Top 25 Most Beautiful Cars Of All Time
 
About a year ago Automobile Magazine posted this column on their idea of the top 25 most beautiful ever. And due to the fact that everyone here seems to have a striking gorgeous car I'm interested in everyone's feedback.

ECB 08-30-2010 02:24 PM

I like the Gullwing,the Bimmer,the 275 GTB and the Countach......

maybe the Miura..

anything else is retro stuff I`m too young to appreciate

Zorro 08-30-2010 02:39 PM

DUDE! If you're gonna post a Daytona Spider, for the love of god don't post a goddam replica that made me barf all over my keyboard. Hell it's so bad I shat myself at the same time. Yeah. Both at the same time. That's how bad it is.

ECB 08-30-2010 02:51 PM

r - e - p for the sucker above :D

JonA85 08-30-2010 03:17 PM

Disagree

cartunes 08-30-2010 03:22 PM

nope fail list

Is this better? ;)

If the list only counts vintage cars, that's one thing but it's hard not to include the new Alfa 8C on that list.

boy_wonder 08-30-2010 03:57 PM

personally i would add Porsche Carrera GT in the first ten places.

If I'm not mistaken that is the replica that was built for Miami Vice- Thank you Alzilla for the redemption pic. It does look 100x better.

Chris@TheExperience 08-30-2010 04:11 PM

...and excellent call with the Alfa 8C- I'm actually surprised there were no Alfas on this list

The Carerra GT is beautiful, I am even a bigger fan of the new Hybrid Concept. FYI the list by Automobile Magazine is in no order.

The first car on Automobile's list is an Alfa.... And an 8C at that.


Carrera GT belongs on the list, as does a Zonda, imo.

Dave S 08-30-2010 04:52 PM

With the quality of that list, I wouldn't be surprised if they put the Pontiac Aztek on there as well.

Scootypuff Jr. 08-30-2010 05:04 PM

No F40...? Really?

And the 928 was one of the worst looking Porsches in my opinion.

burnzie 08-30-2010 05:12 PM

Wow.

http://images.loqu.com/contents/264/...09-08-29/7.jpg

Just wow.

Chris@TheExperience 08-30-2010 05:23 PM

yeah just realized there was an alfa, as far as the one above there are some questionables on there to say the least- the f40 is secks too i was limited to pics i could put up and the 25 took a really big chunk of the 35 limit- the aztek is gorgeous to the blind lol it was probably one of the ugliest cars ever infact i know it was on a list of ugliest just not sure where, thats why i can't understand how the BMW x6 is considered by some to be gorgeous, yes it has a BMW look but its general shape is that of the aztek.

Zorro 08-30-2010 05:31 PM

Why isn't this car on that list?

Look at the brownness of the exterior! The cow-print velours on the interior!!!!!!!!!

I'll take it with the snake.

theritz226 09-07-2010 06:16 PM

#20, my favorite!

McRae 09-07-2010 06:19 PM

i think this list is somewhat flawed...but thats just me...

joshg120 09-07-2010 06:28 PM

how high were the guys who made this list?

MeanMachine 09-07-2010 06:42 PM

They need to have a 355 in that list

McRae 09-07-2010 06:46 PM

yes!!!

Mini George 09-07-2010 07:34 PM

I disagree with most of that list

Carrera 09-07-2010 08:16 PM

That's a horrible list- not gonna lie.

We should have a thread/poll to find the 20 most beautiful cars according to the team. I think that's a good idea...

Carrera GT gets the first spot... ;)

I couldn't make it though because every car in the poll would be a Porsche, and maybe a Ferrari.

The Alfa 8C definetly deserves a spot on the list.

Let's just hope it has a hand print on the clear-coat.

I think it was Alex who posted about that. I did some research and found out that the workers put their hand on the wet paint of the Alfa 8C to designate who hand painted the car. You know, kind of like Bentley has a plaque on the engine with the person who built it(?), this is kind of the same thing, but just with hand prints.

Agreed 100%

HBdirtbag 09-07-2010 09:07 PM

Miura ftw

keprunited8 09-07-2010 09:57 PM

Most Important does NOT equal most beautiful...that seems to me where they went wrong with this list...

Supergoji 03-01-2011 03:44 PM

The 300zx 100% belongs on that list

jenk12m 03-01-2011 03:51 PM

#22 does not belong at all

Barrister 03-01-2011 03:52 PM

By its very nature the list is totally subjective.

Ynot 03-01-2011 04:15 PM

Not a big classic guy, besides the 300SL Gullwing, none of the car on that list do anything for me. I'm all about newer technology and new designs.

Alex12de 03-01-2011 04:20 PM

The Nissan is completely out of the list, and generally the list is quite wrong i mean you put a Nissan and you dont put a Ferrari 250 GTO or GT Lusso? meh

McRae 03-01-2011 05:02 PM

certainly

A3aan 03-01-2011 05:06 PM

None of those 25 come even close to "kinda nice" for me..

Blue4reF1 03-01-2011 08:53 PM

355, F40, DB9, and 8C. Missing those.

JonA85 03-01-2011 08:59 PM

And CGT

I am the complete opposite. The CGT, 911 Sport Classic, and the the Zonda R are about the only modern cars that do anything for me.
