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.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
