But that's got us thinking — what are the best-looking vehicles ever designed? Well, let's find out. Yep, we'll be running through a selection of those cars right here.

Jaguar E-Type Coupe
How's this for an endorsement? It's believed that Enzo Ferrari himself once described the Jaguar E-Type Coupe as "the most beautiful car ever made." Wow! It first rolled out in 1961 and became an instant icon. That long hood sure is something, right? The E-Type Coupe is more than a pretty face, too — its engine packs quite the punch.
Ford Mustang
One of the finest muscle cars ever created, the Ford Mustang is an undeniable icon. It sold like hot cakes upon its release, hitting a million sales at the 18-month mark. The vehicle's amazing look certainly contributed to that. It's slick, strong, and ridiculously stylish. Quite the mix, right!
Lamborghini Miura P400
On the performance-front, no car could match the Lamborghini Miura P400 when it first rolled out in the late 1960s. With its V12 engine, it became the fastest road vehicle on the planet. If that wasn't enough, the Miura was absolutely gorgeous as well! Its proportions were pretty much perfect.
Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe
Is the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe the best-looking Corvette ever designed? It's got to be in the running. Just look at it, folks! From the super sharp lines to the sculpted body, it's a stunning creation. The hidden headlamps shouldn't be dismissed, either. They're a great addition.
Porsche 911
An iconic figure in the automobile world since making its debut back in the mid-'60s, the Porsche 911 deserves its flowers. The car's design has been continually finessed over the years, losing none of its elegance or style. Few other Porsche models can touch it in that respect.
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
A car that just oozes style and class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL deserves its spot on this list. The gullwing-door coupe in particular is absolutely jaw-dropping — it's hard to believe it came out in the 1950s! It isn't a shrinking violet on the road, either. The 300 SL can produce 240 horsepower.
Toyota 2000GT
The Toyota 2000GT might be the coolest car to come out of Japan. It looks fantastic! And James Bond fans are sure to remember its appearance in You Only Live Twice. Good luck spotting one of these beauties on the road, though. No more than 351 2000GTs were produced across its three-year lifespan in the late 1960s.
Lamborghini Countach
If you love aerodynamic vehicle designs, then the Lamborghini Countach is sure to steal your heart. What a motor! Thanks to its iconic wedge look and barnstorming V12 engine, this supercar can hit 370 horsepower on the road. The 25th anniversary model can go even further at 449 horsepower. Woah.
Dino 206/246 GT
Whether it's the 206 GT or the 246 GT, these cars under the Dino banner are some of the most beautiful motors ever created. They're so eye-catching! The designs are absolutely delectable, paving the way for the mid-engine sports cars that followed them in the 1960s and '70s.
Ford GT40
We'll be blunt here — the Ford GT40 is a bona fide legend. It's fast, powerful, and effortlessly stylish. At just 40 inches high, it could be described as a pocket rocket! But that doesn't detract from the car's beauty. The GT40's exterior is curvy in all the right places.
Aston Martin DB7
The Aston Martin DB7 is a very special vehicle, folks. How many other car models can lay claim to defining the look of a brand for decades? The DB7 is a perfect mix of '90s design elements and classic proportions. Is it the greatest Aston Martin, though? We'll let you answer that!
Ferrari 312P Berlinetta
Finding it hard to look away from the Ferrari 312P Berlinetta? We don't blame you. It's a stunner! This car's primary design goal was simple — it was all about speed. With a sleek, wide, low, and long body, it maximized every beautiful inch to compete on the track.
Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic
Is there a better-looking car from the 1930s than the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic? It's an absolute dream of a motor, rocking one of the coolest designs in automobile history. Jean Bugatti was thrilled with the results back in the day, as he felt the Atlantic was his most creative work.
Ford GT
In case you couldn't tell, the Ford GT's design is heavily inspired by the GT40. Not a bad car to use as a template, right! It's an aerodynamic delight, with some beautiful curves thrown in for good measure. The GT isn't a slouch on the road, either. Its V6 engine is capable of reaching over 600 horsepower.
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione made its bow back in 2007. And it's fair to say that the car blew everyone's minds. To call it beautiful doesn't do it justice, folks! Few other motors come close to touching its perfectly curvy design. The 8C Competizione also boasts a very powerful engine.
Venturi Atlantique
The Venturi Atlantique might not be the most famous name on this list, but don't let that fool you. This car is ridiculously good-looking. The curvy design mixed with the artful vents and pop-up headlights created magic. Sadly, the Atlantique's nine-year production run ended 25 years ago.
Lancia Fulvia Coupe
Is the Lancia Fulvia Coupe the biggest car in the world? Nope. Does that detract from its beauty? That's another no! This Italian motor is a little stunner. It has a pretty delicate design, as shown by its thin roof pillars. You could stare at it for hours.
Ferrari 250 SWB/C
Few cars radiate beauty quite like the Ferrari 250 SWB/C. It's gorgeous from every angle. Talk about a huge design win! But that's not the only thing it has going for it. The 250 SWB/C also has a red-hot Colombo V12 engine under the hood.
TVR T350
It can't be denied that the TVR T350 has a pretty unconventional look. But the longer you stare at it, the more beautiful it seems to become. The sheer boldness of the car's design works in its favor. If nothing else, it certainly isn't boring!
BMW 2002 Turbo
The BMW 2002 Turbo has a design that perfectly matches its engine. Its aggressive look fits the fuel-injected four-cylinder beast like a glove! It can produce 170 horsepower in full-flight, with a top speed of 131 mph. Compact cars don't come much cooler than this one.
Bugatti Royale
For a car that's nearly 100 years old now, the Bugatti Royale still looks absolutely incredible. Have you ever seen such a decadent vehicle design? The chassis is huge, while a 12.8-liter straight-eight engine sits below the hood. No more than six of these luxurious monsters were built across the Royale's production run.
Bentley R-Type Continental
"Regal" is probably the best word to describe the Bentley R-Type Continental. It's a jaw-dropping motor with an absolutely impeccable design. The car had plenty of power for its time, too. Thanks to its inline-six engine, the R-Type Continental can hit a top speed of 120 mph.
Cord 810
Was the Cord 810 ahead of its time? Certainly! This car not only had an innovative front-wheel drive setup, but it sported pop-up headlights as well. In 1936, that was practically unheard of. The 810's coffin-nosed design was also pretty advanced for that period. It still looks great, right?
Porsche 928
The Porsche 928 had an unenviable task — replace the iconic 911 model. It didn't work, though. And that's putting it mildly! But despite that failure, the 928 is still recognized for having a tremendous look. It's both bulbous and sharp, while the headlights are pretty eye-catching, too.
Honda Insight
When it comes to reeling off stylish hybrid motors, the Honda Insight has to be near the top of the list. This car is an aerodynamic dream, boasting a teardrop-like design that helps improve its fuel efficiency. The fender skirts play their part as well.
Maserati GranTurismo
Everything about the Maserati GranTurismo is beautiful. The stunning hood, the classy front grille, the proportions — it ticks so many boxes! And it's a great performer, too. The V8 models can hit 60 mph in just under five seconds on the road.
Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is a menacing motor — and we mean that as a compliment, folks! It's one of the best-looking muscle cars ever designed. The featureless face compliments the thick exterior and the lengthy hood. It played a great role in the Hollywood classic Bullitt.
Jaguar XKSS
How can you not be drawn to the Jaguar XKSS? It's an achingly beautiful motor! Good luck finding a car with a curvier exterior than this one. Mind you, you'd be hard-pressed to spot an XKSS on the road today. It's very rare.
Aston Martin DB5
Arguably Aston Martin's most recognizable model, the DB5 is a timeless classic. It's not the flashiest of motors in truth, but it still has a wonderfully stylish design. No wonder it appeared in so many James Bond movies. 007 couldn't get enough!
Ferrari Daytona
Combining both beauty and brawn, the Ferrari Daytona is a fierce-looking vehicle. The car's lengthy exterior houses a V12 engine capable of producing up to 360 horsepower. As for the top speed, it can hit 174 mph.
BMW M1
Some folks describe the BMW M1 as understated — and it's tough to disagree with them! This motor's stylishly wedgy with a mid-engine setup, capable of producing 277 horsepower. Although its production run only lasted for three years, the M1 is one of the finest sports cars of the late 1970s.
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
Bold, brave, and beautiful, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is impossible to ignore. What a stunning design! The proportions, lines, shape, and headlights are pretty much perfect. It almost looks too good to drive in all honesty.
McLaren P1
The McLaren P1 is a remarkable vehicle. Visually, it's absolutely astounding. The car's exterior reflects the ferociousness of its V8 engine while still maintaining a sense of style. Not all hypercars can manage that. Speaking of the engine, it can hit 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds.
