What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

Possibly a base 993 for me. It's just so dainty.

But I totally agree with the comments so far about the Emira. I stopped the car so me and my son could get out and see one for the first time. It was green over tan and parked on a small highstreet in London, and I have never seen a response like it from other passers by.

A bloke walking past with his wife spontaneously said "what a beautiful car" and stopped to look it over. A girl at a café said to her mate, "that's the ninth person to do that since I've been sat here, people are obsessed with this car."

I even took a picture, which seems a bit cringey for a grown man, but I couldn't believe how good it looked.

Worth noting that before I saw it in person, I really liked the Emira's appearance, but I wasn't besotted with it. It seems it's something of an optical illusion for camera lenses, because in many pictures and videos, it seemed too short and too tall. A bit toy-like perhaps, for something with the styling of a mid-engine supercar. In person, it's a different story. It looks deceptively long, and so low it's slammed to the ground. I don't agree with the "baby supercar" comments YouTubers make. In reality, it's just "supercar" with perfect proportions.
Agree with the girl in the cafe. I took my Emira to the South of France and I was amazed at the reaction it got. Even driving around St Tropez where there are so many super cars, everyone loved the Emira.
 
308GTB for the win 😁. The Emira echos the lines pretty well.

Whilst we're on the subject and also talking about personal taste. I love the look of the Elise S1 but the S2 and its angular lines and never "took" with me, same with the Evora and I seriously considered buying one of those. I don't dislike straight edges - one of my favourite cars is the Lancia Stratos and I also think the Delta Intregrale looks fantastic. Maybe it's something about putting in an edge just for show? That said I know a lot of people prefer the look of the S2 over the S1. Regardless, the Emira is curvy and I would agree is probably the most beautiful car currently on sale.
I absolutely fell in love with the S1, mostly for its curvy baby Dino looks. But I do believe next to the angular S2, it just looks “cute” as opposed to the more aggressively styled S2. The S2 style didn’t appeal to me right away but grew on me and now I like both for slightly different reasons. Therein lies my affliction, I like too many cars and don’t have enough money nor garage space to satisfy the need!
