A high whine approaches from down the road. A Japanese motorcycle? A Honda Prelude? No, there's a deeper tone to it... something almost like a wild animal... as a streak of red flashes around the corner, the noise takes shape as a Ferrari F355, a highly tuned Italian beast. As the Ferrari accellerates smoothly down the road, speed comes naturally to the Pinifarina designed beauty. The targa top provides a suitable open air experience without the weight increase of a convertible top. In terms of sheer power, the Ferrari's small but refined V-8 produces enough to get the job done without any uneccesary bulk. Decades of producing the world's best sports cars have taught the people at Ferrari a few things about efficiancy. The price, however, is less than modest: $135,000 dollars. Although a 0-60 time under 4.5 seconds and a hot body almost make up for the dent in your wallet, the Ferrari just can't compete with the less expensive yet more powerful Dodge Viper GTS..
