Most manly car?

[Willy Nilly]

Are some of us feeling a little insecure?

[TheEnd]

Classic Bentleys are more eccentric old guy rather than manly.

A Paramount Marauder as featured on Top Gear. A car that eats Hummers for breakfast

[jon-]

A 429 BOSS Mustang. If it doesn't have the word BOSS in the name, it's not manly enough to beat this. Manfact.

[HughesR1]

I would say most TVR's are manly... even more manly when they're on steroids.

I consider that to be 'a state of disassemble'.

I'm pretty sure the engine won't start unless the driver's chest is very hairy and adorned with a medallion. Hope this doesn't describe your wife OP.

I agree with what you've said. However I think it's more than just function and how it is to drive but styling is definately a factor also.

My 993 turbo is a powerful machine for sure, but I don't see it as all that manly- it's styling is beautiful but not brutal, it's polished, its 4WD and refined without rough around the edges.

My 1970 Challenger is definately a mans car as is my E24 M635 CSi.
I think square jawed styling helps- especially cars with shark noses rather than swoopy curves.
However the rules don't always hold for instance: - Z3 M coupe- bare bones and manly but the Bangle kak that followed is limp wristed from a styling point of view and the flame surfaces are more RCA than testosterone.

The Jag X308 XJR is quite manly however it is very refined and has driver aids etc, but it's RWD with a V8 and the styling is definately aerodynamic.

new Dodge Charger is definately a mans car.

The Judge > BOSS


Most late sixties/early 70s muscle cars count I guess.

[Fabric]

T41 Royale. What's manlier than a 12.7l engine attached to a car that can't fit in a single postcode, yet still oozes class?

[Yachtworker]

This;

I was looking for convertible versions for another thread earlier when I saw this one, I immediately thought that should I decide to do a bit of Gangstering, this would have the to be the wheels! E500 W124

AC Cobra was the first car that came to mind for me!

More specifically, this one:

[heppers75]

A proper gentlemens express....

I have actually asked permission to see if I could perhaps indulge in my 40th pressie a tad early.... said enquiry did not go do to well!!!

'60's Charger R/T shirley?

I dunno, Amber Heard looked pretty comfortable in hers in Drive Angry.

[EmmaJ]

Vauxhall Monaro must make the list surely...?

Albeit I have one so maybe not



It's got twin turbos too

[Javam]

V8
RWD
Excessive forced induction
Black
Has interceptor in the name
Was a 70s movie star

The automotive equivalent of Russell Crowe (can't be Mel any more since he has been in Jodi Foster's beaver)

[Zad]

The Monaro has far too many feminine curves to be the most manly car. It has a waist too.

[DaveH23]

Bowler wildcat maybe?????
