But 0-60 in 3.9 just about 200mph in 1983, it was amazing!

Back looks alright old 911 lights front looks better!

Im not going by performance here

They really should have put an MK1 MR2 style back window on that thing :\

This car holds it well(Well i think it does) It has to be the Top of the range STI or P1 or 22B model though

(none of this lower model cheap stuff)

Oi you, your critique on style is well documented

Ferrari 308 and it's final incarnation the 288GTO.

Reminds me of Johnny Number 5, looks good too.

the scoob is pretty ugly, they sold purely on the performance.

One more car, whilst it does look like an old car it's looks without doubt are timeless, the Cobra. :cool:

No it isnt, the Mini is irrefutably a 1960's car. It's the least timeless car ever

The bug is the least timeless car around so your wrong baout the mini

Smiley Man · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:52

a timeless one car is one that looks modern now considering how old it is

a mini looks like a 1960s bubble to me

i am going to be VERY biased here so dont shoot me

but the 206 is fairly timeless, seeing as its now 8 or so years old and still doesnt look out of place next to other brand new superminis

8 years is far too new to be saying that, there are numerous 8 year old cars which, whilst they hardly look old now, are far from timeless. In another 8 years the 206 will look old.

Hardly flamed, just an illustration as to how you were wrong

A quick straw poll - is there ANYONE here who, when given a choice of one of three cars completely free would chose the Honda:

a) 1997 Honda NSX 3.0
b) 1997 Ferrari F355
c) 1997 Porsche 911

I would have to drive them first really. I have a thing, maybe unfounded against ferraris I just don't like the look of them, I would take the porsche over the ferrari, I am undecided between the NSX and Ferrari.

Of course you could always stick a turbo in the back of the NSX and have some fun.

Then I heard this:

Wikipedia said:
On July 20, 2005, a mere several days after the announcement of the closure of current NSX production, Honda CEO Takeo Fukui announced that a new NSX was under development and would sport a Formula 1-inspired V10 motor, with speculation that it might have the SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) system from the Acura RL. In addition, he stated it would be ready within three to four years.

I have never seen either one in the flesh but in these photos they look pretty timeless. (Perhaps not the wheels on the 250 though...)

Sorry for being boringly predictable but....

There's something beutifully minimalistic about the FD. It just looks like the bodywork has been 'draped' over a smooth, aerodynamic skeleton :cool:

Not bad for a 15-year-old design :cool:
