These four Neri et Bonacini masterpieces have been well hidden in private collections for decades - I'm sure Marcel Massini knows where they are, but he's not talking. I haven't even seen a picture of one since the last time I went through Fitzgerald & Merritt. I get short of breath just looking at them.
Easily one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever - which, of course, means one of the most beautiful cars ever. The only real flaw in the design is the lethal proximity of the upper left corner of the windshield to the driver's head. Any sort of impact and he would be wearing it - it's literally only inches away. Oh, well - I'd be more than willing to risk it.

It looks very nice and I believe you can see a lot of the TR4 in it, especially along the flank. Did it have the IRS, or a straight axle?
We all like C1/C2s, but I would guess that, in the future, cars like this produced in the 50s will command as much as high end Corvettes. No derivative styling and truly one of a kind.

The whole time during this thread, I have thought more of us are missing the mark on Best Automotive Design over Best Looking or Best Performing.
Thus realistically, things like the VW Bug would be a candidate, or a Truck.
or the 911, it's a model which only received minor cosmetic changes throughout it's lifetime and the base shape has never changed. nevertheless most people consider it one of the most beautiful cars.

True! Nothing else has had the same continuous base for its lifespan and with so many twists & turns, and variants. I would probably give the accolade to the 4.0 GT-2 RS!
I consider different Corvette generations as distinct models! But then a long lifetime doesn’t necessarily need to be a qualifier!
The way I would make the definitive list would be year to year! The most bold, striking, innovative, the forefather of historical, etc etc etc
