    Agreed, but that's why I asked for opinions...... ;)

    And we're certainly getting 'em - Which is good.

    And, as someone said above, badass does not necessarily make for pretty.

    IMHO, the Enzo is in no way a "pretty" car for example - I love it, but it's not pretty.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    917's were pretty, but talk to anyone that drove one back in the day and they will tell you they were by far the scariest 'pieces' they ever drove, handling-wise.

    May I say that looking at all of these pictures captured by so many talented photogs, are treasures - to be sure. Bruce Miller's post #53 knocked me out of my seat!!! Thanks, for not only an object - but an energy as well:)

    Cheers, Hank

    they are ALL pretty in a way as they are all built for a purpose and within strict parameters - no fluff. but...top 3 has to include the Lola T70, Lotus 25, early Maclaren, lightweight e type, aston zagato DB4 GT and of course the GT40 (pic from NSXER - thanks)

    (all before the billboard era by co incidence.....)
    cheers

    Of course, the 250 F should be close to the top - its gorgeous. Also glad all the pocket money I spent on Floyd albums wasn't completely wasted on sex and drugs. Some went the right way. Great pics there.

    Think its Motorsport mag in the UK thats just run a great few articles on the Maseratis of that era.

    Cheers

    I wouldn't kick any of these out of bed for eating crackers.

    To add a little different flavor than some of the above: Not the belle of the ball, but at least invited.
