When discussing timeless automotive designs, a few popular examples come to mind: The Jaguar E-type, Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and probably a Talbot or two.
But those aren’t the only good-looking cars to ever exist, so we did some digging to find out what cars truly have timeless designs. You can read our list of cars that will transcend the ages over on Classic Motorsports, but let us know what cars you think have timeless designs–regardless of what era they were built in.
So as one of the resident classic Japanese car guys I have a few:
Obvious picks -Datsun 240Z, Toyota 2000GT, Supra, 2nd gen MR2, FD RX7 and Miatas.
Not so obvious - Datsun 510, S14 240SX and CRX. None of these are jaw dropping gorgeous but they have such a following that appreciates their girl next store good looks (it's a Mary Ann vs Ginger thing).
Agreed. Fd rx7.
I have an rx8 in my driveway right now. I would put it on an honorable mention list (if just looking at the outside.)
None of my neighbors knows what it is and they all think it's a new car....
timeless designs and transcend the ages...
I would have thought an air-cooled Beetle would fit that description, but by now there is probably 2 generations of people in the US that don't know what an air-cooled Beetle is.
