Let the debate begin.................... A few Masers in there and some are no-brainers, but some are complete pigs IMO ( 70's Lotus Breadvan Elite in the top 10?)
You see, for me, beauty is derived from art, not science.

That’s really interesting, the golden ratio can certainly be applied to architecture, photography and furniture but I’ve never thought about cars. I think it’s a bit tricky to assess when there are multiple reference points. But once you understand the concept of the golden ratio as being 1:1.618, you start spotting why certain things are so pleasing to the eye.Let the debate begin....................

Couldn’t agree more, Lotus elite…. Come on.I'm calling b*llocks on this.
Golden ratio's my ar5e.
It just doesn't work, many moons ago I went out with an art student and remember her telling me about this Golden Ratio, I argued that this ratio was based on someone's point of view about what makes a good picture. Which in itself makes it subjective.
Subjectivity and science don't mix. Science is proof of something until someone proves it to be false.
So looking at the cars in that line up, well, lets just say there are some stinkers! (Lotus Elite!!!)
As much as I'd love an Enzo, or a LaFerrari, they ain't no lookers. Stunning in their own way, but beautiful? No.
A Miura being down in 9th! after an Alfetta!
An Indy being higher than a Ghibli? You're having a laugh!
A GTS being lower than, well, most of the list. As mentioned. Click bait.
From the data set the low shark nose and low-down eyes doesn't fit the data, hence the low listing.+1
I buy Art because it makes me smile ... and draw parallels with cars.
I am amazed at 2 ommissions - BMW M1 and the BMW 635 CSI as probably 2 of my top 10 favourite cars.
I don't think you're ars€ would score more than 10%>Golden ratio's my ar5e.
This was all about looks as opposed to speed or power, and generally I would agree with you. However, No2 on the list was homologated at 960kg and certainly isn’t slow. I know as I’ve got one and it’s got this right behind my head to remind me!Race car wise, if there over 800 kilos there going to be slow!
