Are car designs going backwards or forwards?
Every car has a balance of straight lines and curved and a clay model can change your opinion with just a few scrapes here and there... Symmetry? In your face? Sexxy? So out of 10 and why? Whats the best design car so far this century? Take into account a photo from 4 angles... i) front ii) side iii) obliquely from front iv) obliquely from rear Yeh sure; some we hate but some we love. Prototype designs accepted eh? |

QUOTE(JAS-25T @ 11 Jul 2008, 11:01 AM)  So we are only taking in to consideration looks? From a design blueprint - yes. We usually take pics of our cars from 4 angles to shed the best subjective feel. I'm ignoring any overhead shot... Cheers |

BTW - this century is only 8yrs old...........................
not many cars that are "the best looking design" award worthy in recent times............ James already mentioned most of them. The F430 is definately one of them -------------------- Sponsor me! - click the banner |

Bugatti Veyron...sex from any angle.
I know it's a retro design but the GT-GT40 is hard to beat in my eyes -------------------- Scientists taught a monkey to type, I ask to what end?

MMM
I have to say the last few models of Lamborghini Countach.... that car alone sparked my interest in cars in general, and I wanted one so bad I even considered getting a Fiero kit and doing the entire thing myself (Which is a big call cause I'm mechanically dyslexic) From the outside, its still one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen. I STILL want one, in spite of all the drawbacks of owning one (and that particular list is long).... the interior is a huge disappointment, buf if you have a lamborghini then you generally have enough money to drop $40k on a custom interior ;P Time hasnt been kind to the ol' countach but for simple raw sex appeal, its at the top. Failing the Countach, the AC Shelby Cobra was always nice
