Most Beautiful Car ever Styled?
I say styled because it pisses me off that stylists claim they are "designing" a car. Engineers design things, not stylists, But, I digress!
Vote for one! |
Cars are designed.
Hair is styled. |

Too many beautiful cars to list, all styled.
The Lotus 78 was a beautifully styled F1 racecar. The Bugatti Atlantic is one of the most beautiful touring cars ever styled. I still love the styling of my 911. And the 904. And the Carrera GT. The Y job was a gorgeously styled 'dream car' Studebaker Champion, Ferrari GTO, Cadzzila, Muira, Dino.....the list is long! Way, way, way too broad and subjective for a simple poll, IMHO |

I am a Form-Follows-Function guy. To me "styling" is just what results from a successful Form-Follows-Function process. For me, of course, Porsches are leaders in this field. Except maybe for the 914, which I thought was a miscarriage of "styling".

^^^ for sure AZ 911. I've been trying for the last 20 mins to post a pic of the early coupe from Wikipedia, this is all I can get

As R&T put it long ago in one of their Miura retrospectives:
"If you don't like this one, find a new hobby." Definitely the Miura. Every few phone calls I give my father grief for selling his P400S. |

here is the best 'view point' to use when looking at a Miura:

Being an ex Brit I tend to gravitate towards Jaguar XKE and Austin Healey 3000.
Ford GT40 is special. Add Jaguar XK120 and Jaguar sedan 3.4. Many more though. Even the 1960's Buick Riviera was special. Many more.... |
or maybe the Ghibli?
|

For me, the Holden Efijy
It's a real car made by General Motors, but it's a one-off. http://www.fluxauto.com/wp-content/u...jy-Concept.jpg http://www.musclecarfan.com/wp-conte...06/Ca80628.jpg And I absolutely love the MKV Jaguar. http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Jag...v-11-SJ_01.jpg I'd agree with just about anything penned by Pinninfarina or Aston Martin. GT40 is all kinds of beautiful awesome. |

What a stupid question, there is no such thing. To many to choose from.

No time to look up pics, but here's my top five:
Ferrari 250 SWB Porsche Speedster Porsche 911 Talbot Lago '57 Chevy |

My list:
Golden age: Dino 246GT 904 GTS 300SL Gullwing Jag E-Type coupe Miura Modern age: F40 360 Modena Carrera GT Racing: Too many to list! -Z-man |
what? No XKE?

I can appreciate the Miura, but the cars which usually stop my heart for a second are usually Alfas. When we get to the UK, I love seeing Alfa sedans and coupes in parking lots and on the highways. Some of the styling may be pushing the envelope a bit, but my eyes are drawn to the curves.
TZ1s and 2s may be my favorites, but I am willing to look at others. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1375272074.jpg Best Les |
