It might make my top 15 but doesn’t jump out for me as #1.

Surely in the top 15 you're splitting hairs but whatever that car is epic.

I'd shag it, but I don't love it.

Well I was thinking there were likely 10 others. I find Italian design more perfect and combo of art, design and sport and Mercedes in general the least virile of German cars. Growing up Mercedes was akin to me of what a European Cadillac would look like. Perhaps I can’t past that.

LOL.
Commonly found in the Northern Italian provinces to scare off grumpy Germans who lose their way.

I have found true beauty in some airplanes, especially military ones, probably mostly because they need to be aerodynamic and we're meant to find beauty in function. I have always struggled to find all that much beauty in cars.

I prefer it to the Italians. Unique.
But I'd have to have valets help me up out of it I fear and it's only for perfect roads. That car would not handle those damn driveways that are really curbs. No clearance.

I'd say the Spitfire was a particularly fine example of beauty, as were some versions of the P51 Mustang.
I dare say the Italians and Germans might have disagreed at the time.
The Spitfire was really designed in a massive crunch situation. Not only was war looming, but the chief designer, R. J. Mitchell, was dying of cancer at just 42 years old.

Personally, I prefer British Design. Just Beautiful!

The only car with buck teeth. Ugh. Reminds me of Jar Jar Binks.

Always loved the lines and look of the 1937 Talbot-Lago

That looks like something Roger Rabbit would drive - a stylized cartoon.

I must admit, I've always been a big fan of Morgans. They're still pricey, but not supercar pricey. The biggest problem is probably the waiting list before you can get one.
