TOMINI CLASSICS: The Ferrari 250 GT Lusso is one of the most beautiful vintage Ferrari models. Today Im reviewing this Ferrari Lusso to show you why the 250 Lusso is worth 3 million. Thomas T: Too bad he had to go to Dubai to drive this beautiful machine. It is a shame to see this vehicle in such a stark environment. Might as well be driving it on the freeway around L. A. It would be awesome to see it driven in a small village with cobblestone streets, then to the nearest asphalt highway, and finally climbing some tree lined hills. A few things I noticed. I have to disagree with Doug about the horn. I think it has an awesome tone. He never tell us what the black knob beneath the ignition/steering wheel (and above the hood release latch) controls and what all seven of the knobs in the middle control. And, he uses the term, dead pedal. I have never heard that term before. I thought it was simply a foot rest for your left foot. BTW, American vehicles used to place the head light high beam switch in the location where Ferrari has placed the windshield fluid control. Finally, couldn't the owner have asked someone (or the dealer) to modify the armrest between the seats so you could find a place for your sunglasses, etc?

The Lusso is, of course, practically THE archetypal Grand Tourer. It was built to cross entire continents in style, with panache and flair, and to make you feel like an emperor when you sit behind the wheel. it's one of those Ferrari models that leaves you feeling as though the ghost of Il Commendatore himself is hovering over you as you drive it, asking himself if you're worthy of one of his rolling artworks. :)If you're ever invited to drive the hallowed 250 GTO, you'll find that it's VERY different. Though finding someone to let you get behind the wheel of their 50 million vault occupant will be a challenge to put it mildly.

Come on already Doug A 1 out of 10 for acceleration? It's a V12 with over 200 hp. In a light car A Kia Rio is a 1. A BMW Isetta is a 1. A Fiat 600 or 36hp Beetle is a 1. I'm astounded and the thing is, I know your smarter than that. It just makes no sense. No wonder people actually referring to the Doug score when talking about you. It's irrelevant.

At first glance I thought this was the Ferrari from Ferris Bueller's: Day Off. but, after a little research here's what I found. The infamous 1961 Ferrari 250GT California [from the movie]. The vehicle is listed as a 1985 Modena GT Spyder California a replica car, which is a Ford fit with a fiberglass body that resembles a Ferrari, according to Cnet.

Your scores should be based on the year of the car compared to other vehicles of the time. Acceleration 1, if you compared it to other cars of the time, it should be much higher than 1 and of course the cool factor is 10, 10 was a cool factor for this car back then.

Those Latching hood and trunk props were standard issue on just about every 60's and 70's British car as well. I liked them also; certainly beat having a prop rod, if you don't want the weight, complexity and expense of a spring system. There were no gas struts as are commonly used today.

Lol, this car is worth 3 million in people's minds only. In reality it is slower and less comfortable and of less quality than any 200 000 sport scar. Like diamonds, it is only expensive because people say so. No thanks, I can buy lots of better cars with 3 mil.

Is it possible to watch a 20 minutes video and have to wait until minute 18: 19 to see the front end for few seconds? COME ONPlease do some walkaround of the car while you presenting it, it is really boring to watch that still image with you behind the car

Doug DeMuro, this Ferrari was NOT the fastest road car on the planet in 1963-64. The 1963 Studebaker Avanti set 29 records at the Bonneville Salt Flats, and was at the time the Worlds Fastest Production Car with a top speed of over 170 mph.

And now, my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving: what's-a behind me is not important - Franco Bertollini, as he breaks off the rear-view mirror of his Ferrari 365 Daytona Spyder and casually tosses it behind. (Gumball Rally, 1976)
