Autos that could be sculptures in a museum

Hypersonic · 05-09-2006, 11:24 PM

Some vehicles are more like Fine Art than mere machines.

These are cars that I just want to look at as much (or more) as drive.

I love all types of cars from Classic sports cars and limousines to high-tech carbon fibre concept cars ...but some cars really excite me. The Artist knows exactly what I mean with his obsession with the Pagani Zonda ...I am obsessed with several cars.

Here are a few of the cars that I dream about .....their style and beauty is timeless in my opinion.

Voisin C15 Saloit Roadster .....There are few cars I have ever seen that equal it's beauty.

Rolls-Royce Phantom II (Coachbuilt by Figoni et Falaschi)

Rolls-Royce Phantom III Coachbuilt by Gurney Nutting)

Mercedes-Benz 300S/300SC

Bentley S1 Continental (Coachbuilt by Mulliner)

Mercedes-Benz 300SL

Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder

Rolls-Royce Phantom V (Coachbuilt by James Young)

Mercedes-Benz 600 (Großer Mercedes) Some of you already know that I worship this car.

Citroën SM ......it's kind of what Picasso might have created if he was a car designer.

Lamborghini Miura

Ferrari F430 (Imola)

There are of course so many more ...but I'll let you guys contribute some of your favourite cars.

Porsche 356 - the car that marked the start of 911 era.

Mercedes SLR - Hate it or love it but designwise this is one of the greatest cars every built the latest 20 years.
