I used to think that the Lamborghinis hold this title.... until the Maserati GranTurismo came along. Now that is one car that exudes class.

Hi all I decided to start a thread to discuss YOUR opinions of the most beautiful continental car ever made, here's mine,

 

Lotus Esprit V8

 

I agree the Esprit is beautiful.

 

IMHO it beats the McLaren F1, almost all the Ferraris, even the Lamborghinis (also coz the Esprit's lines are much simpler and therefore more timeless than the Lambors). Its angular-wedge shape is unique and still looks fresh today.

 

The old jaguar E-type has sexy curves and is beautiful also so. The Aston Martin DB9 is also beautiful with simple yet convincing lines but 10 years from now I am not sure.

 

There are a few more worthy body designs ..... why not you get pple here to nominate say 5-6 really beautiful and timeless models and do a poll, just for the fun of it?? [:)]

Audi R8 ( Looks Only )

 

Everything looks good but i dont really understand the plastic side panel just after the door??.... IMHO the side panel seems to be an after-thought and doesnt really add anything to make the body look more beautiful. just my opinion.

I don't know if British car can be consider Continental, since its a term the English like to use for mainland Europe.

 

ANyway,

 

Ferrari F40

Ferrari F430

Mclaren F1

Lambo Gallardo

Lambo Mercilego (spelling)

Aston Martin DBS

Lambo Muira

Zonda

In terms of being timeless, only F40, F1, Muira, DBS above are old enough for consideration: personally I think the Muira beats the F40, DBS, and F1, but not by much.

Merc E Class Coupe

Aston Martin DBR

 

As a saloon-derived coupe, the E Class Coupe is not bad. The Peugeot 407 Coupe (by Pinifarina) is another such beautiful coupe.... there are a few others also.

I personally find the Mitsuoka Orochi aesthetically appealing.... Its not a conti, but it deserves special mention for its looks that displays latent criminality as well as compelling reptilian charm ...

In terms of being timeless? Aston Martin DB5.

it will have a place in the history of unique (different from beautiful) design.... not ugly for sure
