Esquire says these are the 100 Hottest Cars of All Time.

What say you GRM, what is the most jaw dropping gorgeous car ever?

Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, gets my vote. And this is a bad pic!

Wow, 100 clicks... that's a lot of click bait!

Don't really want to scroll through 90 pics to see the top ten.

This one is pretty nice, Ferrari GTO:

I don't think the newer TVR Tuscan was that great-looking with it's beady eyes, I preferred the Sagaris instead. Also, I don't feel like the R35 GT-R or the Bugatti Veyron are that handsome either. And no McLaren P1, which IMO, is one of the best-lookign cars ever. It doesn't look like it was made as much as grown from a strange alien organic metal. Also, the 1968-69 Chargers, which defined Coke bottle styling, and the ahead-of-ti's-time 1953 Studebaker were missing as well

Looks like a big list of click bait cars we've been told were supposed to like. Alfa spyder but no giulia or giulietta or Montreal, Maserati 300 or even Ferrari 308, much less a Lusso or 250 gt.

Not clicking 100 times.

Also, it wanted me to click on a "12 shoes every man needs" story.

I own more cars than I own pairs of shoes.

When I was in junior high, the schoolbus took me past a shopping center driveway where a guy had an XR4Ti hood up and flames gaily leapt from the valve cover, looked like the gasket had been leaking and finally ignited.

Therefore I submit that the XR4Ti was one of the hottest cars I have ever seen.

Somewhere deep in the mists of the Internet is an image of a DSM at a local rallycross that blew its headgasket sideways and ignited some underhood wiring. With me standing in front of it, holding a Gatorade, that I had just spent my last three bucks on, debating on if I should use the drink to extinguish his car or drink it and avoid getting heatstroke again. So DSMs can be pretty hot too.

(I doused the fire and the guy ended up buying me a new Gatorade.)

In reply to Flight Service: Wow! are they ever wrong!

Number 1 has to be the MGTC. That little car with it's drop dead looks and giant 19 inch wire wheels started the whole sports car craze here in America.. It's what returning GI's brought back after WW2

The XK-E is known as the greatest crumpet collector of all time and No less than Enzo Ferrari thought it was the most beautiful car of all time it has to be in the top 2

To list the "C" type but ignore the "D" type particularly in the long nose 1955 version with it's tailfin is obviously a mistake.

Finally the XK 120 only number 41? Drive one up the coast to Monterrey with that big six barking it's authority and those long luscious fenders stretching to the horizon? Then tell me it's only #41
