Ferrari has the enviable position of being the preeminent sports car in the world. The Italian company can attribute much of its status to these 10 cars. To be certain, not all of Ferrari's cars have been successes. many cars of the years (some even in recent years) have had a reputation for unreliability, and prices for parts and service have always been exorbitantly high.
On the sporting side, like the NY Yankees, Ferrari has dominated Formula 1 over many decades, though there have been periods of success and there have also been extended periods of disappointment. However, over the decades, despite competitors that have come and gone, Ferrari remains the gold standard in the automotive world.
