I think it's their masterpiece, even better-looking than the F40 (in turn, the F40 sound is just breathtaking). There are faster ones these days, but this one is just the perfect mix of power and looks (all my subjective opinion). And the prices are hefty, given that today's wealthy are even wealthier than in the 80s, so it would be appropriate for whoever would be Robin's successor.
If you insist on current Ferraris, I'm sorry to say I have no clue what they currently have, apart from their Formula 1 race cars. Anyway, Hawai'i is beautiful, so there should be beautiful cars
Now we just need someone to take care of security and drive around in that car. Who volunteers?
For me the spoiler takes away from the lines of the F50. It seems like they have gotten away from their distinctive look.
I'd prefer the "classic" 308 Ferrari, perhaps upgraded under the hood for the story, but if it has to be a newer car, this isn't half bad.

Maybe a custom all red version?

I think this year the 488 Spider would have my vote.
I can see Thomas driving it now.....cue the music!

Also a big fan of the 488 spider. It certainly looks like a supercar, maybe some think too much so to be a daily driver, but then again the 308 certainly didn't look like anything else on the road when it was new. I'd say the most understated of all Ferraris is the California - convertible though, not a spider.

I like them, too. The 250 GT California was used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - seems they had a thing for red Ferraris in the 80s. But then, they are timeless...
By the way, didn't the actor playing Ferris' father appear in MPI or am I mixing things up?
Edit: A quick search in the forum revealed it was him. Hehe, I might just watch that movie again...

Actually they just had it here in Chicago, and yes Ferris's father (Tom Bueller, Bueller,,,,Beeuuuueller) was indeed in the episode The People vs. Orville Wright..............

Definitely has to stick with the Ferrari for Mr. Masters but how bout this one for the fresh outta the Navy local PI who needs a magic carpet to get around. Also its probably in the new TMs price range.

After a little research I really think the best car for any new magnum would be the Lotus Elise with removable hard top. It is very similar to the 308GTS and price wise would make sense. New Ferraris are just too expensive these days.
