It looks almost too good to drive. Could anything so perfect in line and proportion possibly be more than an ornament? Truth is this Ferrari 275 GTS/4, known as the NART Spyder, is so beautiful, you can have a more intoxicating experience just looking at it than driving most sports cars. And we owe it all to one man and, no, it's not Enzo Ferrari.

Like so many great sports car importers, Luigi Chinetti recognised the viability of sporty open cars in the American market. As such, the N.A.R.T. Spider was born of a direct request from Chinetti to offer his buyers precisely what they wanted. Adding the recognisable North American Racing Team badge to the back of the car certainly helped its cache. N.A.R.T., after all, was one of endurance racing's most successful teams, with a banner campaigned by the likes of the Rodriguez Brothers, Bob Grossman, Masten Gregory, Phil Hill, Jean Guichet, and many others.

As Luigi Chinetti Jr. recently recounted, "As an open version of the 275 GTB, it's a very romantic car. To this day, many people think it's the prettiest car ever made, and certainly the romance with the little prancing horse in the centre of the steering wheel is a very powerful thing. It signifies history and design."
