    Any one of a number of modern Astons

    An instant classic. Was part of most kids bedroom walls in the 1980's.

    Never thought there were so bloody many NACA Ducts on it though.

    It's interesting the number of cars from the Italian Marques. From Ferrari right down to the every day marques of Fiat and Lancia.

    In no particular order..

    Mazda RX-8 - Gorgeous sleek shape, nice dimensions and some very nice hidden details in its design

    E46 BMW M3 - Clean, classy well proportioned and yet subtly aggressive looking, just cant fault it.

    Lambo Murcielago - just for the menacing stance!


    Also the early pop-up model Honda NSX was/is quite a nice shape

    While I dont really agree its a good looking car in the sense the Volvo P1800 is flatout "pretty", a real photo of it (vs that old PR concepty thing that floats around) does have a harsh and cool German industrial aura about it:

    Personally, I think the lines and proportion on them are beautiful. Though, for some unfathomable reason, they've been an acquired taste for most people ever since they were launched.

    The BMW 8 Series was in my opinion a beautiful ending to an era of Klaus Luthe styled BMW's.

    In no particular order:

    BMW E30 M3
    Lambo Gallardo
    Porsche 911 (the one Will Smith drove in Bad Boys, whatever the model number for that one was)


    There's a picture a few pages back of a Renault 4CV, it looks like the love child of a VW Beetle and a Morris Minor!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    no1 - Diablo 6.0
    no2 - Gallardo LP560-4
    no3 - Miura

    I'm biased being a Lambo fan though.

    Yeah, I agree. My girlfriend hates it though, I dont think the lines agree with ladyfolk at all.
