Perhaps the most beautiful car ever made. Only 18 built. A 2-litre V8 that revved to 10,000rpm in a body that weighed 700kg — pure art.

History

Derived from the Tipo 33 racing prototype, the Stradale was the road-legal version with butterfly doors, a screaming V8, and proportions that influenced supercar design for decades. At the time it was the most expensive production car in the world.
