A nice list - can't help but agree (not sure about the Spyker).

Per the post about the Bloomberg DB11 review in the DB11 thread - interesting to think about what constitutes "objective beauty" (as opposed to subjective or relative beauty).

If this gent is to be believed, it involves:
-proportions first
-front engine/rear drive (which leads to aforementioned proportions, and handsome front grille designs)
-elegance over aggression

I think this is a very subjective list and people could reel off another 20 cars that could easily replace some of the others shown. I've always been a massive fan of the Lamborghine Muira, but not even on the list, but the Alfa romeo Giulia QV is ?

When I was at the DB11 launch with Marek Reichmann discussing 'proportions' - 2/3 versus 1/3, I couldn't help but think that is probably true without thinking about it, but the DB11 is compromised (for me) by too many sharp/creased edges.

As the the Vantage being at No. 1, I suppose I would agree as I own one. I'f I didn't, then maybe I would have thought about the Ferrari Dino or E-type.

Ah yes...just read them. So subjective and glad to see Aston well represented, but to my mind I think DB9 should get at least a nod as the reference point for Gaydon era Astons.

agree on number 1 but although a 288GT0 would be a close second

Ferrari 220 over GT40?

1955 Alfa no symmetry even without a number plate! and a few two many streamliners and if have to have an Alfa why not an 8c?

Spykers are lovely and in fact I think there is a lot of similarity when you get tactile between my aluminium no plastic body bits at all Spyker and my aluminium no plastic bits at all DB4.
