    The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is the most beautiful car of all time

    Note about the poll: This is not a poll about "Do you think it is good-looking". Of course you think its good-looking. What I truthfully want to know if you agree that it is the best-looking car of all time.

    Anyways, about the car:

    ----------------------------------------------------

    It's paralyzingly gorgeous.

    It's so mind-blowing that I had to make a thread.

    After staring at it (which induced a transient state of contented numbness), I can honestly say I believe it to be the absolute best-looking car of all time, bar none.

    Who's with me?

    I said it's not the most beautiful, but it's damn close.

    It isn't because, without entering to discuss througout the whole history of the motor car, there's at least one car that's better in my opinion. The Alfa Romeo 8C Spider.

    Personally I think there are at least 3 Alfas that look better than this one...(this is not to say that the 8C is ugly, but it has to fight some heritage)

    I'll raise you pretty much any Alfa with a "33" in the title.
    Thanks for all the fish

    As much as I'd like to click on yes, this to me is more of a personal opinion thread. I enjoy it very much, but no car makes me smile more then a BMW.

    I can't believe 4.7-litres of italian exotica makes you smile as much as a 116i... or an M5...

    While I don't consider it to be the most beautiful car of ALL time, I consider it to be the standout of the new Millenium.

    It's pure, and proportioned, and pert. It looks both beautiful, Passionate and Savage at the same time. Reminds me of a woman in Stilletos (Which, funnily enough, is how Alfa Romeo used to advertise some of their vehicles )

    I do stop and stare every photo I see. of it. It's just.....Right. there is no other way to explain it.

    It's Retro, for me, only in it's surface detail, and perhaps the overall shape. but the details and form indicate modernity. It's super.

    I saw it in real life and my mouth dropped to the floor. It is amazing. It easily made the carrera gt it stood next took look cheap and japanese. BUT i dont feel it's the most beautiful ever. The one in my avatar is some serious competition
