Tamora for sheer brutality, Astons for pure sex appeal (and because the old man has one).

What about the car that Evo drove in Sweden when it was snowing? Something like gronesgiegg or something, they were comparing it with the F1 as it had 700bhp?

Very sexy looking.

My top ten, in order!

1. Aston Martin Vanquish - approaches perfection.
2. Aston Martin DB7 Vantage - not so good to drive, but beautiful!
3. TVR Tuscan S (in black) - do cars come any meaner? Also has the best interior in the world IMO.
4. McLaren F1 LM - beauty through functional design.
5. Aston Martin DB5 - don't need to say anything about this one.
6. Ferrari 355 - makes the 360 look crass.
7. Ferrari F40 - another beauty through functional design.
8. Porsche Carrera GT - not in production yet but is a mean looker.
9. TVR Chimaera - I have one so am biased, but it is stunning.
10. Lamborghini Murcielago - might not be able to spell it, but it's a stunning piece of design!

Personally, I don't consider the original TVR Speed 12 'beautiful' as such, but I do consider it to be the most outrageous looking car ever 'made'. Plus, the 880bhp helps as well! Chrysler Viper is quite tasty in an obvious kind of way, but I wouldn't consider it beautiful.

Ugly cars? Fiat Multipla. Ford Scorpio. Most Yank Tanks.

NB: I'm open to suggestions of cars I may have missed both beautiful and ugly!

You know when you see something that's just so odd looking your eyes are drawn to it?
