Ridiculous.

Here's a video that was posted on the Jalopy Journal a long while back. I can't remember who the narrator is, but it's a bunch of 20 or so year old Hollywood dudes beating the crap out of their GTOs in the 60s(ish). Nuts.

I remember that. There are quite a few other videos from that guy's documentary on the 250 gto. Kinda crazy to know he bought his at 19 for $7k, sold it a few years later for $10k, only for it to eventually wind up in the hands of ralph lauren, and one of the most impressive private collections in the world.

Yeah that one at the top that's cropped off is the Countach.

I love it. It's exactly what I'd be doing with my money and time if I had the requisite income at this stage in my life.

A few more Ferraris:

Pardon my ignorance, but what's that extra bit of whatever-it-is on the front wheels there?

I believe they are cooling fans for the brakes.

Correct. They also serve as stone/mud guards.

Many manufacturers in the 80's tried them. Porsche had a set of wheels like that.

Interesting.
