Movie cars generally need to talk—or at least morph into robots—to become big screen icons. But in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder steals the show simply by having its mileage reversed. It’s been more than 40 years since a California last rolled off the Mara­nello line, so Ferrari is hoping next year’s revival of the name plate inspires the same level of lust. Not to say the newest prancing horse is a retro roadster, since it’s packed with Ferrari firsts and innovations cribbed from the brand’s F1 program. But its gorgeous Pininfarina-penned lines still hark back to the masterpiece Ferris’ buddy Cameron smashed into oblivion.
