I think the following are glorious examples:

1) The front of the Aston Martin DB9
2) The doors on a Koenigsegg (dihedral synchro-helix actuation...even the name is cool)
3) The side of a Bently Continental GT
4) The Zonda (both C12S and F) from every angle - simply the most exsquisitly beautiful modern car.

Ill have to vote for the DB9 closelly followed by the Murcielago!

P.S. I hope this isnt a repost

car design has not been forgotten at all. more effort is being put into car design than ever before. what has changed is all the factors, mainly safety that the designers have to conform too....

but the thing is the ford gt is being recalled because the upper A arms crack

I think they only had one, maybe two instances of that. They're just recalling them all to be safe

I'd have to also agree on the murc with Demon, rear 3/4 with rear air vents open :shock:

The cars that get me on that aesthetic/emotional level:
AMDB9
TVR Tuscan S and Sagaris
CC8S and CCR
Zonda C12S
Gallardo and Murcielago (w/ Miura Corse package)

Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale was designed by god and shall someday be mine.

Any modern Aston Martin. IT is the only manucaturer that can design cars these days, IMO, I know they all look pretty similair and are based on the scheme, but they are astonishing and will age well. Oh yeah, and how can I not mention the Alfa Romeo Brera.

I hate it from the side

The rest is perfect

saadie · 02-15-2005, 07:08 AM

^^ the zonda or koenigsegg ?

artypossum · 02-15-2005, 02:02 PM

How could I forget the new Brera, that is the car that will secure Alfa as the maker a proper sports car. Absolutely beautiful!

Koenigsegg. Well, I don't exactly hate it but something in the proportions doesn't seem right :/ The Zonda however is bespoke.

One of the sexiest shapes in modern auto indusry IMO:

From the "car as a whole" perspective, the AM DB7, DB9, AMV8, Vanquish, Jag XKR-R,, Ford GT, Ford Mustang, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 997, Carrera GT, TVR Tuscan 2, Sagaris, and the Lotus Exige MkII/ Sport Exige give me hope....but the one item that really sticks out in my mind as a fabulous piece of design is this:

It just oozes Italian Flair like nothing else in recent memory.
