Autocars 100 most beautiful cars.
Discussion
This type of list is doomed to fail as it's based on opinion rather than fact. That said, the top 40 barring perhaps the Aventador, 997 and Chiron is pretty strong, and not far off, barring some reshuffling of the order, possibly.
Some of the lower down picks are laughable though. For me, to be truly classed as beautiful, a car needs to be without compromise in its layout and purpose. No hatchbacks, superminis, saloons, SUV's, off-roaders need apply. It's coupes, convertibles and supercars all the way.

The Daytona made the list? Ugliest Ferrari of all time.
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.But you are Stevie Wonder AICMFP
The rear 3/4 is one of the loveliest out there. Personally I think it's a lot better looking than the 275 (too heavy around the wheel/windscreen area), but some way off the 250 (the GT SWB of which I'd have joint top with the Miura).

It's up there with the 1980s Rover Vitesse. As overated in my eyes as most of the Zagatos. Of course only my opinion but I do have impeccable taste But you are Stevie Wonder AICMFP

When you make a list such as this and it has 100 entries, then it's obvious you're not trying in the slightest.
"I've got a brilliant idea! Let's make a list of the five most beautiful cars!"
"Yeah, but we don't want to alienate any of our readers, so let's make it 25."
"Better make it 50, just to be safe."
"How about 100? That way, we don't have to make any effort. The pubs are open."

Maybe you're not all bad...but the Stingray?
I was struggling to put in one US car. I'd go 1963 Lincoln Continental. Proudly American and very nicely done in a way you'd only find from the US (whereas the Stingray had European overtones).
