FD3S is brilliant!



So is the GC8 22B version.



The 8C is a beauty at every single angle.



I like my Astons plain and just plain stunning. DB9 FTW



No list of beautiful cars is ever complete without a lambo.

Yes, I left out Ferrari.

I think you must be gay or something...or a woman.

Whichever it is, you are full of fail.

The 8C may be beautiful, but it is a piece of shit machine/performance-wise.

Reading comprehension pwns you. This thread is about beauty, not about performance/engineering.

And it's a good thing that SpecC left out Ferrari since there hasnt been a modern one that is actually considered 'beautiful.' They're all right, but by no means drop dead gorgeous. I still believe that the last properly designed Ferrari was the 355.

Beauty IS subjective, but I still think it is in no way "beautiful."

The bug eyes make it look like a spider. The wing mirrors look like antennae.
It has a nose like Gonzo (yes, the muppet). This car has no real lines. It has no visual appeal. It's neither sexy nor aggressive. It looks silly.

Make no mistake. The car has PRESENCE. Its looks alone make a statement. We all want one because of its performance and its sound and its crazy styling. It's these qualities that make it such a successful hypercar.

But again, it's not beautiful. I think a lot of people are confusing desire over beauty.

Well, have you driven an 8C? I'm guessing no, so save that comment for when you actually experience one instead of relying on Top Gear. And this thread isn't about performance, its about looks!

yeah the 355 was the last Ferrari that was just 'WOW' to me. The new ones are kinda like 'Okay, you have a Ferrari. I don't want to hear about your gearbox, you twat'

If this thread asked for 'What is the most complete car' or 'What is the best performing car' then I would have a different list, but it asked for which ones look beautiful.

You haven't driven the 8C and you are calling it a POS performance-wise. Compare to what? You don't mention performance relative to ANYTHING. I didn't say the 8C was a slow car, or even if my car is faster. Nor did I even call out the performance to cost ratio.

So it looks like reading comprehension does "pwn" you. You as a Jetta owner own an even slower car than an 8C, let alone a 335, and you can't even take the hint that my comment is about you, the pot, calling the kettle "black." The fact that I am telling you this makes this more apparent, and sad.

Some of my favorites that I got a chance to see already











And nothing beat seeing the car where it belongs.

Bah. Calm down, calm down. I just wanted to get a rise out of you guys. I don't actually believe the 8C is a piece of shit.

I don't see what's wrong with having a Jetta dude...It's to take me through college...4 year lease.

Wish we had Alfa's over here

I love watching this vid just for the sound the 8C makes...

The 8C is one of the best looking cars from the past 20 years for sure. I heard that the handling characteristics suck though.

Watch the top gear video on it, it's garbage in anything but a straight line if that even.
