If Elton John back in the early 1970s had wanted a car that could send him on the same type of timeless journey, which he sang about in the 'Rocket Man', so would Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer not be something bad bid. The car could not fly, but was with its top speed of 280 km/h. one of the closest, back came a rocket approved for public roads.

The british singer had, however, already reached the stars, when he ordered the car in 1973. The same year he had released the album 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', and now it was apparently just as much smack on the car as on the beat to 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)'.
