Why 6.4: Twin turbos, kevlar, no ABS and no apologies — Doug's joint-highest Weekend score ever. Seven-figure values mean the sharpest analog Ferrari mostly appreciates in silence.

The long version

Enzo Ferrari signed off on this as the rawest car the company could legally sell, no carpet, no radio, barely any sound deadening, and the market has spent thirty years converting that rawness into a reason to never risk it. Values are up roughly ninefold since 2000, with the steepest climb in just the last decade, and a car appreciating that fast gets trailered to concours events rather than driven to them. Garage Queen is the only badge it needs; the irony is that nothing in the specification argues for storage, everything in the price does. The owners who still drive it hard trade real money for the privilege every mile.
