The car was created not just to show off the engine or power his greatness, but Also the car was created as a beautiful work of art.

To create a list of the most beautiful car in the world, Forbes magazine asked a group of experts to judge and give the nomination. The jury was asked to provide a list of cars in different eras and manufacturers that beauty is undeniable.

In the list of the most beautiful cars in the world have Alfa Romeo output in 1937 to a Porsche 911, which is still produced. All these cars have the appearance that will be able to amaze the entire generation.

From the results of the judging it, which was considered the most beautiful car in the world and throughout history is the 1937 Alfa Romeo output. Even Rob Myers, founder of RM Auto, famous antique car auction houses in Canada, said that Alfa Romeo output in 1937 is one of the most beautiful thing in the world and throughout history.

Vehicles from the 1937 Another entry in the list of most beautiful cars in the world are Delahaye 135MS Figoni et Falascgi and Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster. While the output in 1938 is a year younger Talbot-Lago T-CSS.

Why are so many cars of the 1930s that goes into this list? Motor vehicle production was reaching its highest point in terms of resources and enthusiasm in the period between World Wars  I and World War II, which has brought production cars that period into the design and artistic levels are high.


Each model is updated at least every two years, and every year is produced with a different model from the previous year. The cars produced a serious work of art that is unique, not like today, which is made from the model produced by another company.

Art Inspired by Ian Cameron, Rolls-Royce designers leaders declared that music is one of inspiration from the creation of a car. For Rolls-Royce chief designer of the new 200EX, creating a car can be likened to playing in a band. "You start with an hour session, and at any given point will turn into a melody," he said.


Design plays an important role in the entry of Porsche 911 on the list of world's most beautiful car this time. Although this model is not as attractive as other models in the list, but the fact that this model can survive for fifty years without any changes, means an indicator of the genius of its creator in the early 1960s ago. This will be very difficult to expect from modern cars.

According to experts, the current car manufacturers did not bother to create designs that can have profound and high value for collectors. The lack of artistic beauty of the modern model is one result of financial difficulties experienced by manufacturers of world manufacturing. According to experts, the cars produced at this time no more than a disposable diaper that can be discarded. Pathetic is not it?

The most desirable urban chic Alfa Romeo MiTo is a great success for clover but suffers from a defect known and recognized, its suspension is both too harsh and too soft after the coatings, which undermined both the roadholding and comfort. Alfa Romeo was aware of the problem because the manufacturer had already made ​​changes, but unconvincing.

Alfa returns once again to the charge, Harald Wester, the new boss of Alfa Romeo, Abarth and Maserati, admitting even want to touch the direction of the city. The MiTo thus receives two valves and dampers inspired by her big sister Giulietta for setting the running gear and the famous suspension.

As for management, it is simply an update of the software, all remaining electrical and therefore technically subject to an artificial feeling of touch away. This revised version of the MiTo has been marketed since March 1.

Undoubtedly the model stole the impression at this year's Geneva was the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept which will go into production by 2012. The Autonews but says that Fiat will not stay in only one issue and so is already in the pipeline and the Abarth version. What can this mean that the roadster version of the 4C simatakia will change and will be sold under the brand names of Abarth (so maybe verify these rumors).

To remind you that the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is a two-seater sport coupe with four-cylinder TBi 1750 MultiAir turbo engine is mounted in the center and the movement is transmitted to the rear axle through the automatic double-clutch gearbox TCT. It is made from carbon and aluminum, weighing 850 pounds and delivers 200 horses. The 0-100 km / h makes less than 5 seconds. Its length is 4 meters and a wheelbase of 2.4 meters touches. It has a ratio of 4 pounds per horse and wears a sophisticated suspension with MacPherson struts in front and rear weight ratio is 40% front and 60% back.

I know some of our readers will disagree, hell, even some of the folks here at carsandtec will beg to differ, nevertheless, I'm going to say it: I'm utterly disappointed with the styling of Alfa Romeo's 4C Concept, which is slated to enter production in 2012. Alfa had a unique chance to redefine its design language with its first mainstream rear-wheel drive model in decades but instead chose to add the Mickey Mouse - bug face treatment to a body that looks awfully similar to the Lotus Elise.  

The specific styling cues may work for the 8C Competizione but if you ask me, the 4C looks just as silly as the MiTo does. Granted; the true essence of the 4C Concept lays under the skin and in particular the mid-engine / rear-wheel drive architecture, but would it be much to ask for some of that styling magic Alfa Romeo has served us over the years?
As always, feel free to agree or disagree in our comments section below.

The Alfa Romeo 4C concept should give rise to a true "supercar compact" next year. Under the hood is an engine of 1750 cm3 with direct injection and 200 horsepower turbo version for a 0-100 km / h in under 5 seconds.

The Zagato-penned and developed Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa was finally revealed in a world premiere at this past weekend's prestigious Villa D'Este Concours.
As Zagato pointed out, the car is not a design exercise but a one off racing special that was commissioned by German collector Martin Kapp who owns, among other Alfa Romeos, an SZ coda tonda and SZ coda tronca, TZ, and TZ2, Junior Z and S.Z.
Inspired by its 1960s predecessors, the original Alfa TZ and TZ2, the TZ3 Corsa is based on a mono shell carbon fibre tubular chassis, coupled with a tubular frame and a lightweight aluminum body.
Power comes from the Alfa 8c Competizione's 4.2-liter V8 engine that develops 420-horsepower. According to Zagato, the racing car tips the scales at 850kg or 1,874 lbs, and is capable of accelerating from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in under 3.5 seconds while reaching a top speed in excess of 300km/h or 187mph.
