Certainly one of the most beautiful cars of all-time!

Cheers!

....or nearly everything with Gulf livery for that matter

My vote would go to the 35/36 Auburn Speedster as the most beautiful awesomely-breathtaking car ever. In blue, please.

2nd place would go to a late-20's Bugatti Racer. Gotta be green.

After that, any of the Dusenbergs.

Put a roof on the Boxster and you have the Cayman that has a distinctive style all its own. I'd also vote for the CGT....

No offence to all the grand pa out there but as much as I try to dig old models, the modern cars are winning by far Here goes a Zonda (Pagani)... that thing was spinning on our circuit a few weekends ago. Insane quality, worth a few million$

I can't wait to see a 918RSR in person.

Two weeks ago I saw a couple of the Ferrari 458's. Spectacular!
I've also got a soft spot for the F355 in Fly Yellow

The 512BB, in red of course

Last time I've checked she is still sitting here in Shanghai right into the dealer's show room - welcome to Shanghai anytime mate!

You don't want to see this car in person NOR hear it reving-up believe me... I had issues sleeping on that same night :/ I was in the front crowd when the picture you advertised was taken haha! Was at the our last auto-show (small world!). They rev-ed that babe at 10k+ rpm right there on the podium (i.e. indoor). Sick ********************

One of the most overlooked and beautiful cars ever made was the 1967 Toyota 2000GT.

The Miura is a gorgeous car too.

Old:
Ferrari 250 GT California

That's not a Zonda. It's a Grumpert.

You make a statement starting with 'No offense', then inject a derogatory, age-discriminative remark like 'grand pa' ...??

No offense...?? I take great offense... and I'm not even a 'grand pa'. There is no cause to inject age into the topic, unless you're that insecure about your own age.

I (and many others here) lived through the Golden Age of the automobile (1955-1975), got my license smack in the middle of it. At the same time, your people were riding bicycles, chanting, waving around little Red books and shooting people for listening to Beatles records or drinking a Coke!

You punk-ass youngster don't know the first thing about cars, and your statement about the Pagani Zonda proves it (and FYI, it's not even a Pagani in your pic).

The Zonda is a capable car, even an extremely capable car. But one of the most beautiful of all-time...?? Hardly, and it shows how easily your generation can be lured by the power of Marketing, and reject anything produced before 1990 without even trying to keep an open mind.

Don't bother to reply lest you confirm that what I say is correct and risk sounding even more the fool!

Cheers!

[madmods]

I believe I owe you and others very sincere apologies for the comment. Agreed, inappropriate and it won't happen again.

Also, an apology for the lack of attention I put into selecting/uploading pictures on the forum. Here goes the "Zonda" from Pagani at the same event.

Sorry mate, I'm not Chinese and didn't know about this. I just happen to be temporarily relocated in Shanghai, China for professional reasons. Next posting will be in 2016 in Madrid, Spain. Life in a suitcase unfortunately.... but just not big enough for all the cars out there :/

I do not think his "grandpa" comment was as malicious as you are making it out to be and to attack him and make desparaging remarks regarding his "supposed" ethnicity and your presumed inferiority of them was uncalled for.

No offence whippersnapper, but that looks nothing like a Pagani Zonda.

This does...

[jdiba]

Oh I like the newer cars. Just think some of them should be traveling UP instead of
FORWARD

[jdiba]

On 2nd thought I'd have to throw a FORD GT in there as well. (Even though it looks
like a ripoff of the Porsche 904 GTS).

[papasmurf]

are vintage supercars and exotics and part of what makes them beautiful at least in some cases is that they are so atypical to what you see on the street on a daily basis...it is the "exoticness" (just coined the word) that in part makes them attractive. I am going to break with tradition somewhat and go with a few that are a bit more pedestrian.

Datsun 240Z...lowered slightly with a pair of panasport mini lites, rocker decals, and with a 70's orange, yellow, or green paint color. The lines are vaguely similar to a ferrari 250 gto. No spoilers, no bodykits...just the way it left the factory.

2nd Generation 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX...The 2 seat version...the 2+2 is a mistake IMO. I owned one for 6 years before the boxster and it was a great car. People were always asking me what it was and never could believe it was a 15+ year old design. The arch of the side/quarter window is unique and the car has a very muscular stance even though it is pretty much slab sided with no fender flares. Automobile I think voted it as one of the 25 most beautiful cars of all time. Regret selling it every day.

Karmann Ghia...hard to explain...it just looks like so much more than a VW.

Porsche 993 series...any of the series are awesome but like many the twin turbo reigns supreme in my heart.

[madmods]

I'd say this one ranks top in my list of "most gorgeous vehicle of all time". That's what got me into cars haha!
