the pinnifarina (or how ever you spell it) in the first pic was at goodwood, in fact that pic's from goodwood. i was there an saw it in person, the guys driving it couldn't figure how to get it to start, i dont like the thing very much, rather have an MC12.

F40 - I don't know, just something about it that makes me happy in my pants everytime I see it...And it's my desktop...So, every day is a good day.

99+ spec RX-7 - Definitely the sexiest machine to come from Japan. Ever. (Though, I like the Porshe-esque, aggressive, and simple look of the second gen, also)

Ford GT - Just something about that car screams pure power and pure sex to me...Maybe it's that exhaust note, hehe.

finally come over to the dark side huh?

The R34 GT-R's take the cake for me (the Z tune might be my favorite). Then comes the Ford GT and various Ford Mustang models. My current favorite would probably be the Cervini C-series (though I prefer straight black or red w/ white stripes...the eleanor colors are nice too, though).

wow i think i just creamed my pants but the sig says it all

To me, "sexiness" in a car tends to evoke images of human beauty, and thus the female form. The SWB is a bit to "manly" whereas the swooping curves of the Lusso, like the early E type, more echo the curvatiousness of a beautiful woman.

and thet is more or less why i prefer the SWB; because it is more purposeful.
to me, i prefer it because it is more about getting a job done as opposed to merely looking pretty.
then again, that's the kind of thing i like.

Getting the job done is a different thing to me. The F40 and cars like the Audi R8 or Unimog get the job done, but aren't pretty. I don't find men sexy, so I don't find manly traits in a car sexy. I find women sexy, so when I think of a sexy car, I think of desireable female traits like beauty and form. The cars I posted may not be my top favorite cars of all time, but are the sexiest cars I know.

Then again, when it comes to cars, I like all types, and don't require all of the ones in my top list to be race cars, or even fast. Some are. Some aren't. I wouldn't wear an Armani suit to work on my car, and I wouldn't wear greasy overalls to a nice restaurant. ;)

to me, every car, in terms of design (as ultimately i am a designer of things and this aspect strikes me more than others) is done for a different purpose and hence different qualities have more (or less) significance.

you say that certain cars are sexy because they have a feminine quality which is an absolutely fair point as some cars inherently do. I think my idea of sexy is about more than just feminity of a car. Certain cars are sexy to me because of the pure unflinching design of it; it is like design porn as it were and this is not about male/female qualities. By the same token, some cars are sexy beucase of the purity of form, almost the exact opposite in nature to the previous lot but sexy all the same. This is the reason why to me, something like the Alfa 33 stradale is sexy just as the Original Lp400 count is sexy just as the SWB is sexy, all for different reasons.

As i said before, i like design that has purpose.
I think the best example, which is not a car but best describes the things i like:
the SR71 blackbird spy plane leaks when it is on the ground because there are gaps in the panel joins (which includes those of the fuel tanks or something similar...). the reason is that the whole jet was designed to be fast and at operating temperatures, at which point the panels would've expanded and met perfectly and hence no panel gaps.

A problem that I have with certain aspects of car design, which i do understand fully because of the nature of the industry, is that a lot of it is totally superflous or even just arbitary. Ten years ago, I imagined some sort of car design explosion happening around now because of the introduction of (then) new materials and methods of making cars but somehow that never happened. Then when I look back at how thins were done back in the proverbial good old days with regards to how they were always looking to use the latest and newest is nearly all levels of car production (remember when family cars were going on about Cd figures?) and i think somehow, we've missed a bit. OF course, i also understand that because to an extent, the appearance of a car is more or less just about aesthetic, it will inherently be the least worked on element (can you really say that the DB7 to Vanquish to DB9 to Vantage are anything more than simply differently detailed versions of the same?) but i still would like to see more actual reasoning behind the design of things.
One thing i do like and i'm not sure if it's design people doing their retrospective rationalisation again but if i recall correctly, one reason why the scoops on the side of the gallard are the way they are is because that is the optimum shape for size+strength of the material used to make the car. that kind of detail is the kind of thing i like.

Mine.
I really can't stand the supercar look.

As i said before, i like design that has purpose.

The only issue I have with anything yo've said is this: You've only narrowly defined purpose as the mechanical function of doing it's performance job. Purpose can also be simply to look good. That IS a purpose, and as a designer, having studied art, you should understand the purpose of looking good. ;) I'm also a designer, and ultimately, looking good is a prime function, which is why I'm into customs, street rods, and the like, and why I'm buiilding my custom '63 Mercury Comet: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/cvetters3/Comsketch4.jpg

A lot of cars, like that 121 Inter, have as a purpose looking good. in the regard, there is a point when "design" becomes "engineering." "designing" for function is "engieerning" it's an art, but it's not about aesthetic beauty, but functional beauty, which, as you've notied, are often two completely separate things (an early Jeep CJ has purely functional beauty, as do a number of top race cars. But they aren't really aesthetically beautiful).

To me, "sexy" implies "sex," which implies male/female dynamics. And I'm attracted to the female side, not the male side. ;)

Now, that isn't to say I don't like the things you describe. I love engineering details like the reasoning for the gallardo scoops. I love the way a good design for a sports car implies tightly drawing the skin over the mechanicals, to emphasize the mechanical function of the car. Some of the cars done that way are among my favorites, ever. But I don't consider that sort of thing sexy, just great design.

well, to be fair, a car is a machine that has a fundemental purpose and if the aesthetic reasons behind its appearance has an effect on its ability to carry out that purpose then it is, whether or not it is aesthetically pleasing, flawed (please, no arguing over the possiblities of flaws being beautiful; that isn't the discussion or the point)

this is probably where i admit that some of my personal professional bias comes into it as well.
what i cannot stand is when people retrospectively apply a purpose to a design. Sure i know of aesthetics as a purpose; i'm an architect for *insert your deity of choice here*'s sake. Half of my work is based purely on aesthetics. There is a growing trend for people to first design in an aesthetic way and then apply some kind of semi-technical blabble to justify it. This is what i'm really not keen on; the denying of the simple and very base nature of simple aesthetics. But this is also where another question comes up; which is more important in a car, the aesthetics or the ability to do its job? It's not strictly the topic of the thread but it is still part of the whole.

don't forget, a lot of what people would call sexy cars were designed in an age where the technology of cars was relatively low and when things such as aeordynamics and materials' properties were largely an unknown.
in an age where you really can make a "perfect" car from an engineering stand-point, what place is there for the purely aesthetic?

finally, for what-ever reason, you have the opinion that sexy is based on male/female. I'm not aggreeing or disagreeing what that as ultimately i can't; it being something that belongs to you. Me, as someone who primarily deals with forms as a whole when it comes to putting the (now) virtual pen to virtual paper, sex doesn't come into it. A beautiful line, shape, form or object is sexless.
To mirror what you said, to me, seeing sexy as something only to do with sex is narrow.

sorry i dont know how to post pics. i think its gotta be the Ferrari F50 for me as sexiest. i do enjoy the new M6 also

I definetly agree in some point's of that whole copy of the F1. I think they did a better job as far as pleasing to the eye (IMO). The S7 has the long stretched out back an all those agressive scoops,curves an ducts really make it noticable. The F1 to me has too stubby of a back. The S7 is a little sleeker an almost looks like it was molded to the curves of the wind. The S7 was created for self creating downforce not just looks so some factors of the F1 in it's design probably weren't avoidable unless your goal is to try an make everything hidious. A supercar should be Form an function hand in hand not just one way thats a kit cars job.

What if you want a car without compromises? Should you be forced to build your own car? That's not fair to people with jobs who need a car right now but won't settle for something cheap to hold them over in the mean time.

Saleen S7 takes on Veyron

Saleen is now offering buyers of its 750bhp S7 Twin Turbo supercar the option of a 'performance upgrade'. It costs £46,500 on top of the S7's £320,000 list price and boosts the 7-litre twin-turbo V8 to a claimed 1000bhp. Coupled with a relatively light kerbweight of 1338kg, the huge power should allow the S7 to challenge the Bugatti Veyron as the fastest production car in the world. And with 75 examples of the S7 already delivered in the US, the Saleen certainly has every right to claim the title.
