im going to agree with the double look the car when parking it. i love looking at my car. for some reason a clean 951 just has so much sex appeal mixed with "come get some". Im obsessed with them!

but actually i love 95' f355 cup cars. street legal, all cup parts but with full leather interior. id have one of them over a 951.

The 951 is still beautiful but it doesn't look like a new car any more - especially from the back. I like most cars but one that I think has timeless styling - meaning it looks as new today as it did 13 years ago is a car I bought last year. Here is the pic:

Here is a truly timeless design! It's wide and roomy just like the 951!

When I drive it, I feel like the king of the road cause I am driving a 20 year old car that only a handful of others on the road today can beat or even match for that matter. It is truly a unique piece of machinery and this website would not exist if this was not obvious... this car is truly one of a kind :>
Amen, brother! Absolutely. Some of the cars that have been posted on this thread as supposedly "beautiful" are really rounded and bulbous- they wouldn't make it onto my top 300 list. They are exotic, but they look so disproportionate with their bulging front fenders and flattened rears etc. The 951 is sexy and aggressive but also has perfectly balanced proportions; the Claudia Schiffer of cars. It's like the antithesis of the 993, or the 356 with its simplistic, rounded lines. Cars like the F355 and BMW 850csi also have this sexy, aggressive look with lots of detail in the styling and well-balanced proportions. The BMW Z4 coupe is another example of a car with unbalanced proportions- it has a long hood but its a*s is far too short; it looks like its behind was chopped off with a butcher knife. I love Bimmers but some of the newest styling...oh my 951 (God).

What the average sheep thinks is not going to alter my opinion of our cars but it's nice to notice how my 944S probably gets more admiring glances than the fleet of grey and silver 996's and Boxsters which reside in my town. That's partially because it's more rare and distinctive these days, but also partially because the average Joe isn't aware of its market value, nor the idiotic myth that all Porsches with engines in the rear are "superior"....in short, they haven't been brainwashed so they just look at the lines and say "Ahhhhh." The only catch is that when I overhear comments from passersby they usually refer to it as "The red Ferrari". It's so funny, this happens regularly now- a testament to how rare our cars are becoming. And although calling our cars "a Ferrari" may be insulting from an engineering perspective ...from a cosmetic one I can tolerate the comment.

The 968 Sport is lovely too, as are most of the 928's. With decent wheels, they all look timeless.

Although it's not "sexy" or one of the most beautiful, I love the looks of the E36 generation BMW M3- not to mention the performance, quality, and value for your money. I want one...

Yup two of my favorites, see the pic on my sig......love the curves........it's all about the "wood" factor baby....the passion. [/QUOTE]

Oh YES! The "951 wood factor"! Your car looks excellent in Alpine White- I haven't seen many in that colour.

951s really look the business. I was always hot on the 924 carrera GT. When I sold my 944S, I was looking at it in the parking lot, and I was wondering why I was selling.

Then I bought my 951. Nuff said.
