Ferrari, synonymous with speed, luxury, status, elegance and a bunch of other stuff that make the prancing horse just so great. But, is Ferrari the fastest car? No. The most powerful? No. The most luxurious? No. The cheapest? No, definitely no. Are Ferrari’s the most beautiful cars that money can buy? No. So then why is it the greatest?

If you want speed, then buy a koenigsegg (if you’re rolling in money, of course). If you want luxury, buy a Rolls Royce, or a yacht. If you want utter beauty, buy any Porsche 911. What Ferrari does it blends all of the previously mentioned elements into one, awesome, package. Ferrari’s provide a driving experience like none-other, allowing you, the driver, to push it to the limits even if you drive like a half-wit. Ferrari’s are not made for drag racing, rally crossing, or drifting; they are made for the pure thrill of driving. I dare you, go 300 km/h on your local racetrack in a dragster, chances are that you will exit the car with an oddly suspicious patch around your crotch area. But, do the same in a Ferrari and you will come out smiling, maybe even laughing.

New models are new. Unlike many automobile manufacturers, Ferrari doesn’t change an aerodynamic line and add one or two horsepower and call it “new”, in fact its more of an adjustment. For Ferrari new is a new concept, new tech, new ideas, new thrill factor and that is what makes every Ferrari so important to the automobile industry.

When buying a Ferrari, you are buying a limited edition car. For example, Toyota has sold more that 40 million Corrola’s worldwide whereas Ferrari only makes 7000 each year, across all models.

It sexy: Show me a pic of an ugly Ferrari, I dare you, thought so. There aren't any!

Ferrari is powerful. Not just the cars but the entire brand. Ferrari (yes Ferrari, not Apple, Google or Coca-Cola) was voted (in 2014) as the Most Powerful Brand by Brand Finance. They achieved “AAA+” in the study (the first for a car brand) which takes into account many, many things.

Driving one is like driving an F1 car. Ferrari’s F1 division, arguably, the greatest F1 team ever, has extremely advanced tech in it which is now being filtered through to their road cars.

There are hundreds of other reasons why Ferrari’s are, and will always be, the best. But let's not brag about Ferrari’s superiority .
