The most beautiful roadcar ever made - entries

[aNOBLEman]

I think the fun is in drawing up the list and bringing all those beautiful cars together in one thread. The ultimate vote results will always be a sort of a setback. Let's not vote at all

I agree It's fun to just see pictures of all the beautiful cars, and everyone's takes on them.

And I would like to nominate another beauty I came across once while using the random car function of the UCP car search, the Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe. Photo again courtesy of UCP.

Oh dear. Oh my lord. I didn't know that existed. I think you've changed my life a bit. It looks like one of those "modern take on a classic shape" sort of things (like the Holden Efigy), but it's not. It looks fantastic!

I wouldn't have thought of it, but credit must go to the Citroen - it is a really, really nice car.

^^^ Please explain? BMW's 507 is iconic precisely because it doesn't copy any of it's competitors, certainly nothing from Mercedes.

[Brix]

There are some similarities in body design.
But as i wrote, this is a subjective opinion, and is probably based around that i love the 300SL, and therefor feel that the 507 is a coupe of the first sportscar, which came 2 years earlier - The SL.

Which leeds me to thinking. Maybe we should put the cars in era's or decades?

[TVR IS KING]

After seeing the Merc above, I'd have to also suggest the Merc 300SL. It's just stunning, and it was what, the fastest road car in the world at the time? Incredible. Not that its speed has anything to do with its looks, but it is a looker.

I'm going for something a bit different although not quite sure if it fits with the rules.

The Isdera Commendatore 112i, loved it from the moment i saw it, the design details make this car, the red chassis, the way the doors and engine hood is 'cut' in the shape, the rear view mirror, etc.

If it can't be that one i vote for the TVR Sagaris.

Though beautiful is entirely the wrong word to describe it, handsome works a little better, the 1965 Buick Riviera is one of my favorites.


An honorable mention goes to another car that isn't strictly beautiful but has one of the most charismatic designs of all time; the Giulia GT.

saw a few of this style alfa on the weekend, one of which was for sale.
tempting

OT: this is actually an impossible date with people's different tastes but still nice to see the examples put forward!

Second that... clutch, what are prices like for step-nose Alfas down under?

probably ridiculous.. the one for sale merely had an EOI sticker on it with contact details.
for an equivalent idea of price probably wouldn't pay more than a specced up honda jazz on the non-special models? i mean it sure as shit wasn't a giula sprint but had the same nice body shape.

The Lincoln Continental and the Oldsmobile Toronado should feature too. But they aren't really in the same league as some of the other cars.
