TOP 10 most beautiful sports cars of all time

The history of the global automobile industry is replete with examples of the desire to create the best car. Japanese, American, German and other manufacturers continually produced restyled models that received an updated body and improved technical performance.

However, the perfect car never appeared. But the world saw many amazing and impressive in its beauty models. We offer you to get acquainted with the ten most beautiful sports cars in the world.

Lamborghini Murcielago

The first work of art in our TOP is the Italian supercar, which replaced Diablo. Start of production - 2001. The latest series (LP 670-4 Super Veloce) was launched in 2010. In the entire history of production, 4099 cars of this model range have entered the world.

Initially, the mid-engined car was equipped with a 12-liter V-6,2 power unit. (580 horsepower). Accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h. she is in 3,8 seconds. In 2006, the engine was updated. Its volume increased to 6,5 liters (650hp). Thanks to this, the acceleration time was reduced to 3,4 seconds.

Porsche Carrera GT

In the same range of speed characteristics was a contemporary of the Italian "bull" - a German sports car with a V-10 under the hood. This beautiful sports car has been produced for 4 years. And during this time, 1270 cars rolled off the assembly line. The series limit is due to the fact that security restrictions were introduced in those years.

This model did not match those parameters. And to upgrade a sports car was not cost-effective. Therefore, in 2006, it was decided to stop the production of the series. So another contender for the title of “best car” remained on the pages of history. And in the garages of collectors.

Shelby AC Cobra

Perhaps the most beautiful racing car in the history of the automotive industry. Of course, power indicators, compared to the previous ones, are not so impressive. However, photos of these magnificent retromobiles still make motorists linger near the computer monitor.

The British car was produced from 1961 to 1967. During this time, three generations of a classic sports roadster rolled off the assembly line. The third series of "cobras" repeatedly participated in races and won the first places before the beginning of the seventies. However, the critical financial situation of the company forced Carol Shelby to stop the production of the iconic car. By the end of the 1970s, AC Cars slowed down production. And ultimately went bankrupt.

Ferrari F40

Another brand, combining elegance and high sports performance, also came out in a limited edition. A total of 1315 copies came off the assembly line. The model shown in the photo is of great historical importance to the company. The F-40 model was the last that was developed during the life of the founder of the company. The number 40 indicates the purpose of the release of new items. The first copies appeared in 1987 (the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the brand).

The layout of the new model made it possible to compete with German and American counterparts of that time. Under the hood is a modest V-8 volume of 2,9 liters. Double turbocharging allowed to develop a maximum power of 478 horsepower. Such a power unit accelerated the device from zero to hundreds in 3,8 seconds. And the track version - in 3,2 seconds.

Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

The elegant and powerful supercar, which entered the top, is the result of the collaboration of two companies - German and British.

Based on the sports roadster of the original design, several modifications were created. In seven years of production, nine different options have been developed. All of them turned out to be fast. The maximum speed threshold did not fall below 330 kilometers / hour in any of the modifications.

Chevrolet Corvette 1968 L88

This American car not only looks attractive. Another feature of the model is the period of its production. The first rear-wheel drive sports car Corvette appeared in 1953. Cars of this series are produced to this day.

The model shown in the photo is an indicative sports car at that time. Chevrolet has developed a special engine that develops power of 560 horsepower. A powerful racing car was released in the amount of only 20 copies. The iconic car still does not lose its popularity among lovers of beautiful and powerful sports clubs.

AC Cobra 427

We return to the Cobra brand mentioned above. The history of this car begins after the restoration of production at AutoCraft's facilities. Initially, models were assembled from parts left after the closure of AC Cars.

Subsequently, the revived cult car series received a lightweight body and improved performance. All new versions still come in the classic body for the 427th version.

Ferrari GTO 250

Thanks to Ferrari, the Berlinetta body shape was popularized. The model shown in the photo is an ideal specimen demonstrating how gracefully a 300 horsepower racing supercar can look.

In the summer of 2018 the collection specimen went under the hammer for almost 48 and a half million dollars. According to 2004 data. 250GTO ranked eighth in the Best Cars of the 1960s ranking.

Jaguar E-type

Another iconic sports car, bewitching with its appearance, was produced from 1961 to 1974. Cars received such bodies: coupe (2 seats), roadster and coupe (4 seats).

For the first time on sports cars began to establish an independent suspension. It was developed by the company's engineer in just 27 days.

Bugatti Veyron

Closing the top is the coolest hypercars produced from 2005 to 2011. Outwardly, all versions look very impressive. But no less interesting are their technical characteristics.

A 1001-horsepower engine was able to disperse one of the cars to 400 km / h. This is simply unbelievable for a car allowed on public roads.

Although the famous automakers could not create the perfect car, they managed to develop incredibly beautiful and cool sports cars. However, this is not the only TOP of the most beautiful cars in the world. For example, ten powerful Porsche models with "expressive appearance."
