I talked about this with some friends this night. What are, in your opinion, some of the most timeless looking cars, that in some decades will still be seen as beautiful? Or what are some older cars, that still look good and make new one look bad? Post what ever you think or like, modern or old.
Rx-7 FD by William Lee, auf Flickr
One of the cars for me, this generation of the FD. Without wanting to talk about the 90s-era of japanese sports cars or the JDM fanbase, this car has curves that makes it stunning to look at from every angle. It's just beautiful all the way around. I challenge everyone to look at this car and get angry. It might have a bit of ninety-ness in it, but I think this will be seen as a very good looking car for a long, long time.
Hate the 911 as much as you want, it's undeniable that it's a sports car icon that will stay for us probably forever. Though I prefer the 997.2 with it's upgraded interior and LED style lights, I think the 997.1 with it's woderful rounded proportions might just win in the looks department for me for a 911 or a small-ish sports car. I think it's absolutely magnificent to look at.

Well with this I might just state the obvious here for some, whereas other cannot probably hear it anymore, but the DB9 perfected the looks of a sports GT. I seriously doubt it'll get any better than this in the next decades. Every single line on this car's body is just so elegant and perfect. (And it has the right amount of cylinders)

Taking it a bit on the old side, what an amazing automobile achievement to build a (race) car that look fantastic and an interpretation of this 40 years later which looks as good (50 years later, not so much). In my opinion, a much better job that for example the Fiat 500, BMW Mini or the Benz SLS.
