Sexiest Cars

[Bror Jace]

MSN Autos just posted this article of the sexiest (10? 12?) cars of all time.


MSN slideshow of nice cars

I like the list, for the most part, but they left off an OBVIOUS pick.

Apparently not that obvious! How about the Talbot Lago and seversal other at the same Petersen exhibit?

Hint: They picked the Ferrari 250 GTO. Not bad, but the car that beat it was also better looking.

Toyota 2000GT?

Jaguar E-Type signifies (and looks like one too) biggest manhood on the planet

 

[Paul56]

Ferrari F430 Spider

 

[Bror Jace]

Wow, no one knows which care beat the famed Ferrari 250 GTO? The car that drove Ferrari to quit racing in the GT Class at the end of 1964?

There are only 6 original. One just went for $7.25M at auction about a year ago.

that list is horrible, I agree with about 2 of those

911 turbo and Cobra

There are so many good looking ferrari's from the past, or older Benz's that blow away almost every car on that list

beauty is in the eye of the beholder though

not too mention some newer cars that look pretty [censored] good, like the Mosler MT900 or Saleen s7. Porsche Carrera GT, Zonda, SLR is kinda cool looking too.

Thanks saaber1, I did a search on the word "sexiest" and that thread did not come up.

I figured someone would have picked my dream car in a thread 5 pages long ... but they did not. Problem is the car had such a special niche for just two years, it is almost forgotten by most auto enthusiasts.

After lusting after various makes and models since I was a teenager, I keep coming back to the 1964-5 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe as the best-looking car of all time.

Here is a page with lots of pictures and its short (but successful) racing history:

One of the best pictures of this car is here (warning: very large, high-res pic 2+ MB):

Audi R8 would have made my list.

 

[Cogito]

I agree with Kiwi. For its age the Talbot Lago is one slick machine.

Especially the one they customized for "You Only Live Twice."

I like how they mentioned the 911 and the Vanquish; another one I like is DeLorean DMC 12.
