Sensuous & Stylish Car Shapes Ever Designed

Dear readers, this is our first post of a new series. We also added category ‘Auto’ to TheWondrous so in future we will regularly disucss wonders in autos. Lets have a look today at the joys of design in cars.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, by Franco Scaglione – 1967

 The street version of the Alfa-Romeo Tipo 33 racing car was designed by Franco Scaglione. It continued the string of simply enchanting designer bodies for Alfa Romeo in the 50s and 60s (see for example the Pininfarina custom body for Alfa Romeo 33.

 The first production vehicle to have “butterfly” doors, the first mid-engined Alfa Romeo road car appeared at Milan Motorshow in 1967. Its voluptuous, nicely proportioned shape many consider to be one of the most beautiful designs ever

 On a racing track the car was intended to lock horns with Ferrari (then promoting its famous Dino 206S) and a line of 910s from Porsche. It went from 0 to 60mph in just 6 seconds, and could reach maximum speed of 162 mph (260 km/hr) – making it a true supercar at the time, perhaps even better than Ferrari Daytona.

 Only such 18 cars were built due to their high price.

 The 33 Series Alfa-Romeo attracted numerous stylists in 60′s and 70′s.

Sensuous & Stylish Car Shapes: German Style

 Porsche designers rarely change designs, they prefer to stick to good old shape. But in case of  Porsche 904 Carrera GTS its not the same story.

 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS‘s street version bring stylish curves on highways.  The car was a funky looking stylish car.

The 904 model debuted in 1963, as an answer to the new great cars from Alfa-Romeo and Abarth in GT class.

It does had a short chasis and a compact styling.

 Following images are taken from 904 concept brucher. These are some very rarely seen images.

 This car amazes with its verstility and elegance of design & performance. It won second place in a snow-covered 1965 Rallye Monte Carlo.
