it's always amazing to see real pictures (and by that i mean non-professional ones) of exotic cars like this... but it's always heart-breaking to see them locked up like this.
what's the point of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini etc if it's never taken out on a race track? If these guys just wanted a pretty car, they should have considered a nice looking Mercedes or something similarly classy for their display...
meh, i just don't get it.

How can you tell from the picture that these cars are never taken out on a race track?

They probably belong to some private collector who dedicated this section to Ferrari's.
He/She probably has another section for the Porsches and the Lambos.
Australian transport and trucking tycoon, Lindsay Fox has a "museum" like display of his personal cars at his mansion.
His personal collection would rival the one pictured above.

wow a lot of people responded to my post!
well i can't say for sure that the guy who owns all those cars never drives them on tracks, but it would seem to me that a guy who pays over half a million dollars for a car (the Enzo) isn't gonna take the chance of wrecking it... especially since most of those cars are only available in a VERY limited number. Maybe drive a few of those around town, but a track?... i doubt it.
I think of rich people and cars as people who just admire the beauty of a car, without being proficient at actual racing. Rich people also buy phenomenally expensive paintings... not because they're painters, but because they admire the work of some and/or want to show off their wealth. That's why i look at these Ferraris and think "these cars aren't ever gonna see a race track". Ooh ooh, kinda like many SUVs never see dirt in their existence.
