Older car styling

That Alfa Romeo 33 - phwoar! I can certainly see where the 8c got it looks from..

The 8c is gorgeous, they do a 4c at (almost) reasonable money, that looks fantastic too.

Giulia Quadrofolio is one modern style and proposition that absolutely floats my boat. Passion and performance enough to keep the Germans in check.

Ever since the Fast & Furious stuff landed alot of car footage is sped up.

A real shame - unless you do it now your cars look 'slow'.

i'm thinking that messrs Giovanazzi, Vettel and Raiknonen really don't need speeded-up coverage for them to make a mere 500hp road car look spectacular.

Exactly, but they have sped up that footage.

i always thought that they should have fitted the 1.3 Uno turbo engine is the X19. Oh, and sorted its corrosion problems too

I remember a 1.4 Uno turbo being dropped into those, along with a 2 litre Alfa engine.

That just goes to show you don't need 20"+ rims to make a car look good.

Another modern trend that's just lazy design IMO...

Gorgeous ?
You need to visit SpecSavers, or another optician.

I think perhaps we have different points of view on what constitutes beauty. I see you had a yellow MG Midget. Very pretty, I agree, but hardly the thing to awaken the manic car-mania of a healthy, say, 14-year-old boy. While the 3.0 CSI probably would. If I may be allowed a sexist paragon, one is an adolescent Hailey Mills, the other is Jane Russel in her prime. Or, to avoid accusations of sexism, one is a youthful Anthony Perkins, the other Robert Mitchum. (Doesn't really work, though...)

Both pretty, but look at similar cars from the era. Aston DB 2, 3, 4. AC Aceca. The lancia, try the fiat 124 coupe, the TR 5 and 6, etc. It's not only recent cars that are samey.

It's just a puff-piece, it's to be expected. The same goes for the drift angles. Who will win? Well, a driver who doesn't waste time going sideways, for a start.

It’s not just the 911, Mini and Fiat 500 that have grown...

 

[stevec67]

Coo look, that new RR is nearly as big as a Q7!
