What I think is great about this thread, is that even though most of us only will ever wish for our most desired cars, we find them sexy. Then there's the others who will be able to obtain them based on what they define as sexy. It's a litmus test into the definition of what others define as desirable and sexy.
Sort of like when a mate says; "Hey you gotta meet this girl, she's perfect for you and she's the hottest thing ever." You can reply, "Oh yeah, and you thought the commodore VS was sexier than the lambo? No thanks."

Yeah agreed, glad to see no one is criticising other people opinions either, its also nice to see we are all grown up enough not to just be picking fords.

Miura is also my second favourite for sexy looks and the E type is up there too.

Of the Yank tanks the 72 Plymouth Roadrunner (with the optional elastermeric colour coded raher than chrome front bumper) is the one I like best.



The Charger is I think the best looking Australian mass produced car ever.

They were also cramped for anyone over 6ft amd didn't handle that well without work , and being a ja you needed a lot of special tools like 30cm feelers , I had anAustin A35 wth a 3l capri V6 fitted that blew the doors off the etypes around town ( great thing to drive t school)

There are so many to choose, but I can't help myself. If I could have one I'd want one of these.



I know it's ugly and a glorified VW but at least I can fit in it and apparently they go pretty quick too, plus I'm a sucker for carbon fibre.

this


and after that any other coupe

and then a mclaren f1 road car

haven't cared to think much further - today's flavour of the month is a maverick grabber and gt40, but owning a coupe deadens my desire for anything else

They all seem to have bit of a gap there, might be accentuated due to it being a custom carbon fibre part. Or maybe someone popped it open to put the golf clubs in and forgot to close it properly.

So if you read the OP and thread title you'll see the point; which your post has totally missed.

Mad Max's "Last of the V8s" Coupe interceptor as it appeared in Mad Max 2 (broken front, twin tanks in the rear etc). Why? Because I'm warped, but it is the car that has probably had the most influence on me over the years.

GTX1 Plus one.

Even Jeremy Clarkson in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly couldnt resist this incredibly sexy looking car. Might have also had some thing to do with the insane hp it puts out and the handling etc lol

Italian design always sucks me in. I'm throwing in a curve ball because I think it exhibits some awesome 60s supercar styling but has the Ford mumbo to back it up:
