For no other reason other than some shameless car porn, let's see some shots of what you consider to be the most aesthetically pleasing GT Car of all time.

I was torn between these two Donkeys with Le Mans heritage; F40 and 550



But I think the F40 edges it for me for the sense of sheer drama.





Stunning shots of a stunning car, I think you'll agree - but can this be beaten?

F40 is in the ugly but purposeful camp, its hardly a GT car either more a very thinly veiled race car

all the proper GT cars in the background of the first pic are far better looking

Agreed. I've never thought it a particularly good looking car. Its function over form.

E- Type
DB-7
Db4gt - and zagato
Lancia Aurelia
Maserati Ghibli
Ferrari Daytona
Maserati 3500gt
Maserati a6gs
Ferrari 456

So many more to think of.
550 and f40 are epic cars, but the 550 isn't up there in terms of looks and the f40 wasn't conceived as a gt,..

I'm guessing you mean GT race car?

For me, the 550M:



Just looks right...and sounds glorious smile

There are many more expensive gt cars out there, but for a reasonable sum of money I think it's a stunning looking thing.

If we're talking money no object however......

These are sports cars!

Edit : not the 456 which is a perfect definition of a GT car.

If its in the 'strictly racing' category, I would say the Porsche GT1 evo closely followed by the NSX GT1 from (if memory serves) around le mans 1994.

If its road going, a Maserati Sebring, the original Aston DBS, or the Iso Grifo.

The F40, great as it is is a) Not a GT car and b)Not 'great' looking.

For me it has to be this:

Whilst hugely subjective given the "best looking" part of the question, a GT car is something you can waft down to the French Riviera in at 150 mph, take some luggage with you, be in good comfort and attract the right sort of attention when you arrive, thus the answer is quite simple.
