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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
