Jaguar C-X16 possibly the best looking car ever?

[HAL9000]

For me this is as close to the E-type as Jaguar has been since.

I'll take another British product...

Really? A vanquish? I prefer the DB9.

Jaguar pretty much ripped off Aston Martin's design, of course it's going to look good. 🙂

Its the same designer 🙂

Ah, that would explain it. So the Jag is a budget Aston?

Yeah the XK is. No complaints here. It's cheaper than a Vantage with more seats. :thumbsup:

 

[Throckmorton]

It does look good, except the headlights are too vertical.

BTW I figured the 2010+ Mustang was designed by the same guy, but I couldn't find any evidence. Is it just me or does the Mustang with the more muscular body resemble an Aston?

That is mighty damn fine cat. Much rather have that Jag than a 911 or any of the competitors.

/purrrrrrrr

It's just you.

Here's a muscular aston:

For some reason those headlights remind me of the Nissan 350Z

Yep.

It is a good looking car though. I still think the Aston Martin DB9/DBS is prettier.

Yeah after looking back at the Aston I'm inclined to agree, I also think I actually prefer the C-X75... Whoops

 

[MagickMan]

Best looking ever? No, but it's not bad.

My vote is for the Alfa 8C Competizione:

Pure automotive pornography. 😀

Oh, and the Wiesmann MF5 Roadster:

Boooooing! 😱

 

[jlee1]

Looks like a Fisker Karma.
Best looking car? Aston Martin DBS

 

[makken]

I came in here expected to see lots of aston DBS posts.

I am satisfied.

I do adore the 8C, it's my current wallpaper. The Wiesmann is really cool, not the best looking car ever but if I had an infinite amount to spend on a two seater convertible, that would be it.

I love the DBS, love it, it would be the Aston I would buy (for the manual gear box) but I prefer the look of the DB9, it's too bulky.

Yeah. As always you are correct.

 

[brainhulk]

isn't Jaguar the same company as Tata's now?

Yeah I don't know the ins and outs, but I believe all the building and what not is done by Tata and the design etc is still all us in the UK (I may be wrong)

 

[IcePickFreak]

Came in expecting to see the best looking car evar... did not find. Not to say they're all ugly (well, not alll of them.)

I don't see an ugly car in this thread.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Hmm the E type just game me memories of my XJ6... oh boy, I need to get it out and drive it.

 

[darkewaffle]

Not a real car guy, but that 8C is incredible looking.

Though now that I look at other shots from different angles that raised 'triangle' on the front doesn't really appeal to me, but ignoring that I think it's just about ideal.
