AutoMotoPortal published their list of the 10 Most Beautiful Cars Of All Time, and beautiful they all are, indeed. Getting into this high-end and exclusive list is not easy. In searching for these pretty little things, they kept in mind one ultimate criterion: undoubtful and unmistakable beauty.
Okay, so that doesn't really help in explaining the criterion. But maybe seeing the images of the listed beauties can help you get the concept of their criterion. Just click on the bullet thumbnails for a bigger view.
Here are the 10 most beautiful rides (not arranged in any particular order) according to AutoMotoPortal:
The Jaguar E Type: launched in 1961, and otherwise dubbed as the XK-E; brought to life by aerodynamics engineer Malcolm Sayer, hence the stunning design combined with performance and engineering excellence.
The 1930 Mercedes Benz Count Trossi SSK: aka The Black Prince. It can probably pass off as the more elegant version of the batmobile, but hey, if it's in the famous Ralph Lauren car collection, then there sure is no reason for anyone to make fun of it!
Bugatti Veyron 16.4: one of the fastest, most expensive, the most powerful and the most beautiful cars of our time. 'Nuff said.
1938 Talbot-Lago T150 C SS Teardrop Coupe: goute d'eau- a drop of water. And it does look like it. And with a beauty like this, it sure will be one big heartbreak to crash one.
Pagani Zonda: Horacio Pagani is the man responsible for this provocative and futuristic design. Factoid: He used his wife for a model during designing this car. And when viewed from the top, the car does have the figure of a supermodel.
1967 Shelby Mustang Eleanor GT500: Became a star in the movie Gone in 60 seconds. Was named Eleanor thanks to the movie as well.
Ferrari Dino: coined as such in honor of Dino Alfredo Ferrari, son of Enzo Ferrari, who suggested his father develop a V6 racing engine for Formula 2 in the early 1960's. Unfortunately, he died before the car was finished.
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe: unique because of its gull-wing or butterfly wing doors. This is one car that exemplifies vanity over comfort.
Rolls-Royce Phantom: its aluminum space frames is the largest of its kind ever built for automotive use. Screaming power and elegance. A classic.
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato: appeared in 1960 and had very limited production- for only 2 years, and for only 19 units. Now that's special.
