Best Automotive Design of All Time
Been down this road before, but we have a lot of new members and people do have a habit of changing their minds. Give your choice for the best automotive design of all time (your favorite).
A number of years ago Road & Track took designers, enthusiasts, and writers from a wide number of automotive magazines and polled them on this question. Guess what design won? PLEASE!!!!! Only ONE mention. No "my second and third choice would be" stuff. ONLY ONE. Take a guess at the second question if you like. Hop to it. |
I remember a vote for most beautiful car ever about ten years ago and the winner was the E type Jag.
|
Cobra !!!
|
(1) Auburn Speedster Supercharged
(2) Probley a VW |
Cal - It seems to me I remember a question like this several years ago, but I'm not sure if it was the same "contest" to which you are refering. I believe the winner of the one I remember was the Cisitalia.

Early 60's Studebaker Avanti for me.
63 Jag E-Type win that poll? Ernie |
way to tough!
My favorite...hmmmm
American- '53 Studebaker starliner. Low,sleek, beautiful w/simple clean lines. Stack it up against most of the rest of the early 50's cars and it was light years ahead. Still looks better than most. But alas...Studebakers get no respect.:CRY: :confused: Foreign- '61 ferrari 250gt........Stunning......Nuff said. as for the best of all time impossible to pinpoint.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This thread could be as bad as a BB vs SB thread. everyone have a good one! Dan |
Ernie,
Beat me by a second... reason I did not pick the Avanti (since I have one) is that it evokes only two responses... "I hate it"... "I love it"... But like a Cobra I surmise, after a ride, there is always a smile:LOL: at least they get a little respect. Dan |
Design? Do you mean visual impact? Engineering excellence?
Or how about a car you can keep running for darn near ever with not much more than duct tape.... ... original VW bug. |
1969- Lamborgini Miura P400S--:D
|
Today for me it is a Ferrari 250LM.
|
Maserati Barchetta 3500
|
Avanti 176,,,well get some pics posted of that bad boy! An Avanti is "art", not everybody understands "art". The "timeless" beauty and styling cues that will keep that car "modern" for....well...forever!

The Model T or the Bug may be the most important designs...
The Jag XKE may have won some votes... The Cisitalia may be in the MOMA... But, for me...the 57SC Atlantic coupe by the ultimate Master. |
Don't laugh!
Citroen SM TURK |
Turk
No laughing here--had a client in El Centro that had one in the early 80s--smoothest thing I've ever ridden in despite the dirt roads--and a Maser engine to boot. Actually a damn good choice. But, as with my choice--it is French! FTF, but love some of their cars.:3DSMILE: |
HAHAHAHAHA
|

In my eye it must be the lambo miura sv :D
