Rallying in a Ferrari 250

One of the easiest ways to start an argument is to contend that any Ferrari is the most beautiful of them all. But every Ferrari fanatic will agree that the 250 GT Berlinetta SWB (short wheelbase) of the late '50s and early '60s is on the short list. And as if the looks weren't enough, it was also a hugely successful racer.

Ferrari only made 176 steel- and aluminum-bodied 250 GT Berlinetta SWBs and virtually all the survivors today are stored in museums safe from damage. But that's not all of them.

The clip is a ride-along aboard a 250 GT Berlinetta SWB as it competes in a rally along the Beaujolais countryside in France. It's great to look at, but you could close your eyes and the sound of that 3.0-liter V12 should be enough to send shivers up your spine
