there is no such thing called the most beautiful car in the world , it's a relative issue .. a matter of taste .
i personally love the Ferrari F430 ..

can Desire be engineered ?
VW GTI MkV or the Ferrari 250 GTO.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
BMW M3 for me. (2nd - Lamborghini Miura (original), 3rd - 2000 Rolls Royce Corniche 4th - Lamborghini Gallardo)

I really really love cars especially antique ones and the question gave me a change to google some images and be nostalgic.
I suppose some would favor the new designs and there is much to be said in their favor but my personal favorite is the Jaguar E type.

I selected the 250 GTO, but only because it's closest to my top picks: 250 GT Cabriolet Series I, 250 California Spyder LWB and 250 SWB Berlinetta.
Plus I noticed there weren't any pre-war cars on that list. In that case most of the Alfa-Romeo 2.9s and some of the Bugatti Type 57s would be on my list. And for the Americans car lovers any Duesenberg with a Murphy body.
There's a '37 Cadillac V-16 roadster that is (was?) at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville, CA. It was built for a Swiss gentryman and playboy and bodied by a local coachbuilder who was inspired by Figoni + Falaschi's amazing, flowing designs. I'd seen this car in pictures before, but when I actually saw the car in person, it was beyond words. This thing has an awesome presence - I was nearly reduced to tears when I saw the car. Here's a before and current photo, the latter of which was taken at the Blackhawk Auto Museum, exactly as I saw the car. I also included a link to the history of her.

Well...styling is so subjective it's hard to grade on an absolute scale...it's a car that really doesn't show up well in photos either. Blackhawk's full of absolutely drop dead gorgeous Rollers, Delahayes, Ferraris, Duesenbergs, you name it...and maybe it's the setting (this Cad gets the crown jewel setting of the whole museum, the cars on the lower floor get the shaft compared to the cars on the upper deck), but they just didn't come across with the presence of this car. Even with the original owner standing next to it, you don't realize just how big this car is until you stand next to it...
In all fairness, though, my next fav there was a big purplish-pinkish Delahaye...

Out of those, I picked the Miura and the Esprit.
Although if the 250 line had been represented by a 250 GT Pininfarina 2+2 I'd have selected that one in a heartbeat.

Out of those I picked the DB7, Miura, 250 GTO (although I think the GT SWB is even prettier) and the Carrera GT
for me it has to be a ferrari or an austin martin or the carrera gt.
i think the f-50 and the 288 gto are the best to look at.
