Marcello Gandini is one of the world's celebrated design geniuses. But which out of all his accomplishment is best looking for you? this is purely asthetic. Performance really doesn't count.

By the way what happened to mr Gandini?
I heard that he runs a Carrozzeria somewhere.

The Diablo by far, although im usually not into this"look at me!!!!!"-look, the diablo is the most exotic-looking car ive ever seen, i just love it.

^^^Well, that's basically the Diablo before Chrysler touched it. :D

It's a very hard poll though. I there are so many drop-dead gorgeous cars in that line-up! I had to decide between the Carabo, Miura, Countach, Diablo and Stratos. It was hard, but in the end I chose for the Miura. If I had to vote tomorrow or next week I might vote otherwise... It's so damn close.

Yes I left it out because of its identity...a forgotten supercar

V16 is amazing but yes...a very apparent Diablo derivitive...or the other way around

That is such bollocks I will let you do some research before I expose your lack of Italian super-car heritage knowledge...

Uhm - the V16T is NOT a Diablo derivative.

It is it's own car in it's own right.

The reason it looks like a Diablo - is Gandini penned it...

C'mone fellas - just admit y'all are mistaken and we can move on... :lol: - or a "carpet bombing" may be in order... ;)

Back on topic, the CM V16T gets my vote, as it was a great independant statement that still retained his signature - showing that the success of the Lamborghini look was more his than the sum of the parts...

man, im glad the V16T is not the diablo, those quat headlights look like absolute SHIT, and I prefer the diablo's sweeping back to that ones. Thats why I chose the diablo. I wouldnt have chosen it if this wasnt about looks, but the diablo looks stunning, especially the SV models. The Lancia Delta would get my "Bang for the Buck" vote, and teh EB110 would get my vote for most creative design.
