The Most Beautiful Car In The World

Made in Coventry England the Jaguar E-Type (UK) or XK-E (US) is a British automobile, manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1974. Its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing resulted in a great success for Jaguar, with more than 70,000 E-Types being sold over its lifespan, and became an icon of 1960s motoring. In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in Daily Telegraph list of the "100 most beautiful cars" of all time.In 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.
The E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two seater coupé form (FHC or Fixed Head Coupé) and as convertible (OTS or Open Two Seater). The 2+2 version with a lengthened wheelbase was released several years later.
When released Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever made".
The model was made in 3 distinct versions generally referred to as "Series 1", "Series 2" and "Series 3". A transitional series between Series 1 and Series 2 is known unofficially as "Series 1½".
In addition, several limited-edition variants were produced:
The "'Lightweight' E-Type" which was apparently intended as a sort of follow-up to the D-Type. Jaguar planned to produce 18 units but ultimately only a dozen were reportedly built. Of those, one is known to have been destroyed and two others have been converted to coupé form. These are exceedingly rare and sought after by collectors.

ASTON MARTIN DB-7

The Aston Martin DB7 was a grand tourer motor car produced by the Aston Martin Motor company at Newport Pagnell England From 1994 to 2003 who produced 7,000 vehicles making it the highest ever Aston Martin model produced.The DB-7 coupe sold in the USA for $140,000, and the Volante for $150,000.

The Chrysler 300c

The Chrysler 3.0-litre turbodiesel. has a better gas economy than the petrol-powered 300C SRT-8. The SRT-8 has a 419bhp 6.1-litre V8, and can take the car from 0-60mph in just five seconds.Although being a big motor it is quiet untill you hit higher speeds when road & wind noise become audible.
Inside the 300C's it is comfortable enough although the plastics and trim don't look as classy as those in European rivals.
Crash protection is excellent, thanks to standard front, side, window and rear airbags. Stability control is also fitted, and deadlocks and an engine immobiliser protect against theft.
Behind the wheel
Eight-way seat adjustment helps the driver to make himself comfortable, but things would be better if the steering wheel moved for reach as well as height. It's hard to see the front and rear of the car, too, while the comparatively small windscreen and big front pillars create blind spots in tight corners.
Standard equipment on this beauty puts many rivals to shame. Alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, cruise control and heated leather seats with power adjustment are all included. Every car also has dual-zone climate control, which tailors the temperature individually for front and rear passengers.

The BMW CS

The CS will be the new flagship of the German car maker BMW replacing the "old" 7-Series car.
BMW plans for the CS to rival the likes of the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, as well as the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG.
This four-seater car that BMW describes as a “luxury Gran Turismo” will take the company further upmarket, bridging the gap that currently exists between the 7-Series and Rolls-Royce (also owned by BMW).
The CS concept is expected to be built on a modified version of the next-generation 7-Series.
Dimensionally it is similar in length to the current Seven, at 5.1 metres, but it is wider (nearly two metres) and lower (1.36 metres). The wheelbase is more than three metres long.

The 911 Porsche

The Porsche 911:is a sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. The famous, distinctive, and durable design is notable for being rear engined like the Porsche-designed Volkswagen Beetle it had been based on. It was also air-cooled until the introduction of the all-new Type 996 in 1998.
Since its inception the 911 has been modified, both by private teams and the factory itself, for racing, rallying and other types of automotive competition. It is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, as the normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSR in the mid 1970s has won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring or Nürburgring outright even against prototypes. The 935 turbo also added the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979.
In the international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth after the Ford Model T, the Mini, the Citroën DS and the Volkswagen Beetle. It is the most successful surviving application of the air (now water) cooled opposed rear engine layout pioneered by its original ancestor, the Volkswagen Beetle, having increased its original 25 PS more than tenfold, or 30fold in turbocharged race cars. It is the third-oldest sports car nameplate still in production, behind the Chevrolet Corvette, and the Nissan Skyline.
