The 11 greatest Ferraris of all time (RACE)

Ferrari 60 9Ferrari

The supercar universe is packed these days with new models of every shape and size from around the world.

But for many, there's no substitute for the raw power and emotion of a living, breathing Ferrari. Since the company launched its road car business in 1947, its reputation has grown from that of a respected racing team to a creator of automotive legends. 

In fact, the company has managed to maintain a waiting list for many of its models without engaging in any form of traditional advertising. 

Over the years, Ferrari has been responsible for a long line of fast, powerful, and evocative sports cars and supercars. Anyone who has ever encountered a Ferrari has his or her personal favorite. 

As we wish the Prancing Stallion a very happy 70th birthday, we take a look back at some of the company's greatest hits.

Here's Business Insider' list of the 11 best Ferraris in the world in no particular order. 

1. 166 Inter: Built from 1948 to 1950, the Ferrari 166 Inter was based on the company's successful 166 race cars. The model was Ferrari's first international sales success.

The 166 was powered by a 2.0-liter, 90-horsepower V12 engine.

2. 250 TR Testarossa: The 1957 250 TR was one of the first Ferraris to carry the iconic Testarossa badge. Testarossa, or "red head," is a reference to the car's red-painted engine head covers.
