*Most Beautiful Car in the World*

Lots of great responses in this thread but I just have to throw my latest love into the mix.





Jaguar XK-SS, so damn cool! Steve McQueen had one so it must be good right?

Wow lots of love for the Jag Xk-ss. I like it. I wonder what it would look like as a long nose configuration? I'm impressed so many people like them considering they only made 25 or so.

I have to say a Hispano Suiza Tulipwood boat tail speedster is the winner however. If you ever have a chance to see one in person, you will understand. I've seen one at the Blackhawk Museum.



The car is stunning in person. Every plank of wood is fastened by a copper nail.

I almost listed the xk13, anyone of those old jags, d type, xkss, e-type, xk13 could very well be the best looking car ever made. Jag is making great cars again but it would be great to see a throw back sports car. I wouldn't be happy unless it had exposed rivets.


I know its the most played out car in the world but...the Cobra ain't that bad looking if it hasn't been raped by 5.0 parts, and a racing stripe

Tata, who now owns Jaguar was looking into doing a limited run of new either C-type or D-Type Jags using the old blueprints. I'm not sure if the project will happen but it was at least explored.

I'm happy to see Jaguar trying to reenter the racing scene. I know Boris Said had some luck racing the XK-R in SCCA Trans Am when the XK-Rs first came out, but it was a privateer effort. I think the current attempt is actually factory backed. Now if they could make the car competitive, that is the key.

Alfa Romeo really has had a lot of beautiful cars over the past 100 years.


But so has Maseratti



A Ferrari GTO is pretty hard to beat.

/end thread. I'm in love with these cars, it's a shame they can't be imported into the US.

I admit, im a hater. I cant stand those things.

it takes owning one and a certain mindset to understand. like an e30, incidentally.

haters can hate all they want. i love it.

Not hating but I would take the RX7 over it any day of the week, better lines all around

The Jag D-type is a neat car as its street going variation the XK-SS. I prefer the look of the long nose D-type myself, but to each their own. I think there were only 25 XK-SS's built before the factory burned to the ground. At the Monterey historics last year there were more D-types and XK-SSs than I've ever seen. It was amazing.

The one Jag I haven't seen on here yet is the Xk13, a LeMans prototype that never got off the ground (actually it literally did, a press driver rolled the thing when it was new.) Jaguar has since rebuilt it.
