The unbelievably curvy Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti described here, as long as your arm, has a racing record - and that is the reason for its position on this series. From the first race of the 12 Hours of Sebring to the Mille Miglia and Le Mans, the car did it all.

Its ideal location on this page is controversial because of Euro/Dollar exchange rates - but it's a strong candidate, regardless.
