Wich ERA had the better looking cars?!!

[johny]

that's what I expect of a real car, not an mixture between a plane and a spaceship.

[DaveKillens]

That 312 is sweet, 2nd only to the wingless Lotus 49. But it's all personal opinion.

OMG! See? That is true rosso corsa on a Ferrari 312/67. Johny FTW!

[donskar]

johny, you are right on. THAT is a F1 car! Clean, simple, nothing extra. Just the basics and a brave man. No, not the epitome of engineering, but then the question was best looking, right?

I think any "wingless" F1 car is more beautiful than the current car-toons masquerading as F1 cars.

The main problem nowadays is the extreme aero engineering, it's hard to understand that the developement of the most important part of a car is frozen and loads of resources have been moved to develop state of art aerodinamics.

Yes, that's engineering but what are the benefits of aero research for automotive industry? moreover, what are the benefits for racing?

[kishigae]

My vote for 1990 is because of the Ferrari 641.

[forzasab]

I'm one year behind you!
The Ferrari 640!

[donskar]

Yes the 640 embodies true elegance in a racing car. AND the leading edge technology of the auto trans.

Johny was a tad off topic, but I fully agree:

I love F1, but it is incomprehensible that the teams are not allowed to work for more HP.

The best looking cars in my opinion are:

Williams FW14
Renault R26
Toyota FT106
BMW & Williams partnership cars, those were clean looking.

Altho the worst looking id say is probably the Williams FW26 or the BWM Sauber F1.08, maybes that MaCca with the mid wing.

One car that i could look at all day is the Benetons between 1992 and 1995/6, same with most of the MaCcas arround that time.

[Belatti]

I have already voted (1990 - but love 1995 Ferrari)
But now that you mention, those 60´s cars where reaaaaaly beautiful, too.
Talking about no wings... what about no FRONT wings?

[Belatti]

I swear that I was not the one who made this video...

Is a bit cheesy, I know, but WTF!

Now in this one, you all can appreciate that the 412 T2 was, if not the most beautiful to your eyes, the best singer from all times.
