It was quite unusual at the time of release. Ferrari's then President Luca Di Montezemolo was tasked with turning around the business and his first order of said business was to give the designers and engineers free reign to build a super solid and classic Ferrari front engine rear wheel drive GT - well they did.

It was one of the stiffest chassis ever produced by the marque and featured a blissful completely redesigned V12 engine and originally a 6 speed manual gearbox.

This is one of the latest and final variants featuring the F1 sequential gearbox with paddles.

One of Ferrari's final classic GT cars, design wise probably one of the most balanced and gracious ever.

Haaahaa....there you go my man. Forgot about that. Bad Boys 2 that's right.

They always had better taste in cars than scripts with these flicks :). The 964 turbo in the first one was also neatly put into the scene!
