Are car designs going backwards or forwards?

Every car has a balance of straight lines and curved and a clay model can change your opinion with just a few scrapes here and there...

Symmetry? In your face? Sexxy?

So out of 10 and why? Whats the best design car so far this century?

Take into account a photo from 4 angles...

i) front

ii) side

iii) obliquely from front

iv) obliquely from rear

Yeh sure; some we hate but some we love.

Prototype designs accepted eh?

So we are only taking in to consideration looks?

From a design blueprint - yes.

We usually take pics of our cars from 4 angles to shed the best subjective feel. I'm ignoring any overhead shot...

Cheers

BTW - this century is only 8yrs old...........................

not many cars that are "the best looking design" award worthy in recent times............

James already mentioned most of them.

The F430 is definately one of them

So does this mean that our poor l'il ol' R35 GT-R Prototype misses out ???

SO SAD !

MMM

I have to say the last few models of Lamborghini Countach.... that car alone sparked my interest in cars in general, and I wanted one so bad I even considered getting a Fiero kit and doing the entire thing myself (Which is a big call cause I'm mechanically dyslexic)

From the outside, its still one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen. I STILL want one, in spite of all the drawbacks of owning one (and that particular list is long).... the interior is a huge disappointment, buf if you have a lamborghini then you generally have enough money to drop $40k on a custom interior ;P

Time hasnt been kind to the ol' countach but for simple raw sex appeal, its at the top.

Failing the Countach, the AC Shelby Cobra was always nice :(

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
