[url]Marcel Gandini imho is one of the very best contributers to automotive beauty|http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=202823[/url]

Beauty is in the eye etc - To my mind all of the cars in your selection are heavily dependent on colours - they can look clumsy and overdetailed in one colour or cohesive and uncluttered in others...except for the Miura - you could paint it in any colour and it'd still look good enough to eat

He did the 5-Series Beemer? You learn something new every day.

I'm a huge fan of Gandini but can't help wondering about the recycled designs that have been used
e.g. 1990 Maserati Chubasco design (see www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/maser15.htm ) which is strikingly similar to the Bugatti EB110 (1994ish?)
not to mention the Cizeta Moroder vis-a-vis Diablo.


Still, can't fault the man, he did the first gen. VW Polo!

That Masser looks great, never saw it before . . . Citroën bits . . . nice cockpit. And yes a bit Bugatti . . . but hey it never made it into production so why not recycle? A good idea is a good idea . . .
