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 :(

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
