Most beautiful car built after 1945

[dinkel]

One of only 4 (1954) Maserati A6GCS Berlinetta. A Pininfarina highlight designed by Aldo Bravarone. Roman Maserati dealer Guglielmo Dei brought up the idea for this gorgeous coupe.

The engine is a six-cylinder two-liter inline engine with a cast iron block, dry sump lubrication and an alloy cylinder head with two overhead camshafts, twin ignition and three twin Weber horizontal carburettors. The gearbox is four-speed.


The aluminum bodywork was built on a tubular lattice frame. Power is quoted at approximately 170HP at 7300RPM which helps to take the Maserati A6 GCS to a top speed of 235km/h.

Let's see what the PH community has in store: I imagine the Ferrari 250 GTO #3413 and the Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupé will come up quite often.

Jaguar C Type for me.



or Ferrari 625 for a race car.

For me there is no other winner then this:

Eagle Jaguar E Type Low Drag GT









If Aliens came to earth and asked us for the pinnacle of car design, we would have to show them this car!

For easy on the eye, capable and purposeful, I'm going Fiat 130


But for something more feminine, Citroen DS


I've never been that much of a fan of really exotic, they're too fancy for me!!

This, even more so since the recent MM at Goodwood

I recall doing a Hillclimb at Wiscombe, back in 83 in DKP, i was 2nd fastest overall behind Dudley Mason Styron in his beautiful 206 Dino, he did have Avon soft slicks on though

The Emira has to be one of the front runners for sure.

[dinkel]

Good calls so far.

Espada gets my vote, as does the Low Drag Coupe I predicted to get mentioned.

Any thoughts on 'my' Maserati coupe?

IMO, your Massa is a bit fugly from the front, much better from the sides. an interesting car, never heard of one before, one thing i like about PH

Predictable as ever, spotted on the mean streets of Wilmslow aged 9, I fell in love.



I fell in love again, IMHO the most beautiful car ever built.

Agreed, no contest.

Yep unlike the somewhat ott stylised Espada the Miura is undoubtedly a perfect mix of timeless stunning and beautiful design and has a great menacing road prescence few cars can match.

[RustyMX5]

Surely this would be in with a shout



Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
