I saw the thread title and instantly thought Mosler. Thanks for being on the ball so I didn't have to go searching for those pics.

I have not liked any lamborghini since the Miura. From the Contach on they have been about being "in your face" with the styling.

There is a reason I prefer my supercars to be from Modena and Designed by Pininfarina

Ack, Ferrari styling has been going downhill since the 355 and is only recently starting to improve again. The Gallardo is awesome IMNSHO

Bugatti Veyron. At least it is a supercar.

A tarted up C70 doing 0-60 in 6 seconds is not a supercar imo.

For general ugliness, I've never seen anything to beat this one. First time I saw it, I thought it was a styling joke. Finding out it's a real production car...and you can actually buy one. Astonishing.

That front has a definite female association, it is not the long legs or swelling breasts either.

Flame suit on......check.

Porsche 928. Yeah I said it. I have always wondered how Porsche could go from a relatively good looking car like the 944:

To a half-melted, bloated facsimile whose only styling uniqueness is they have headlights with all the maintenance of retractables, and none of the styling benefit:

If you guys are going to call Diablos ugly, I'm sure going to point out properly ugly ones .

Good call! The Mitsuoka Orochi came instantly to mind when I read this topic, followed by the Mosler Consulier that was mentioned earlier. Another one for the mix is the Covini C6W - I've seen it in person and I still can't understand why it was ever made:

I agree. Lambos are better looking then Ferraris anyday.

All of the cars posted are Models of good taste compared to the original post.

The OP wins (read: loses).

I kinda like the Gumpert, in a sort of I-assume-it-looks-like-that-because-it-helps-with-the-insane-speed way...

It kinda looks like a supercar doorstop attacked with a DTM body kit...

Got it, you're British - - you have to say that.

While I like Lamborghini's for what they are, I'm not a fan of origami styling...cars need curves.

And the Gumpert was first on my list of ugly as well.

That Puma was the first thing I saw when arriving at the LA Show. I immediately gasped "Holy E36 M3, is that thing ugly", then apologized to the poor guy sitting with it. Good lord. If the Kardashians produced a car, that would be it. berkeleyer looks like melted rubber.

It's certainly not the ugliest, but I don't see why everyone thinks the 458 is good looking. The whole front end of that car is just a mess.

I hope those little signs next to the Puma say 'please do not look at this car'.

I'm going to be the devil's advocate, here, and say I actually think that thing is pretty cool, WITH THE EXCEPTION of those weird crease/fold/dent things in the sides. Smooth those out and I'd rock it.

First thing I thought when I saw it was "cool, somebody made an off-road Boxster." I'd hoon it around a rallyx course.

I think the Puma is Volvo C70 Convertible derived... Nothing super about that.

What about this?

At least the others have some continuity of design. The mosler raptor looks like a couple of old kit cars stitched together with some winnebago remnants using a hacksaw and rivets.

I personally love the looks of this!

Though as a child of the 80's I'd want one of these parked next to a Countach(with extra nose wing please as well as the monsterous deck lid one), and Pantera GT5 with full kit on it. 8)

In reply to Type Q:

DAMMIT!!!

I was literally coming in here to post the Vector!!!

928 and Diablo in this discussion is a little wacky, though. 928 is a design that's aged very well IMHO.

It didn't even occur to me that someone here could have been subjected to viewing this car live. If my posting this here caused flashbacks or PTSD-like symptoms, please accept my sincere apology.

the pic. taker could have gotten a closer shot of her … but even from a distance I think she's pretty good looking …. oh .. wait ..

I think you skipped one of the prettiest of the Modern Ferraris.. the 360 Modena.

The 928, especially in S4 guise, is a sweet looking design with just enough details to keep it's "hardboiled egg" design from being boring
