Title: Best looking cars...
Post by: El Jacko on July 18, 2008, 14:14:20 PM
Dont know about you, but in my opinion, the best looking car ever made is EITHER the alpina Z8 [top pic] OR the Aston Martin DBS

Anyone got any better ideas?

I think The Vanquish S was the best looking of the "modern" Aston Martin line-up. That said the Rapide does look rather good:

Im also quite partial to the SLR, it has a look of the batmobile about it:

And I know Im going to get flamed to hell for this but I absolutely love the look of the new Camaro concept, its a shame they are going to cost a small bloody fortune in the UK compared to the US or I would have been tempted no matter how crap and gas guzzling they are.

The Alfa 8C is stunning. I like their new little car too, the Mito I think its called.

These are my best looking cars at the moment.

Not quite modern . . . but still the best looking car ever made.

Some surprise choices from Mark & Dev there :D

You can have the mg thing but a car with chops and fairylights, no.


The SLR is gorgeous, you gotta see it in rl to really get it though.

And if you want to say the 8c, go with the spider:
