It's called beauty and proportions. Modern cars are a bit too masculine and juvenile. The source of inspiration for Pininfarina was the shape of female body. That's why older cars are more beautiful.

I've never had the opportunity to drive a Testarossa, or any other Ferrari for that matter. Back when I was 26 years old in college, my one instructor let me sit in the driver's seat of her husband's 1991 Testarossa. I will never forget that. Surrounded by the gauges and the gated shifter was a thrill in itself. I have never sat in another car that felt like that. I hope to drive one someday. Even if it's only for five minutes.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

Long before the McLaren GT, IMO Ferrari had already achieved the recipe of mid-engined grand tourer. Even if this car was meant to be Ferrari's flagship and compete with the Lamborghini Countach, you can see how more spacious, comfortable and usable it is. Harry Metcalfe took his example on a long trip from the UK to Morocco, reaching the Sahara desert, and the car performed incredibly well. For those who haven't seen it, I recommend watching that episode of Harry's garage, IMO it's one of the best.

'81 Jupiter-8 is not bad, but it's more for the hipsters. I'd prefer the '84 Juno-106 (SysEx implementation on the sliders) and the '85 GTO which is beautiful.
