Are Porsches beautiful?

[montecristo]

Do Porsche owners see their cars as beautiful (vs, say, buying them because of the performance or handling)?

If so, what makes a 'standard' Porsche like a 911 beautiful? I've always struggled to understand the aesthetics/proportions of the basic Porsche shape (i.e. not a 356 or a 918).

(genuine question, I am not trying to troll)

What do you think OP?

Leaving aside that it's quite a processed photo, that is evocative. As is your other photo of the two Porsches. In part because they have nostalgia about them, they remind you of an era that, rightly or imaginarily, had Romance and Elegance. I am not sure I'd say they are beauutiful though. The classic Porsches seem like quite short cars, bordering on cute perhaps. As others have said, taste is personal, I'm just curious.
