Few cars have made the cultural impact that the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder did when it appeared in an iconic film. The breathtaking design, featuring sleek lines, a long hood, and a convertible top was iconic Ferrari. The 250 GT SWB California Spyder was powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine, capable of producing up to 280 horsepower. Ferrari was designing great cars around this period and the California Spyder was iconic (via The Drive).
