Best Looking F1 Car?

I like the current (2005) Renault F1 car.

 

The Gurney Eagle.

 

That is one of my favorite modern cars. But I do have a place in my heart for the pre-wing/areo-addon cars.

 

Ferrari F189...with the high intake...very nice indeed ( plus this is when I started watching as a kid)

mmm...interesting one... my pick's sauber i guess...but past years, i favored the F2001 as the most beautiful car Ferrari's ever desinged, then i like the F2002 as well, but the rear end of the F2003Ga was breathtaking...

 

here's the F2001

1967 Lotus 49. That would have to rank pretty far near the top.

1967 Gurney Eagle

1967 Ferrari 312

'67 was a banner year for good looking F1 cars. The larger engine formula of 3 liters coupled with pre-aero designs resulted in pure beauty.


1957 "Lightweight" Maserati 250F

1963 Lotus 25.

1959 Ferrari 246 Dino



Clearly, I find the very clean look of the pre-aero cars to be gorgeous. Once they sprouted all the wings and appendages, aesthetics declined.

F1 era
1. Gurney Eagle
2. Lotus 49
3. Maserati 250F

Pre-F1 era
1. Alfa Romeo P3 (pre-F1)
2. Bugatti Type 51
3. Auto Union Type C/ Mercedes W125

 

I agree on the 1967 cars; that's why I bought "Grand Prix Legends". Of all the cars, though, the Eagle-Weslake goes right to the top of the list. The Lotus 49 is good, but I prefer the 33.

Of the front-engined cars, the last iteration of the Maserati 250F is hard to beat, but I also like the Lotus 16.

Of Ferraris, my favorite is the 1970 312B, followed by the 1967/68, 1989/90 and 1959/60 cars.

The 1975/76 312T gets special mention by the fact that it was so well-designed that it never had a perceptible change in appearance during its entire racing life!

 

Too easy - the Eagle-Weslake of 1967.............and I saw it's first win!

..................but as this is Fchat, Ferraris only:

1959 F1 Dino 246 - best of the front-engined cars, streamlined too.

1963-64 F1 156/Aero monocoque - so pretty, and Bandini's only win.

And the 1966 F1 312 - I prefer this version to the 1967 'spaghetti exhaust' car.

As Terry says, once they sprouted aerodynamic aids, looks didn't come into it.

I kinda like the designs of BMW and renaults but i Love Ferrari F1 all the way....

 

Some of my favorites..
Ferrari 412T2, Ferrari F2003-GA, Ferrari 641, Maserati 250F, Mercedes W196, McLaren MP4/4, Williams FW18...

 

The Benneton B188 and the McLaren MP4/6. Something about the number 27. Also the Ferrari 641 of that same year. Beautiful cars and not cluttered with all those flip ups and viking wings of the current cars.

 

All Ferrari F1 cars ever made. Above and beyon the competition!
Any other F1 car just pales in comparison!

 

Mclaren MP4/8

 

From the side profile I like the 1972 March 721. Although the Ferrari above and to the right of it (1970) looks really nice too.

Im a huge fan of the Red Bull cars. Their color combo has been one of my favorites for a long time. Although I definately cannot deny the beauty of the Ferraris, especially the F2002.

Although I love the 312B, my favorite has to be the 641/2... Looks like it's doing Mach 3, standing still.

 

I like the F2005, This year's Renault, and last year's McLaren with the fighter jet nose. That was good looking

 

The minardi 2005 car...bootiful

 

Just beautiful:
