Ugliest supercar?

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Yeah, I thought I'd throw the Aspark in to see what people thought; truth be told I'm in two minds about it. In matt black it looks like a Batmobile concept (i.e. cool as fuck), but as someone said earlier I'm not sure you could see out of the thing, also it looks like it has next to no ground clearance, and any road car which is wider than an Aventador is a bit daft (particularly where I live).
It smacks of something that's been built specifically to set new acceleration benchmarks (fuck the compromises) but I guess we'll see.

Yeah, hypercars in general have no ground clearance (unless it has height adjustable suspension) but the Owl's size isnt a concern. It's about the same width as a 911 and narrower than an Aventador. It looks wider than it is because the cockpit is so small.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is several inches wider, and has an even tinier cockpit.

But yeah, these things aren't built for a commute through typical roads. Considering that they cost over a million, I'm sure the owners are wealthy enough that they'd never have to drive over potholed neglected streets.

As for visibility, these cars actually have superior visibility to cars like the Camaro, with their ridiculously high beltlines and gunslit windows.

EXCEPT for the rear visibility, which is less of a factor these days because of backup cameras.

Yeah you're right, I got the Aventador width comparison from Top Gear:
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/1150bhp-aspark-owl-ev-might-go-ring-record
It's actually not that wide at all. And I hear you re ground clearance, I guess I'm comparing it to supercars I've seen up close such as the Aventador, McLaren 720s etc. I've not seen one of the new breed of hypercars in the flesh but cars like the Aspark look like track setups to me; I'm not sure you could even drive it the 20 miles from my house to Silverstone to use it.

Every month local high end streak houses put on exotic car shows. It’s hysterical...the lot is filled with 100 exotics and their douchebag “look at me” owners. (I swear some wear Ferrari or Porsche or Lambo clothing to match). The place attracts Hot women and wannabe rich guys. The last 5-6 times in a row I end up taking a hot horny chick home. We walk right by the Bugatti’s and Ferrari’s and jump in my Jeep Grand Cherokee lmao. There is one Tues at Blackstone for my Long Island Doggers that wanna see the cars, or me pick up chicks.

I will say that I am always impressed the late model Vettes hang right with the super cars.

I don't know why Lambo started making horrendously looking cars lately.

I'm in the camp that thinks Hypercars aren't right for this topic, as by nature they are rarely "beautiful" at all, IMO.

Keeping with cars I've seen in person (as photos dont always capture the beauty, see: E-Type), my pick is the Mondial.

There's this guy who drives a Magnum PI old Ferrari with the top down. I suspect he goes to Whole Foods or lives in one of the expensive high rises around there.

I just saw one maybe yesterday in an unusual part of the island. It's rare to see one here. Looked like a white Aventador, but not sure.

I'm glad I read your post before commenting. I thought you were bashing the Rambo-Lambo.

Stop. That isn't real.

The Barfhghhah, is what that should be called.

Many Persians hate this thread.

Hell naw, the LM is a legend. I saw it in the flesh for the first time a couple of months ago when it casually pulled up next to me at the gas station. I couldn't believe my eyes. It's even more imposing and tanklike in person. The owner was a young guy in his 30's who says he bought it for 150k a couple of years ago and now it's worth double that. Good investment.

Those Urus values are gonna drop hard.

yeah......I'm poor.

Not exactly ugly, but the back is hideous, and it's overall too attention whoreish.

I'm trying to find a way to categorize Lena Dunham as a supercar.

What do you think is the ugliest supercar? My vote is for the horrendously overstyled Lamborghini Veneno, whose price tag of 4 million dollars exacerbates its offensiveness.

This thing is uglier than the Aztek and I can't believe grown men with design degrees came up with this.

I also think the Veyron is one of the ugliest cars in recent memory. It was a landmark engineering achievement at the time so I am a bit more forgiving of its hideous features.

Its successor, the Chiron, addressed some of the grotesque faults of this car and is actually quite handsome.


And while not as ugly as the previous two examples, the Ferrari F50 deserves a mention here. Mostly because it's one of the holy grail Ferraris and followed the timeless beauty of the F40. Yet it still stands out as one of the ugliest Ferraris in history.

So what are your choices for ugliest supercar? Please limit your choices to actual production road-legal cars, not concept cars or track-only cars.

Yeah, you have got a good taste (or should i say distaste? lol) in cars!

The Veneno not only looks overstyled, but it looks sluggish in my opinion as well - which is horrible for that kind of car.
The Veyron's front just looks very boring and uninspiring - i have to say i really dig the Chiron though.
Fully agree on the F50... that thing is atrocious, especially the headlights.

How dare you!

They all are for the most part. Pagani's entire ethos is to be as ostentatious as possible. It's like a luxury watch with a grand complication that wows other car nerds due to its immaculate construction. But they can be toned down depending on color.

But why would anyone get a black supercar? It completely hides the lines and details. My friend's wife used to own the first gen v10 R8 and that is one hell of a car. Unfortunately, she got it in black and it looked homely and nondescript (for a supercar anyway). They have since sold it and now own a Golf R and a Tiguan.

Koenigseggs are just about the simplest shape you can build a sportscar. Just a wedge. They are visually not flashy at all.

In terms of flashiness and attention, something like the BMW i8 probably outshines these to the unaware. But then again, my dream car is a Lizard Green GT3RS.

Brother... i think we have exactly the same taste in cars. Like WTF.
This GT3 RS is exorbitantly good looking. Damn.

@dissectingaorticaneurysm regarding the Chiron: saw it in Frankfurt at the IAA in 2017 (as did i see the AMG ONE, who i also happen to be a big fan of) and they had the engine at their stand as well and it's hard to put into words how insanely ginormous it is.
Really, you could show it to anyone who never saw an engine in his life and that person would realize that this thing packs a sh*tload of power.

I'll try to find pictures that i can put in the post here.
EDIT: will do tomorrow, files are too large atm and i have to go to sleep now, i'm tired.

Yeah, the Veyron is probably the most overrated car of the 21st century. It's an interesting engineering exercise that failed to mate its engine to an appropriately impressive body like the Bugattis of old.

But look how HUGE the Bugatti 41 was.

Now that's true flagship presence.

The AMG One is absolutely sexy but it feels like it's been forever since it was announced and still not released. Doubt I'd ever see one in person anyway with only 275 planned total.
