There is a affordable Ferrari :) I own one :)
ok so it has the FIAT nameplate on it but inside its all Ferrari
with a awesome twin-overhead cam V6 fed by 3 2-Barrel Webers spinning
at 8,500RPM and it even looks great.
Its called a FIAT Dino Spider (they also made a Coupe but why bother).
In the mid-60s Enzo wanted to go racing in Formula 2 but he needed
to homolgate the motor, that means he had to build 500 cars with that
motor before he could race the motor, in those days with a total
production of less than 400 cars a year he could not build the 500
cars he needed to homolgate the motor, he made a deal with FIAT and
FIAT built the car (then kept on building them until they got to 1133
of them) and he went racing. The FIAT Dino is even accepted by the
Ferrari Owners club if you can afford their membership fees (I can't)
