[i]but I reckon montylikesbeer has it with the Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale. [/i]

And me. I posted a picture of it first.

Apologies monsieur. I'm on a work PC and it's a bit finnickety as to which pictures I'm allowed to see.

I blame Monty for not checking first.

My neighbour drives an Aventador. It's a) huge; and b) ****ing amazing to look at

Not a supercar, but my dad's Super Car:

always loved the 456

[img] [/img]

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale

Good shouts for Ferrari, Aston and Alfa.

Edit: I see Monty has beaten me too it. IMO the most beautiful car ever made.

Great minds think alike big bloke!
[img] [/img]
alfa 8c seems to be winning at the moment 😀

Always fancied an Ascari

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

or a Lancia stratos

Changed my mind. Totally forgot about the "Super Snake"

[img] [/img]

[i]Edit: I see Monty has beaten me too it. IMO the most beautiful car ever made. [/i]

AND I DID!

300 SL Gullwing

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Yes Monty had it right. There are some good looking cars here, IMHO modern cars don't quite have the beauty of those designed by hand.

[img] [/img]

I'm not what you would ever call a Ferrari fan, but this is just glorious!
[img] ?cda6c1[/img]

The super car I would head straight out and buy if I had the money is a jag, xj220

The shape and curves I think are as good as it gets
[img] [/img]

In aesthetic terms, is there a factual (rather than a keyboard warrior's opinion) reason why the Countach couldn't be the best designed car ever?

It's fathered everything they've made since.

I love lot's of cars, including the Countach but my favourites are;

1) Lancia Stratos
2) Ferrari 288 GTO

and this;
[img] [/img]

Jaguar C-X75 mmmmmmmm lovely 8)

[img] [/img]

or maybe

[img] [/img]

or even
[img] [/img]

Ten points for anyone who can name all 3.

Koenigsegg have always been the top of my lottery wish list. May need to buy some cheaper smaller supercars first to lean how to drive one of these things!!
[img] [/img]

Cx75 bag of spanners.
Koenigsegg ok....well damn fine
If you have to ask about about why a countach is a bag of shite !!! Maybe some folks aren't keyboard warriors but know more lamborghini than they do about bonding a spoon to a fork leg

Is the top one that Jag E-Type reworking what was on Top Gear?

The black one is a Di Tomaso Pantera. I know this because I had a Matchbox one and it mustuv bin one of the most obscure models I had. Very distinctive shape too.

The bottom one looks Italian, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might not be. It's got that Italian look though.

I thin Samuri's choice of the Alfa Tipo Stradale is edging it atm (even more so than my choice of the Ferrari 330 possibly), but after a very poor start, it seems more folk are understanding the concept of beauty. Although there will always be a few poor, misguided, deluded aesthetically illiterate souls they need our help; pity them for they know not what they speak of.

It's not considered a 'supercar' but it will cost you as much as one to keep on the road. There's a Yummy Mummy in Swiss Cottage I've seen a couple of times trying to chat her up (to get a ride) but I don't think she's having it tbh. 🙁

Beauty on four wheels:

Proper sexy car.

This is a good one too 🙂
[img] [/img]

That

is a Monteverdi HAI450

A sexier version :

Got to be a Citroen, but the SM is the true supercar:

[img] [/img]

Wow theres a lot of ppl on here that have no idea what a supercar is or what beautiful means!! Haha

Nice car the SM Rusty Spanner, but for proper sexy stuff it's got to be the Citroën DS Décapotable with Jane Birkin :

[img] [/img]

You'll also need a [i]"capote anglaise"[/i] and this playing on the radio :

Oh how the memories come flooding back ......

Wow theres a lot of ppl on here that have no idea what a supercar is or what beautiful means!! Haha

Ernie, DS Décapotables always remind me the late, unlamented Alan Clark.

Which I'm sure you'll agree is enough to put anyone off their stroke.

I think the last truly beautiful supercar was the Maserati Birdcage 75th, it's a concept though.

Horsepower?

Having been lucky enough to drive just about all the Koeniseggs this is still my fav, just loved driving this on full slicks down the local lanes around the factory 8)

Shame it never made it into Le Mans, had a lot of potential, just needed the backing and track time.

[img] [/img]

And after driving a 1000bhp K'egg down the test track, all these other pretenders are just that, that's the difference between a supercar and a hypercar 😉

speak for yourself. I think he's a legend.

The nazi sympathising wasnt his best hour but nobbing someone else's wife AND their daughter is AWESOME! 😉

His diaries make for some of the funniest political writing since Pepys.

Wrong thread, really. 😀

Anyway, no one's posted one of these yet:

Magic. Your wife's been worried sick about you finding out. I'll let her know it's all good.

Well done Mr Mills.

Monteverdi was Swiss wasn't it?

One of my all time fave willy compensators, the Iso Griffo:
[img] http://www.classicandperformancecar.com/front_website/octane_interact/modelpicture.php?id=5554 [/img]

Also rather fond of this ugly duckling, the Lambo Espada. Possibly about as practical as they ever got with a V12 hatchback:

[img] [/img]

My personal list of 'I want it now!' Don't know if ANY of them qualify as supercars but you could own one for less than 100k...
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]

Seen it all now - a hummer in a most beautiful supercar thread.

For me, the Aston Martin Vanquish has the best combination of beauty, balance, assertiveness and poise. Not quite as brash as most modern supercars either.

Mr Mills, yes they were.

'nother pic [img] [/img]

I also like these [img] [/img] and these
[img] [/img]

And no-one's worked out what the Jag is yet. So here's a different pic of it [img] [/img]

Never really liked the Hummer myself, would love one of these though (not conventionally 'pretty' but I still think it's good looking)
[img] [/img]

Crap.
How do I post a pic of a blower Bently. Why can I just cut and paste. Stupid machine this. Ah well go and search yourselves.
Now wheres that box of Old Rosie. 😀

And no-one's worked out what the Jag is yet. So here's a different pic of it

Shush, it's an XK180 and it's ugly.

Matt, Blower was already posted.

Oh, and if you have a few bob to spare, I spotted the on the drive back in to town,

http://www.coys.co.uk/showrooms.php?itemID=171.

Is the jag the f type concept to replace the xjs?

Has to be this.

sadly the size of the pics has made them go fuzzy

Mr Mills is right again. It is an XK180. But he's wrong about it being ugly. Well done for getting both the Jag and the Monteverdi though.

Anyone know what this is? [img] [/img] Not strictly a supercar but it does look like one.

opel cd

some seriously ugly cars on this thread.

wow dudie they are a works of art!!

Never seen those before 8)

these are pretty neat

I'll have one of those Bristols please Rusty Spanner. They're selling them again now, sort of.

new AM Zagato is very....

[img] [/img]

Metro 6r4 - too fast for some

F40 LM

[img] [/img]

And just because someone else did......sound up (careful not to wake the kids)

[url=

sound up[/url]

(No idea how to add a video)

F40. It's that simple.
Agree with the alfa sz choice too.
Jag XJ15? Check out clarkson on YouTube. It's slightly damn and just constantly spins it wheels, good looking though

agree with most of freds choices. lambo miura is right up there i recon. as is the ford gt40 and most ferraris of that era. most modern lambo's do it for me it has to be said. that new ferrari is also a fine looking machine.

there's a prize* for anyone that can tell me about this without right clicking:

[img] [/img]

Never seen/heard anything like it 🙂

*there is no prize

It's frikkin minging, I know that much

Its a PANTS ZOZ with a gopping paint job

Looks like something Morgan might dream up.

I'll have one of those Bristols please Rusty Spanner. They're selling them again now, sort of.

I think the classics have the edge in the looks, especially the 300 sl Gullwing. Not a supercar, but thought I'd throw another jag into the mix

[img] [/img]

I know it's a concept car, but........

is that showroom in london still open? I seem to remember that the guy who owned bristol sold them at the showroom and only sold them to those he approved of, you know the 'right sort of people'

That was Tony Crooks. He sold Bristol to Toby Silverton, and earlier this year it went into receivership, but it appears to be up and running again.

Is it a Marcos?

EDIT - No it's not.
