What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

[CraigO]

Like most comments here, I agree its the best looking car in recent years. A lot of current Ferrari's or Mclaren's all have an angle or a feature which doesn't seem to sit well with the rest of the car.

One older car that does come close to the Emira for me though is the Alfa 8C.

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.

It does look a little short and tall if it’s sitting next to a McLaren/Ferrari/etc

But I agree, the proportions are great.

Wow. so many great choices. Never been a 911 fan (esthetically) but the rest are beautiful

The new De Tomaso P72 and the Alfa 33 Stradale aren't ugly. I think what makes the Emira special is that a $100k car holds it's own against $3M cars.

The P72 is one of the all time best looking cars on my list.

The car that inspired the shape of the Emira... Absolutely stunning!

Agreed - but also think the Emira is an improvement looks-wise on the Evija.

250 GT SWB is at the top of my list but the Emira will certainly be the most beautiful car I will have the privilege to own...photo credit to GearMoose via the web.

I am 65. I have owned more than 50 sport cars. My opinion is that the Emira is the most beautiful car I have owned or seen. My previous standard was the Ferrari 458. What competes with the Emira for the best-looking sports car? The lines are well designed with excellent curvy sculpture that appeals to me. I enjoy just sitting in the Garage just looking at this work of art! What car do you see that is more attractive! looks only, not considering performance because I know and have owned cars that are faster.

This might be controversial but to me it's the new Ferrari Daytona SP3.... If I had the money....

Wish the F355 wasn't a maintenance hog, or I'd be driving one right now.

My favorite US design that has withstood the test of time...

Oddly, I haven't liked a single Corvette model that came after this one.

 

[NJemira85]

I agree on those. I love those old Ferraris.

My only flaw with the Emira is I think the rear could be improved a bit.

Agree. Feels a bit unfinished. Perhaps a solvable problem..

It’s interesting that most of the cars show here require 10 to 20 times the cost of an Emira to get on the “sexier than the Emira” club.

Ferrari P330 is the holy grail of automotive design. (but not really a production sportscar)

 

[sixtyy]

458. If it was not for the greasy buttons I’d have owned one in 2020.

 

[seriously]

There are so many cars that are beautiful because they are iconic. The list is too long.

From a pure design perspective I have always admired the F355, the La Ferrari, NSX Type R and the underrated Ford GT. Interestingly I find elements of these cars present in the emira. To be honest I can’t think of a more beautiful modern day design.

Yep. It offers a ton of sex per dollar.

Sort of like a very cheap …. Anyway

Ford GT hands down
