Cheers,
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.
Only 18 built.
Franco Scaglione-designed body.
Race-derived aluminium 2 litre V8 producing 230 bhp. It has twin spark plugs per cylinder, 4 camshafts, revs to 10,000, and a 6 speed gearbox. And all this in 1967 :shock:
427 Cobra...

Very tough question, but IMO a Ferrari 250 GTO.
For me... the upcoming Ferrari 458 Spider is just perfect. Just watch the roof in action:

Easy.. Miura..
and the coolest car NEVER made... the Miura concept... (criminal that they didn't make it)
I agree with Miura for the car (although a 246 Dino runs it pretty close) & Ducati 916 for the bike.

Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe. Two built, I believe they were due to replace the open top 300 SLR that Moss, Fangio and so on won so many races with in 1954 and 1955. The model was under development and had only featured in one race, although one or both had been used in practice for one or two races. Mercedes pulled out of racing at the end of the 1955 season as a result of the crash at that year's Le Mans, when an SLR went off the track killed over 80 people. Rudi Uhlenhaut was Mercedes' chief engineer for their racing program from the mid-1930s until 1955 and was actually faster than some of their drivers. He was a genius at setting up cars, and used one of the SLR Coupes as his daily driver. For that reason, and because it is the most beautiful car ever built, it's my nomination.

Another vote for the E-Type, and it is British!
yes. Absolutely. So very far ahead of its time.Cool car?
Mike.
Although... Since someone put up the Mercedes 300 SL (C110), what about the C-111?
Mike.
Speaking of British
And how about a Triton for a bonus point
I had never seen one of these until I came across one in the Gallery of Modern Art in Munich a couple of weeks ago. The brief was obviously to design a European-style sports car and they came up with one of the most gorgeous looking sports coupes ever; a rival to anything coming out of Europe in the looks department.....and then ruined it with that god awful bug-eyed front end and hidden radiator. Doh!Studebaker Avanti........
Oh and for me it's a toss-up between the Miura and the Batmobile (1960s -style).
Dave
That Batmobile is cool, and I hanker after a 3.0 CSi or (if lucky) CSL. Rarer and cooler than a '70s Merc.
But for me it has to be one of these poster children:
(Not the be-winged '80s version, but the original LP400 from 1974. Cool, and also as mad as a brush.)
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Jensen Interceptor FF. Oh how I wish I'd bought that one off my mate's dad. Unfortunately I couldn't stomach the 8mpg fuel consumption.
:drunken: now that is just a bit specialMercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe.
i'm a big fan of the vintage Gullwing anyway and an Aston Martin V8 Oscar India is another fav of mine
I used to thnk that the only one, and gone, Jota was...
Until I saw Ralph Lauren's car collection in Paris and among 3 250s there the GTO for me took the prize.

916 but the Senna one...

I am on this band wagon, the Muria is my desire, would never be made now, just wrong on so many levels but to look at stunning
Bike wise, I love the Warrs Bell & Rsss Harley bike but not very easy to ride just for looks

I so wanted one of these in the early 1970s.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

Certainly some good looking cars in this thread, but the SM is by far the coolest.

Not the prettiest, but the coolest car I remember from my youth! John Dodds "The Beast" - a Rolls Royce 27 litre merlin engined Supercar in it's original guise before it caught alight.
I remember all the stories in the press in the early seventies about puzzled owners of Porches Ferraries and Lambos being blown off the German autobhan by a huge very unaerodynamic Rolls Royce travelling at over 200mph! The press even carried (unsubstantiated) reports that the German Police had asked Rolls Royce not to test their new car on the autobahn. It would break the 70mph speed limit at 720rpm and idled at 120rpm! Dodd admitted to having problems with the flywheel becoming unstuck at speeds of way over 200 MPH. He overcame the transmission problems when he mated a GM Turbo 400 box to it. It was calculated that with the gearing it was capable of over 270mph. It was destroyed in a fire at Dodds workshop but as the engine and chassis survived he had a new estate car type body created for it. It ended in court in 1983 for Dodd as Rolls Royce weren't happy with him using their grill and spirit of ecstacy on the front of the car. Dodd lost the case and nothing much was heard again of the car or Dodd. The rumour was that he had decamped to Spain.
The beast after its post fire rebody:
Easily the RUF Yellowbird
I would do terrible things to get my hand on one of these!
