The top 10 sportscars, 2000-2009

AUTOSPORT's Gary Watkins compiles his list of the 10 best sportscars of the 2000-2009 decade

10. Ferrari 550 Maranello

Le Mans wins: 1
LMS titles: 2
FIA GT titles: 3

This 'British' Ferrari edges out another Prodrive-built contender, the Aston Martin DBR9, for my final place. It's not that the 550 Maranello GTS/GT1 racer was a better car than the Aston (though some drivers will tell you it was), rather the circumstances of its development.

Prodrive built the 550 without any help - technical, financial or otherwise - from Ferrari, and still produced a car good enough to beat the might of Chevrolet at Le Mans.
