What's the best looking car ever made?


Recommended Posts

After reading through some of the other ugly thread, I thought i'd create a nice car thread.

Audi cars (the later ones) seem to look nicer to. Even their "family" cars look okay.

Bugatti Veyron is another nice looking car.

A number plate would spoil that though ^

I have always liked the front of BMW's. They look like animals:

Boo on the Veyron. It is a stunning piece of engineering, but I don't find it attractive. I would rather look at it's engine than it's body.

I agree on the Audi's. All their cars have always been attractive. I have a 85 Quattro and it still looks good even 20 years down the road.

For me the pinnacle was the early 60's Lotus Elan. Simple, elegant, sporty, classic.

I also submit the 3rd generation RX-7 as a contender. The new Aston Martin DB9's are great looking also. You didn't specify production cars, so the Ford GT40 (in Gulf livery) has a spot in my heart. Too many good cars out there really to specify even just a few. I could probably come up with 20 that could compete and I already know that I'm missing some obvious ones.

Edit: Bah, I knew I was forgetting some obvious ones. Ferrari Dino 308 jumped to mind.

I've always thought the Veyron is insanely ugly... nice piece of engineering though.

Here's my picks:

Audi A4 B8.

Despite what people says, I actually like the new TSX (Real life is way better than the pics). The driving dynamics are meh though.

That's my 07 Honda Civic (8th gen)

Honda Accord Coupe (Looks really nice in real life).

The Lexus IS250 isn't bad, wouldn't drive one though.

Infiniti G37.

That's about it for now, haha.

i see most of you have fallen into audi's marketing plot

everybody thinks they are cool, cos they are in the movies and on tv....

but the truth is, all their models LOOK THE SAME, from a distance you have no idea which model it is until it comes close enough for you to read the badge!

And i hate those christmas lights they put on their cars!

I would vote for the mercedes SL (not the face lifted one)

And the Aston Martin DP9 and Jaguar XK

Easy :)

If this car looks great on photo, it looks even greater live. Everybody looks at you when you're driving one... I talk from experience, its an amazing car at all levels.

In the "affordable" group, I really love my Rover 45 or my girlfriend's BMW 318

Edited by PT 13

my overall favorite super car (and Ferrari's masterpiece) is the...

"Ferrari F40" (feels like a gutted out race car ;) ) , which i consider to be the best super car ever made and it was also the first production car to break the 200mph barrier.

plus it has great sound to, especially the racing version called the 'Ferrari F40 LM'

if your looking at 'muscle cars' i would either choose the Shelby GT500 (1967-68) or the Shelby Cobra (of the 1960's)

as far as 'Jap Cars'... i choose NONE cause they all sound like crap and i cant take them seriously in terms of performance with those crappy 4-cyl engines.

I hear that, the 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is just about my most favorite car of all time :yes:

also i guess i should be even more specific... i prefer the body style of the GT500 from the 2000 movie 'gone in 60 seconds' (i.e. Eleanor)

but yeah... even stock ones are great ;)

While the new Eleanor is great looking also. I prefer the original Eleanor's body style much more. I'd even go with the black and yellow paint.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The $1,428 option The Steam Hardware lineup that Valve announced last year is slowly starting to roll out. Following the recent Steam Controller launch, Valve has now confirmed the price of the Steam Machine, its all-in-one console-like solution for PC gaming in the living room. There are currently four variants being presented, with only the storage and the included controller being the biggest differences. All of the Steam Machines have the same internals consisting of a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU with six cores and 12 threads, an RDNA 3 28CU GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all inside the familiar box Valve has been showing off for months now. The Steam Machine base model starts at $1,049. This has a 512GB NVMe SSD but does not come with a Steam Controller. Keep in mind that storage can be expanded with the microSD card slot too. Next, the $1,128 model has the exact same storage as the previous one but it does come with the new Steam Controller. If you need the Steam Machine to have more storage for games and apps than that, then the 2TB tiers are also available. The $1,349 Steam Machine has no controller once again, but it does ship with two extra faceplates (red fabric and solid walnut) to replace the standard black one. The final option costs $1,428, and it adds the controller back into the bundle. The Steam Machine ships with the Linux-based SteamOS. The box has a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0, as well as one USB-C and four USB-A ports. Keep in mind that when purchasing standalone, the Steam Controller has a $100 price tag. With the above bundles, that drops to $80. It's a rather expensive machine for the internals it is touting, though the design and small form factor do help it somewhat. However, at the same time, the lack of upgradability hurts it. Valve says the ongoing parts shortages and massive price hikes for memory were the leading causes for this price. "The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable," added the company. "So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months." Valve wants interested gamers to reserve it now to get the chance to pre-order a Steam Machine starting June 25, with shipping starting on June 29. Head here to sign up. The invites to buy it will be sent in a randomized order.
    • What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, Natural gas plants use about 2,803 gallons of water per megawatt-hour produced, which is significantly less than coal-fired plants that use around 19,185 gallons per megawatt-hour. Overall, natural gas plants are more water-efficient, using 584% less water than traditional power plants on average. AI generated
