Favorite "Ugly" Supercar?

There have been multitudes of Supercars over the years. Some have been not so pleasing on the eyes.

My favorite "ugly" Supercar would have to be the Aston Martin Vantage Zagato ('86-'90). It isn't very handsome (or is it?!), but I do love it!







Do you have a favorite "ugly" Supercar?

I always loved that Aston, I think is fantastic looking. But ugly at the same time kind of a retro db5 or something

Lamborghini Countach. Too many panels, lines and creases, but it works for me! haha

this is a tough one Jason....I'm gonna have to mull this one over.
If it didn't have to be a supercar that would make it a tad easier. Supercars I love I generally love them for thier looks.

Ok got one and this may get alot of wondering looks but I'll go with the
Spyker C8


This car is a styling mess and is basically an ugly car but it some how just works it's not even that powerful and I'm not entirely sure it's a supercar in the traditional bat**** crazy sense of the word but I dig it and think it's ugly. And yes I'd love to have one.

I don't know, from certain angles I think it's quite beautiful:







But from others downright odd:

Josh that's what i'm saying it's ugly but it works
Nick I'd agree with the enzo..I'd actually probably toss in the 512 fron the 80's..it's vulgar and ugly but something about it I like.

So true. That new FF is just dumb, though.

But you can make a Fiero into a Countach, does that count?

They look like skateboard trucks probably so the front doesn't scrape the ground

I was thinking the same thing, but thought that's too stupid to be possible, but then looked at the picture again and realized there's no limit to the stupidity.

It's a Fiero...Lamborghini...asked and answered.





I agree about the Countach, but I would take ANY Countach, I had a minimum of 4 plastered on posters in my room as a kid. One on the Moon even! That was until the Diablo VT came out.

Do you have a favorite "ugly" Supercar?
Absolutely one of my favorite cars of all time. 0-60 in under 5, beastly engine, I'd sport this car anywhere and everywhere.

Now that I have to pick a new car.....
