The only ferrari between 1970 and 2015 that is good looking IMO is the 288GTO. Big Price tags do NOT equal beauty or quality.


Amen!!! In the case of the 288 GTO the beauty DOES reflect on the price tag... That car was up there on my wall right next to Farrah , Kate and Jacklyn. Gilles Villeneuve was also keeping the girls company.


This exemple sold for 3.3 large (very very large ) ones..

I have been a longtime fan of the looks of the Guigario designed De Tomaso Mangusta.

I do not have many photos of them but even on a rainy day in Japan this car has a certain and distinctive appeal...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the Jensen Interceptor to me is one such beauty, even the name sounds great. Definately an iron fist in a velvet glove, bit of a brute in all !

Yes, indeed they were Chrysler, early cars had 6.3litre motor from 66 to 71, then 7. 2litre from then to the final cars around 76. A very 'Handsome car with oodles of class'

It's just a lowly Peugeot and I don't know much about this car. But this 607 model had very good lines for a sedan. I think it was designed by Pininfarina.

The model came out in 1999 but the lines are timeless, imho.

Hmm... maybe not "beautiful" but I think they're quite iconic. And the fat asses are pretty amazing looking. Great looking in similar way as the 928 GTS. As a 911 owner I'm biased though.

However, I don't like the looks of the new 911's. They're bloated and have very little resemblance to the originals. Amazing cars though.

I'm not so sure that the newer 911's are bloated with little resemblance to the originals... But then again this one is approaching 8 years old...


As for the wide body 928's like this XX8, the XC1 or the revered GTS's... YUM!

That is a nice one though. Amazing color.

It's mainly the 992 looks that I don't like that much. Amazing, fast and technically very advanced car but in my opinion it's a big departure from the original.

But maybe I'm just a middle aged loser who lives in the past hehe.

1965 Ferrari 275 GTB short nose.... I also find the 959 "Gruppe B" prototype very elegant
