Waking up every morning with a Lamborghini Diablo poster on the wall was how I spent my childhood. Chat to any car enthusiast and a sense of nostalgia will come over them describing their boyhood motoring icons. E-Type Jaguars, blower Bentleys, Porsche 911s and classic Ferraris among a few.
But what are the icons of this century? Is it solely based on aesthetics? Should modern icons be technologically excellent too? There's a lot to consider. Could a car that has changed the automotive industry as we know it make the cut? That qualifies the Prius... There has been discussion of that 1,000hp engineer's wet dream (and accountant's nightmare) that is the Veyron too. Is it a 21st century icon?
