My vote goes for the McLaren F1. This is hands down the prettiest car in my book.

From what's listed, that's a tough one. Most likely the Carrera GT. Although the Aston Martin DB7 has beautiful lines, the DBR1 is classic, the 360GT is aggressive, and you can't deny the attraction of the almighty 250 GTO.

Not on the list, I love the Ferrari 250GT SWB California Spyder and my all time favorite: the Ferrari F-40! (I think "Matrix" would agree with this too)


Another Beauty:


What about putting a Ferrari 275 GTB/4, Porsche 906, and Pagani Zonda to the list.

Muz, oh shiet... Everytime I make a poll comparing cars, I forget an obvious contender. Sometimes I forget the Z8, or the F40... this time the McLaren...

How about this, if you like the McLaren F1, vote for the 250 GT Lusso.
Yeah, I saw that. I guess if I was really looking for 800+ hp I would just pony up for the Gemballa 750 they just tested in Excellence magazine. 690+ whp = 854 hp, 220+ mph top speed and only $260,000 The only thing is that it has a ridiculous wing on it (but unlike several ricer cars, they said they really did need this one at 210 mph +). Sold to some prince in Dubai. I guess if the Sultan of Brunei can have gold plated Ferraris you need to have a 230 mph car for the desert. If you have money to piss away, might as well go all the way. I guess they can make any car fast. Maybe the 1000+ hp Viper, or the Veilside 1100 hp Supra. Why not (since we are day dreaming.

You left out too many good choices - although the GTO is high on my list.

Impossible to pick the worlds most beautiful car. There are and have been so many beautiful cars it is impossible to choose one. Many are missing from your list.

Ack, only the Miura even makes my top 5!!!

I agree, there are too many beautiful cars to pick from just 10. For example, some of the omissions that haven't been pointed out yet:

BMW 507 roadster
Ferrari Daytona Spider
Jag E-Type
Ferrari 288 GTO (I think its the ultimate looker among the "hot performer" Ferraris like the F40, F50 and Enzo)
Shelby Mustang GT350 (ever seen one in mint condition?)
57 Corvette Convertible (maybe?)

And of course, there are a lot more, some even relatively affordable :-)

UL

p.s. - looking at some of the omissions I mentioned, I noticed a lot of roadsters. And to think that 3 years ago I really didn't consider roadsters viable cars for me. How the S2000 has changed me :-)

Sorry guys, the poll options max out at 10... so I was a bit limited.

I guess I could've left out the Lusso, Miura, and the Zagato... I've forgotten about the almighty 288 GTO, the GT2, etc. IMO, the F40 is one of the cars that only looks good because of its performance...

I would add the Ferrari 250 SWB to the list as it defines what Ferrari is all about along with classic 'Ferrari' Pininfarina styling.
Since it's not on the list and we are choosing beautiful (& not most powerful, fastest or aggressive), I'll pick the Lusso.
