11/10/2011 8:38:25 PM

I came here to post the FD, so I'll give another fine example.

also, I was in love with the diablo for a long time.

11/10/2011 8:51:42 PM

I divide supercars into 3 types based on morphology:

[mostly] aggressive/macho
[mostly] feminine/curvy
[almost equal] mix of aggressive and feminine

The first category is mostly populated with Lambos, and the Aventador would definitely be among the top choices in the first category,
but I might just place the Murcielago equal to or above it, specifically the LP670-4 SuperVeloce and the original Murcielago, and perhaps
one of the last iterations of the Gallardo. Not many old cars come to mind in this category, except the Countach, or for that matter, non-Lambos from any era.

In the second category you have most Ferraris, Astons, and Porsches. Among modern cars,
the F355, Vanquish, Virage (from 90s), DBS, Continental GT, MB SLS AMG, Pagani Zonda, and Carrera GT come to mind.
Also Ford GT. Also Porsche 911 991. Also Jaguar XKR. Oh, and also the Ferrari F40!
Too many old exotics here, and I am not up to speed with the names of old ones, but I would say many
Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos, Astons, and perhaps Porsches from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

Third category, I can think of the R8, Viper, Maserati GranTurismo, and LFA. Also Veyron SuperSport. Zonda and F40 sometimes fall in this category, in my mind.

And that's just supercars. Lesser beasts (M3, Integra, etc), and luxury sedans (Jaguar XJ, Bentley, etc) are whole different cans of worms, not to mention, classic cars.

FD - needs to be lowered. pop-up headlights (when up) suck for looks

shelby shooting brake thing? - butt's too big

old school ferrari thing - there's nothing pretty about those proportions

458 italia - pretty damn cool. until an aventador shows up

red ford race car - there's nothing pretty about those proportions (and that goes for all the rest of the ferraris, lamborghinis, and what-have-you from that era)

miura - looks like some kind of frog/newt monster, although is a headlamp redesign away from truly beautiful

lotus esprit - does not stand the test of time... at all

z3 coupe? - there's nothing pretty about those proportions. also suffers from sedan-front-end-stuck-on-a-sporty-profile syndrome

240z - pretty damn hot but still has nothing on the aventador

lancia rally car - looks ridiculous. apples to oranges.

superbirds - awful proportions, awful wings. chargers look 10x better.

diablo - pretty damn hot but still has nothing on the aventador. i may like it more than the murcielago, at least. may.

superveloce - has weird droopy mouth look going on

^well the headlamps are huge, the gaping hole in the front fenders is weird, not a fan of the fender-mounted mirrors, the glass is all kinds of funky, the rear is all bulbous. it looks like a car drawn by a kid who can't draw, after watching a bunch of Speed Racer

tchenku is just trolling...

By the way, that "old school ferrari thing" is an Alfa Romeo Stradale. The front grill should have been a give away on the maker... You should really know WHAT the car is before you criticize it. It's a gorgeous car! Look at all those curves! One thing vehicles today lack are CURVES. The Stradale is so sleek and beautiful... They Daytona posted by sumfoo1 is another favorite of mine. The Ferrari 250 GTO (I believe the originator of this coupe styling) is beautiful, however, the Alfa Romeo is just slightly more voluptuous. A man who can't appreciate curves is pretty imo... You should also learn in what context to use the saying "apples to oranges.."



When you get done sucking some Aventador cock, you are welcome to join back in to the discussion.


Fender-mounted mirrors are the SHIT. Have you ever driven a car with one? having the mirrors farther forward on the vehicle help with 2 things:
1. You don't have to adjust your head from viewing the road ahead to look in your mirror
2. No blinds spots.

While it may look "funky" it's simply because we aren't used to that adaptation of mirrors. I know that old school Japanese cars had mirrors adapted this way. I don't believe there's a modern day car like this anymore

What the hell is beautiful about a box car? That Rolls Royce Barker Saloon is the best-looking car...












...if you were comparing it to enclosed golf carts...

I was with you until you made fun of the Rolls.

So you mock someone because they can't see the beauty in cars from the 50s and 60s, but then you go ahead
and mock someone because they *do* see beauty in cars from the 20s... and it happens to be the same someone!!!11

Awesome.

I apologize tchenku

I like the look of Lambos, but only when they're sitting still or cruising. Something about the design just falls to pieces when its leaning into a corner at speed.

11/11/2011 12:19:28 AM

i dont waste effort trolling. those are my real thoughts on those cars.

Quote :

"You should really know WHAT the car is before you criticize it"

no. to me, the car's aesthetics has to be able to stand on its own, regardless of make, sportiness, lap times, pedigree. I don't car if it's an Alfa or a Daewoo for this discussion.

Quote :

"what context to use the saying "apples to oranges..""

a hugely fender flared, function-over-form, wrc/group B/etc caricature of a car is pretty different from the scope of this thread, I'd say. If some ricer had done that to his car, there's no way anyone would say he's done it up beautifully. I do think the glass on it is pretty unique.

I do see beauty in cars from the 50s and 60s, just not those race cars.


Jaguar XF - most beautiful sedan ever. I would have considered the XJ as well but its tail lights make no sense.

11/11/2011 5:40:22 AM

even today when i see one of these, i stop what im doing and drool.

11/11/2011 6:39:57 AM

^ LOL upon LOL, good sir
the maserati is indeed pretty bangin.

11/11/2011 7:47:09 AM

Just to let everyone know, the Alfa Stradale is a road car (VERY limited production) and not a race car.

From the 60's I'd have to go with a Jaguar MK II.



Even better, one with fender mounted mirrors!!!



I'm surprised the Old MB Gull wing hasn't been mentioned yet...

And no love yet for the E Type??







Obviously nobody is right or wrong as styling is an opinion. The Italia has some nice curves but I think the front of the car is hideous and ruins it all for me.

I like the FD but i don't think its top 5.. but probably top 10

I like the LF-A look as well as the FR-S look.. both better then the FD

11/11/2011 10:23:32 AM

^I disagree and also admit that I love the FD. However if we're talking about the best looking Japanese car (that's somewhat contemporary)...

11/11/2011 10:28:52 AM

other cars to consider



(contemporary made me think of it)

I love the 2000gt



(this coming from a '57 t-bird owner i love my bird but it no longer makes me double-take)


and this starliner

Definitely agree on the 250GTO, the E-Type and Mark II, and the 2000GT.

My favorite:


I do also like the BMW E9, and its successor E24:

"Jaguar XF - most beautiful sedan ever. I would have considered the XJ as well but its tail lights make no sense."

Agreed about the new XJ... the outline is beautiful, the sides are beautiful, the front end is macho sexy... but what's up with the vertical tail lights? Slap the XF's tail lights onto the XJ and seriously it would be one of the hottest modern sedans ever.

As for the XF, the new[er] one (since April, actually) has the same headlights as the XJ, which, IMO, makes it even hotter. Here is the XF and the XFR:






Spyshot of upcoming XFR-S:




Amazingly gorgeous (sans the vertical tail lights, as mentioned earlier):






Gorgeous family!








The new supercar-lite from Jaguar, the C-X16 Concept, which will basically look the same when produced.








But as far as "most beautiful sedan ever" goes, or at least most beautiful Jag sedan, I would without a doubt go with the XJR Portfolio:

11/11/2011 5:12:01 PM

I didn't go far enough down the Jag road, evidently. I will see you your XJR Portfolio and raise you an XJ12C:


And, for the record, I don't mind the vertical tails on the current XJ.

11/11/2011 5:32:04 PM

^ nice!!! and i can't really compare that with the portfolio and declare a single winner....

mine is a gorgeous modern interpretation of the same design, so i don't see them as distinct enough to compare them.

11/11/2011 6:04:10 PM

The new jags look awesome the old ones look like doodoo
