I would have to say an Aston DB9 or Vantage - hands down. But, I also like the Pagani Zonda or, dare I say, Pagani Huayra.

I also love the Aston. If nothing else, Ford learned how to shape a gorgeous hood from their ownership of Aston. Except for the opening, which needed to be the Mustang oval, the remainder shows lot of Aston blood. I'd forgotten about the Alfa and I would have to pick it as my favorite.

I've said the same of several really beautiful women. There were still really beautiful.

That Alfa Romeo 8C sure has some ungainly proportions, especially from the front. IMHO, it doesn't even come close to to being the most beautiful.

well on top of being a hatefully expensive POS, its also not very attractive to me anyway. Just oddly shaped.

I like the morgan aero line, but at some angles, it looks plain goofy and seriously cross-eyed.

Interesting. I find the rear of the MP4 to be absolutely hideous. Looks like a spaceship from some cheezy 90s alien movie.

Truth be told I've not seen the Alfa in person but it looks good to me in the pictures I have seen. Price is not the point of my query, only beauty. Eye of the beholder and all of that. I'm off to look at a 991 just now, also pretty in pictures, except I don't car for the center console. I'm told the one they have is white which might make it look too big. The brochure they sent me shows a dak blue S, which looks great to my eye.

The replacement for the Ferrarii 599 series...The new Ferrari F-12 Berlinetta is......... quite a beautiful car and a beast at the same time.......730 hp.......to 124 mph in 8.5.....about $400,000K..............

Even the Rapide is so much better looking than the bloated and nasty Panamera

When the Ferrari Dino was new Quattroruotte the Italian magazine featured it on its cover with the title "La piu Bella del Mondo" I think this coveted Miss World title now belongs to the cars you mention but remember that a well kept ex-queen like the 993 can take the spotlight from most with its understated elegance and perfect proportions
A little kid told me after scrutinizing my car: "I've got one of these"
really ? I said
Yeap he said with a sigh
It's my favorite and I keep it on the shelf by my bed
Why I asked him
Cause it's so pretty he said
