Ferrari: The Legends of Italy Trivia Quiz
Can you recognize these Ferrari models across the decades since the company was founded? Here are just a few of my favourites. This is a renovated/adopted version of an old quiz by author DoctorEdgeWild
Ferrari 166 Inter Touring Berlinetta (produced 1948-1950)
The first car to be called a Ferrari was the 125 S, which Enzo Ferrari drove out of the factory in 1947. The 166 Inter was built on the same chassis as the 125 S, and was the first transition away from the racing cars that preceded it, becoming a true touring car. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, only 38 units were produced. It featured the first 2.0 L Colombo V12 engine, and had a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).
2. 365 California Spyder
Ferrari 365 California Spyder (produced 1966-1967)
The 365 California was announced as the successor to the 500 Superfast, which was the flagship tourer produced from 1964 to 1967. Along with the 400 and 410 Superamerica series, the 365 California had an extremely limited run, with only 14 made for select VIP clients. Designed by Tom Tjaarda at Pininfarina, the 365 California was powered by a 4.4L Colombo V12 engine, putting out about 320 horsepower with a top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph).
3. 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
250 GT Berlinetta Lusso (produced 1962-1964)
The 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso was the final model of the 250 GT series, and is still considered to be one of the most beautiful Ferrari's ever made... and it is relatively rare with only 351 units produced. Designed by Pininfarina with body by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, this beauty was powered by a 3.0 L Colombo V12 engine, producing 240 horsepower and a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph).
4. Dino 246 GTS
Ferrari Dino 246 GTS (produced 1972-1974)
The Dino 246 GTS was part of the Dino series, which named in honour of Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari. It was one of the first Ferraris to use a V6 engine, in this case a 2.6 L V6 engine producing 195 horsepower and a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph). A favourite amongst collectors, the Dino 246 GTS was the only model in the series to have the removable roof panel for open top driving.
5. 512i Berlinetta Boxer
Ferrari 512i Berlinetta Boxer (produced 1981-1984)
Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina, the lineup of Berlinetta Boxers saw an upgrade of the 512 BB for the American market's emissions regulations with fuel injection, and became known as the 512i BB. It featured a 4.9 L flat-12 engine, with 340 horsepower and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). As the first Ferrari to incorporate a fuel injection system, this model is significant in the history of the company, as it marked the transition point for all production moving forward.
6. 308 GTS
Ferrari 308 GTS (produced 1977-1980)
Perhaps most recognizable as the car that was driven by Magnum, P.I. (Tom Selleck), the Ferrari 308 GTS was a targa top version of their 308 GTB (1975 to 1980). Also designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, this model featured a 2.9 L V8 engine with 240 horsepower and a top speed of 251 km/h (156 mph).
7. Testarossa
Ferrari Testarossa (produced 1984-1991)

The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was named as a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Ferrari's coachbuilder and stylist. A strictly limited edition of just 448 numbered cars was built, and each car was numbered, displayed on a special in-car plaque, making it highly sought after by collectors.
