Someone down the street has a Urus. I cannot understand (although clearly I don't have the money to even ponder the idea) what the draw is to a $300k SUV. But the above looks like an early Ford GT.

Same here, but I've never asked them about it...

I told the wife to challenge them to race in her Lexus 500h F-Sport Performance...

My vote goes to Lamborghini Murciélago. That thing is timeless, aggressive yet elegant with panache. I love it.

Mine to the Ferrari 250 LM. Probably the best sportscar Ferrari ever built (Except the F40 and the 250 GTO).
Even the most beautiful.

"Most" beautiful is pretty hard to pin down, but I've thought for a long time that the 2010 Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta by Pininfarina is at least one of the most beautiful cars ever conceived. Unfortunately, that's all it was -- a concept car. Italian pride got in the way of it coming to production.

For me, the old school Dodge Viper is the holy grail of attainable sports cars... Too bad Im freakishly tall and cant fit...

Frankly, none of these can match the F-Type for purity of line and what will be seen as enduring beauty.

You have good taste sir. The best is the 2001 ACR in Dark Sapphire Blue without stripes but with the BBS original "snowflake" wheels. One year only. About 30 of them made. Most have been crashed.

Yep, I agree, the original coupe is still the best design and most revisions since have been a backwards step.
But of course I may be just a little biased as well!

One photo = 1000 words - just strong, clean, smooth lines with everything in balance:

it's purely a status symbol. It's a "because I can..." statement vehicle.

For me it's an original 427 Shelby Cobra. Or an original Daytona Coupe. Both gorgeous and brutal.

You should visit the Shelby museum in Boulder, CO.
