In the world of speed, drive and expressways, it would seem there is no place for such a banal concept as beauty. Metal, the rumble of an engine, the smell of gasoline - this is what pleases the heart of a real man, a racer and a car enthusiast. The history of the car began with simple comfortable movement, convenience, strength and endurance.
But recently, the beauty of a car model has taken one of the first places in the car market. And now the most famous automobile concerns and brands compete in the sophistication and beauty of the design of their iron models? Of course, without forgetting about quality, which includes reliability, comfort and endurance.
As it turned out, the beauty of a car is important not only to the refined female nature, who is inclined to choose beautiful things, but also to the stronger sex, but everyone has completely different concepts of beauty, and now, having looked at the entire list of the most beautiful cars in the world, we will be convinced of this. The time has come when the lists of the most beautiful are now topped not only by people, but also by beautiful cars.
SO, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS. GO…
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
And the very first on the list of our beauties I would like to mention is the iron lady named Bugatti Veyron Super Sport , which was produced in 2010 by Bugatti. The new hypercar is pleasing to the eye, and this time the usual black color is diluted with a bright orange note.
This car is rightfully called the fastest production car in the world, for which it received the “Car of the Decade” award. There is no doubt about the latest technical equipment of this model.
Ariel Atom V8 500
Tenth place was taken by the Ariel Atom, a sports car developed in the UK. With 475 horsepower, its top speed is limited to 275 km/h . Now this seems like a very modest achievement, even compared to the parameters of golf-class hatchbacks. But, nevertheless, the car, which has a name similar to the famous washing powder, amazes in a completely different way. If you are ever lucky enough to get behind the wheel of this car, you will feel like you are on a roller coaster, you will literally be pressed into your seat. And this is no wonder, because the car accelerates to hundreds in 2.5 seconds! There are only 25 cars of this model in the world.
BMW M5 1999
We all remember the real beauty of the late 90s, which every boy dreamed of, and which any self-respecting businessman rode. And this car is a 1999 BMW M5 This car brand is considered purely masculine not only for its massive and rugged appearance, but also for the character that is under the hood of the car. Therefore, this big machine must be driven by a stern man with an equally strong temperament. Although there are exceptions...
Age is not a barrier
In the golden age of elegant auto design, these cars, although beauties, were only one of many - however, nowadays, when you meet them at races or exhibitions, you can only groan with admiration.

Quora user Glenard Munson believes that nothing can compare to the beauty of the 1929 Duesenberg SJ. The creation of a long-defunct manufacturer attracted his attention as a child, when he assembled scale models of this machine. Lee Ballantyne agrees that the designers at Duesenberg were no strangers, but his favorite is another of the brand's cars, the 1935 Model J Supercharged 530 convertible coupe. “Personally, number one for me is still the Stutz Bearcat, but I I must admit that the Duesenberg is more elegant,” he writes.
Dan Pepper also likes the design of the era, but he puts the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster first. Pepper admits that he likes roadsters with a long wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels): “This car is the pinnacle of the big-engined two-seater concept, the epitome of quiet power and grandeur. Like a two thousand square meter estate with only one bedroom.”

One anonymous respondent values the products of Morgan, a family business located in the English county of Worcestershire, above all: Morgans are a car for those who love classic design. Not only because of its elegant, shiny lines, but also because it best emphasizes the fusion of man and machine.”
Bentley Continental GT 2003
A luxury executive car, which with its severity and grace resembles a member of the royal dynasty, as it looks luxurious not only on the outside, but also on the inside. Namely, this is 2003 Bentley Continental GT The interior of this beauty is upholstered in leather and made using expensive wood. Well, the BOSE speaker system and the Logic by Pioneer multimedia interface are integral companions of this version of the car.
Pagani Huayra BC (383 km/h)
No sane person would ever call the Pagani Huayra a tame beast. Moreover, this cannot be said about its improved version of the Huayra BC, presented in 2020 at the Geneva Motor Show.
Lighter and more powerful than the standard Huayra, the BC engine has been improved to produce 789 hp. While the total weight of the car was reduced to a meager 1200 kg. That's actually the same weight as a new Honda Civic coupe with 5 times less power. The maximum speed of the BC is 383 kilometers per hour.
Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series 2008
The king of the freeway of all times is rightfully the uncle of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series This car does not have a strict appearance. You can admire its body for a long time with smooth lines and transitions, so both men and women deserve to own it.

Solid, discreet and sophisticated design, as well as reliability, brought this brand to our list of the most beautiful cars in the world - and this is the 2009 Volkswagen CC The two letters SS at the end of the name can be deciphered as “comfort coupe”. This version of the car is available in different colors, but the more popular and often chosen color is black.
Devel Sixteen
Devel Sixteen is a car with a unique exterior design. Experts who participated in a survey on the rating of the most beautiful car in the world almost unanimously noted the modern Devel Sixteen car. This production model was presented to the whole world at an exhibition in Dubai. And the creators of this beautiful car were previously unknown to anyone and came from the UAE. In addition to beauty, this car has excellent technical performance. But the Devel Sixteen is not designed for driving on public roads. With such technical indicators, its place is only on special racing tracks. The maximum speed is 499 km/h. But this fact has not been established, since the developers did not conduct such high-speed races.
Audi RS6 Avant 2010
A bold and greyhound steel beauty in red, the German 2010 Audi RS6 Avant This Iron Lady has won the hearts of drivers all over the world with its power, reliability, and strict and at the same time cute design.

Maserati MC12
Sunny Italy also rose to fame in automotive circles with the release of its beautiful work of art in 2004 called the Maserati MC12 . A total of 55 examples of these steel-colored two-door beauties were created, which quickly flew around the world to their wealthy owners.
Amazing beauty from Jaguar
For the Jaguar XE, you can find several definitions and each of them will be relevant - it is the most modern, powerful and beautiful of all sports sedans that are present on the automobile market. An aluminum beauty in which all proportions are ideal, and the principles of aerodynamics have reached fundamental heights. Although the car's features reflect all the characteristic differences of the Jaguar pedigree, this representative is a unique creation among all sedans that are mid-sized. This definition fits the design and the emotions that the car generates in the driver.
The new XE unit embodies in its design all the achievements that the company has developed in the development of lightweight aluminum structures. Only Jaguar is able to combine modern innovative solutions with clear, smooth and sophisticated lines on the body. It can be said that the surface finish of this car is excellent.
This car is the only example that is based on an aluminum monoblock and lightweight modular architecture, which is considered the pride of the Jaguar company. The driver will feel confident while driving, dynamic operation of all systems, purposeful images and uncompromising safety.
In the exterior, all the signs of a sports coupe are clearly visible, but the technological solutions tell a completely different story and indicate that the car clearly belongs to the Jaguar family.
Peugeot Onyx
A Frenchman named Peugeot Onyx amazed everyone with its precious appearance. Copper and aluminum were used for its production. Strict in appearance, but soft inside, because its interior is made of felt, or, to be more precise, felted wool. The French beauty deservedly takes its place among the brightest, most unusual and beautiful cars in the world.
SSC Tuatara
This car surprises not only with its appearance. In terms of parameters, this sports car may surprise many rich people and oligarchs. The power of this monster is 1369 horsepower, the maximum speed is 431 km/h , and the SSC Tuatara accelerates to hundreds in just 2.8 seconds. Shelby Supercars is the concern that produced this car. The car needs 70 liters of gasoline if you select the “all money” refueling mode. But if you squeeze all the juices out of the car and drive at full speed, then you need 2 times more gasoline. Everything is clear here - a 6.9 liter engine, equipped with a dual compressor, with a capacity of almost 1400 horses is not economical in itself.
Ferrari 250 GTO
The hot and fast Italian “iron horse” under the famous name Ferrari 250 GTO could not go unnoticed by us. This bright, retro racing car was produced in 1962 and is considered very rare, as only 39 copies of its model were produced. Not everyone could become the owner of such a miracle, because this car is not cheap - its price is $31 million.
Orca Engineering SC7
A supercar produced in Sweden, which at top speed is inferior to Koenigsegg, SSC, and Bugatti. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 400 km/h. What is he doing in the middle of the list, you ask? The fact is that this car was released very long before the famous concerns brought their super-fast cars to the market, with a maximum speed of 400+. The Orca Engineering SC7 shocked everyone with its speed back in 2003, but, unfortunately, car enthusiasts did not rejoice for long, as suddenly as the car entered the market, it disappeared just as quickly. The concern was bankrupt and production was closed. During the entire production period, only 7 cars were produced.
Jaguar E-Type
If you ask what a dream car looks like, I will tell you that it is a Jaguar E-Type . Even the author of another car brand and potential competitor Enzo Ferrari called the E-Type the most beautiful car in the world, and that’s worth a lot. The car fully lives up to the name of its spotted namesake, because the car is very fast and maneuverable.
Milan Red (401 km/h, stated)
Despite its name, Milan Red does not come from Italy, but from Austria. It was made by a newcomer to the automotive industry - Milan Automotive. The supercar looks like it was designed by aliens and reportedly costs $2.3 million. But Milan does make a compelling case for buying a car from a company no one has heard of.
Milan Red is named after the red kite, a large bird of prey. It is powered by a 6.2-liter four-stroke turbocharged V8 engine. The declared engine power is 1307 hp. Milan Automotive claims that its creation will accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.47 seconds and reach a top speed of 401 km/h.
The company is currently run by Markus Fuchs, a former driver who competed in the International GT Open and ADAC GT Masters series. Only 99 Milan Red examples will be built.
Lotus Elise Sport 2006

Citroen DS
Citroen DS
When it was released in 1955, this car created a sensation. Not least due to its unusual appearance. The elegant body, elongated hood and closed wheel arches distinguished the DS from the cars of that time.
In addition to its appearance, Citroen boasted an innovative hydraulic suspension, cornering headlights and a comfortable, spacious interior.
For its high qualities, the DS took third place in the ranking of the best cars of the 20th century .

Honda Jazz

Its exterior is well thought out from all sides, and paired with the engine, either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT is provided. In Europe, the cost of the Jazz starts at 16,000 euros.
Nissan X-Trail
The SUV has a recognizable appearance, although it has received a radically new radiator grille with cladding. The new model has significantly risen to the TOP 20, which is confirmed by sales of 177,000 cars per year. This was facilitated by a spacious interior, easy handling for the driver and, of course, a pleasant exterior from all points of view.
In the United States, the model is one of the best-selling in its segment. The cheapest X-Trail with 6 airbags and air conditioning can be purchased from 22 thousand conventional units.
Aston Martin Valkyrie (402 km/h, stated)
Aston Martin has teamed up with Red Bull Racing to develop the Valkyrie, a supercar that draws power from Formula 1 proven technology. Although a working prototype hasn't even been created yet, it is known that the supercar will use a mid-range 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 900 hp. That's already impressive, but the 12-cylinder engine is part of a hybrid powertrain. According to Aston's forecasts, the Valkyrie's total power will be about 1,130 hp. This is enough to accelerate to 402 km/h. Time will tell whether the engineers' promises will come true.
Ford Mondeo
The leading country in the production of cars of this make and model is the USA. Last year, 138 thousand units of the new Mondeo were sold. The car has a magnificent stylish design, as well as an ultra-modern set of options.
Optimal fuel consumption is ensured by a high-tech 1.5-liter engine, which meets the Euro 6 standard in terms of emissions of harmful substances. Special technology allows you to open the car without picking up the key. Prices for the Ford Mondeo start at $25,500.

Honda CR-V
This crossover owes its high place on the list to a number of excellent characteristics. It combines high reliability with the same level of comfort and practicality. Pleasant design and the presence of a number of technological options do not allow you to remain indifferent next to it.
A 1.6-liter engine consumes only 4 liters per 100 km outside the city. Sales for the year amounted to 153 thousand units, and the price for which you can become its owner is 36,000 USD. e.
