What is the most beautiful car you have ever seen?

[thom]

Sorry, this topic may have been posted already many times, but I'm interested in your tastes, chaps.
Here is my "favourites" list:
1) AC Cobra Coupe A98 (Le Mans 1964)
2) Cobra Daytona 1965
3) Ford GT40 mk2
4) Jaguar D-type and XKSS (without the dreadful windscreen of course!)
5) Maserati tipo 61 "Birdcage" and Maserati 450S
6) TVR Tuscan R
7) Lamborghini Miura
8) TVR Cerbera (first edition)

My TVR Chimaera when I picked it up from Team Central in 1996. No car will ever look as good.

Porsche 917, in any of its many and varied guises.

Lacia 037 Rally car - one of the road going homologation specials.

Lancia Delta S4 in road going trim - brutally ugly yet stunning at the same time.

The Mazda Rx-7 (s6) - what a Jap!
Griff and Tuscan too...
996 Porsche... mmm...
and how could i forget the new Holden Monaro!

oh sh*t!!!of course the RX-7!!! Sorry I forgot this one in my list

[pdavison]

Mercedes Gullwing - need I say more ?

Counting on those six numbers coming up...one for each car I would buy!

[dan]

Griff - Ok, I know, I'm biased, but it is still stunningly good looking, it took me 10 years to save up and I aint ever parting with it.

Audi Ur Quattro - Seriously hansome car with the performance and still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end when I hear one on full song.

Porsche 911 GT2 (993 I think) Those dead cool (straight from the race track) bolt on arched and that spoiler!!

Aston Martin V8 Vantage (c'89) An absolute MONSTER of a car totally brutal and at the time of build very British.

There are loads more but I'll leave those for another time.

Cheers Dan

Are you serious? The RX7 was a straight copy of the Porsche 924, they even altered the front air inlets to keep pace with Porsche design changes, it was the best bit of plagiarism until the MX5 copied the old Elan. Oh and notice how the new RX8 is an exact replica of the Honda S2000 but with a coupe body. I'm amazed Mazda get away with it!

sorry but
The BMW 507 is much better....

[trefor]

British - TVR Cerbera (closely followed by the Chimaera).
Italian - Pagani Zonda or F355
Japanese - The more recent Mazda RX7 (the curvy one) or the recent model Nissan 300ZX
4x4 - Unfortunately I quite like the BMW X5, sorry. I'll try to spend any spare cash on TVRs so that I can't afford an X5 though
