For me, the F2004 is tops in the modern era of F1. No big shocker in that pick.

But perhaps my pick for second favorite may generate some talk here. In spite of it being a dismal race car in terms of performance (so much understeer that Alain Prost called it a "pig", which promptly got him fired), I have loved the Ferrari 643 since I first laid eyes on her. So heartbreakingly gorgeous from every angle. If only she was a winner...

Very though question, I think it's hard to say one car, because eacht era the cars were so different.
A list for me:
500 (52-53)
156 (61-62)
312 (67)
F1-89
i'm not sure which I prefer more F2002/F2003/F2004/F2006
F2008 was also a beauty but in the end, same could be said from the 2007...
for some reason I also like F10, it's not a beauty per se, but I think I like it..

For me The F138 is the prettiest Ferrari in the post 2010 Era because of the stepped noses in 2012, This car was a huge step forward in aesthetics and also because of the new awesome Colour scheme it looks awesome and also such a neat and compact packagaing by Ferrari at the rear makes a iit more attractive..F2004 and F2008 are also pretty but I liked the new wider front wing aswell
I have rediscovered the beauty and awesomeness of the 126C2 from 1982. A wonderful masterpiece created by Harvey Postlethwaite.
And it's just so criminally unfair that this beautiful beast didn't win a WDC title at the hands of Gilles or Didier.

Greatest ever? Easy, the F2004.
Most beautiful one? the F2007.
Most ugliest? dunno...maybe the F2012 (only because of its stepped nose)

Oh, I see... but with all due respect my friend, you can't blame the F60 for what happened to Felipe in 2009. It was just a very unfortunate accident, that's all, these kind of things happen in motorsport. If anyone is at all to blame in this accident then it's the Brawn team's mechanics and their flying spring.

Without a doubt, the most beautiful for me is the Ferrari 312 B2:
Just look at that beast!!!![]()

That 126C2 looks terrifying nowadays, drivers sat so far forward with their heads sticking out, no wonder they were so dangerous and claimed Gilles. The 312B2 is great too, as were the 1967/8 3-litre V12s with the spaghetti exhausts (not sure type no), but the F138 was pretty gorgeous too, just a shame it didn't go as well as it looked.
Love the F2007 F2004 F2002 F2005 And the ferrari from the 1988
Visually, I've always admired the F2007. With the darker shade of red and the absence of white, I think it's by far the best looking Ferrari I've seen in the 20 years or so I've been watching F1.
I also particularly liked the distinctive shape of the F2002, a shame about the livery though.
The recent cars with the goofy looking big front wings and skinny rear wings beginning with the F60 just don't do it for me.
Ste, my boy you forgot to take those pills you should be taking haha.
I hope your darn right btw.
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
If the nose was straight like the 1990 car or concave instead of convex i think this would be very beautiful. I say 1967 312 which was confirmed when i saw it at the Donington grand prix collection not long ago. Same year 330 p4 was in sports cars. They got the beauty levels through the roof that year.
Our beautiful SF15-T definitely deserves a place here.

I've been a witness to the Ferrari F2004 completely crush their competitors in 2004, So in my opinion there is no best than it except F40
