10 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time Posted 11 hours 56 minutes ago under: News, Design Our search for the most beautiful cars was primarily guided by one criterion - undoubtful and unmistakable beauty, as much as it is possible to use that term when referring to cars. It is a rather ungrateful theme, since beauty is very subjective and impossible to generalize. For some, there can be no match to old timers, while on the other side there are car enthusiasts who believe that car design has never been more perfect than today. Just think of the Rolls-Royce, Pagani Zonda, McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo and many other. How can they be compared to Ferrari Dino, Talbot-Lago, Jaguar, Porsche Spyder, Duesenberg etc.? We hope that you approve of our choice and feel free to add your personal best in the comments.

My son owns one of those bad boys. Same color too. It's 1:24 scale but it will do 0-60 in 2 seconds in relative speed.

I can't find a proper link for the two top hand built cars on this site...
BOAT TAIL PACKARD SPEEDSTERS. Both cars are hand made of wood by Eureka artist Peter Portugal. The one on the right wild be sold on Barret/Jackson next year...

The 300SL, in its day, was definitely a high-performance car. Three liters, 240(?) HP, 4-speed, and a swing-axel rear suspension that was one, or two, steps removed from A Volkswagen Beetle. Steering didn't have much to recommend it either.

The 300SL, in its day, was definitely a high-performance car. Gotcha. The "in its day" is key. On a thread with Ferraris and Cobras, I had to double check your meaning.
I didn't know that about the suspension.

The Ferris Bueller kit car was based on the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (
Short
Wheel
Base) California Competizione Spyder. The 250 design and evolution has influenced most sports car designs since the first 250 was introduced in 1959.
