. But the most stunning car I've seen in person was a Delhaye

Spent nearly my entire childhood fixated on this model and the GTO.

Simply gorgeous cars, every one of them. Very hard to pick a favorite. This little guy comes close, though:
