That Ferrari 512 Sports Car. The car is mentioned earlier, but without a good picture.

You cant mention the current FIA GT3 cars without a special mention for this wonderful bit of kit from Bentley.

Super Toruing Audi A4

Can't believe that is from nearly 20 years ago. It looks timeless. Contemporary almost. Love it.

Something a bit more modern, two GT racers from Japan. I'm quite sure everyone familiar with the Gran Turismo games are familiar with these beauties:

Autobacs Garaiya GT300:



Toyota Supra GT500:

One of the sleekest looking sportscars, with or without the shovel on the front:

Agreed. Love that car, and the Jaguar of that era too...

I have never been fond of that era of sports cars. I prefer this, from the mid-80's:

I sort of agree.... Every era has its moment of racing porn, with even the current era of wind tunnel honed aero efficient shapes comes up with one that looks more stunning than the average. But in general, I have always thought that the cars of the sixties were pure unadulterated XXX auto porn. The seventies were in turn very close, but the eighties on it has (with notable exceptions) in general become more ugly, or less beautiful. Looking at the current stuff and it all looks less attractive but with a clonelike look of increased efficiency. As new technology becomes available and is faster, everyone plays follow the leader and produce more clones to the point of being the same base and the actual look now being based on the livery and sponsor advertising than the shape/design of the raw car..

Hopefully that makes sense in terms of what I mean.
It is after lunch on Friday here and I feel impaired.

I always loved the 1992 DTM Mercedes 190E, especially in the Berlin 2000 and Diebels Alt liveries

I always preferred the Merc in the grey & black Sonax livery, myself...


A nice looking car, although I wouldn't rate it among the most beautiful.

Speaking of DTM cars, I always liked the Calibra, especially in the black Cliff livery. And not just because it was driven by JJ Lehto...

Bleh. Here we go.
