My votes...

Duesenberg SJ

Most variations on the Ferrari 312 motor are wonderful.

The BRM 16

Honda made a nice F1 motor too.

1932 Maserati 8C 3000

Not so much "beautiful" as "brutal" is the Porsche 935.

And if motorcycles count, you gotta have the Indian Four...

...and the Vincent motor.

This one was a beauty to me. Since it was completely trashed, I got the car for free.

Edit: Ok, the URL is either broken or it won't show up due to the firewall here. I can't tell which.

I'll shamelessly insert my favorite engine I can got out to my garage and ogle :)

British Leyland "A" engine. 1275cc, .040 over, balanced recip assy', 12:1 CR, Megadyne 266 can, recurved mechanical advance 45D distributer, Weber 45DCOE w/ 40mm chokes on 6" Cannon manifold, crazy valve train geometry that required machining the rocker towers, etc, etc,

Note: Look at the throttle linkage!

Points for the blue exhaust headers.

Anything from Troy Trepanier.

@GrantC here is the same thing, but for the V-12 Jaguar E-Type.

And for good measure, here's some Lamborghini Muira V12s waiting to be installed.

Both of those images came from my blog.
