I personally would select a different color but it makes Danger happy.

I've never found Porsches to be beautiful, especially the 911. Some are cool looking, like the Boxster concept, the 904 and the 959, but not in a curvy, feminine way, like the Italians do it.

-The Miura is definitely up there.



-I've seen the 250GTO in person and that car is gorgeous.



-I just went for a ride in a white 308GTB, that car is so small but has a huge presence, it's on my list.



-It's styling inspiration, the 512BB is awesome as well.



-I've seen the McLaren F1 in person, it's startling how great looking it is in real life.



-The original Lotus Elan, a rare good looking Lotus for the 60's and 70's (most were form follows function)



-Tommy Kaira ZZII



-I'd also put the 3rd generation Rx-7 and the Toyota 2000GT on my list.





-Anything Aston Martin ever made

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the inspiration for the Muira design, namely - the '66 Ford GT40 Mk I (w/ Gurney bubble)



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

Cheers!
