Is this the ugliest Ferrari ever built?

Well, it sure is angular !

I have this one. It was No. 12 from Eidai Grip's Technica series, issued in 1979. A lever on the base operated the drop top mechanism.

Not the ugliest Ferrari I've ever seen however.  I would go with the 330GT 2+2 Navarro. I think Kess plans on making this one.

Both are ugly but the award goes to the Navarro as by far the worst. The Rainbow looks like an expensive Fiat copy.

What were they thinking? Both Ferrari and Eidai ?

@john-shamblin.." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"..Ferrari's are always unique.

@randtheman

Those "beholders" should have had an eye exam! 😆 

@john-shamblin It was the 1970s, and the wedge look was "in" - remember the TR7? This was also a design study by Bertone, so thankfully only one was made. The rest of Eidai Grip Technica's series was F1 cars except for the Maserati Boomerang show car, another angular concept car, but perhaps better looking, along the lines of the Alfa Carabo and Lamborghini Marzal. And the Rainbow was a diecast toy - I'm sure many more ended up in kid's hands than went on collectors' shelves.

The Ferrari Mythos was no beauty either !

@100ford2003 And I have one of those in 1/43 plastic by Revell. Can't blame the '70's on this one - it was a 1990 show car by Pininfarina.

I like them all except the Fiat-Ferrari, which is a really nice Fiat.

Here is another Bertone concept creation that I just recently photographed:

@chav And that one has recently been modeled by Top Marques (the new TM, not Max Kernick's old TM). I have one on order, and saw the 1:1 a few years ago too. 

@chav..excellent photos..very unique cars.. Never over estimate the taste of the public.

Thanks for the perspective, Harv. I definitely remember the TR7. It came out around the time I got my drivers license, and, although I sorta liked it, I also thought it was rather quirky. Same with the Countach.
