Top 5 Sexiest Cars Of All Time, According To Horacio Pagani

Jaguar-E-Type

Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type is one of many few non-Italian cars on Mr. Pagani’s list. Originally introduced in 1961, the E-Type runs on the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with a 3.8-liter inline-six engine under its long hood. Making 265 hp, the Jaguar E-Type was more than simply a fairly machine — it may move, too. Many designers reference the E-Type as an important influence, so it’s not just a huge surprise to see Mr. Pagani give some props to the British icon.

Lamborghini Miura

The Lamborghini Miura is celebrating its 50th anniversary this season, and it was an important talking point during 2016 Monterey Car Week festivities. Many Miura owners were proudly displaying their Italian supercars during the week. Even celebrity and comedian Adam Carolla had his Miura SV taking the main Pebble Beach Concours. The Miura features a devote history to be one of many first, high-performance mid-engined cars ever. It practically invented the word supercar, so it’s no real surprise to notice it here on Mr. Pagani’s list.

Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing is another iconic car, but not just one that gets lots of credit among car designers. This choice will need to have been created by Mr. Pagani’s inner engineer, because once the 300SL debuted, it was the fastest production car available. A high speed of 160 mph still sounds impressive today, however the car’s 3.0-liter inline-six engine was one of many first motors to utilize direct-injection. The 300SL was named because of its unique gullwing doors, and you will see that inspired Pagani, because the doors on the Huayra fold upwards as well.

De Tomaso Pantera

1976 DeTomaso Pantera GTS

The De Tomaso Pantera is one of the most misunderstood classics in supercar history. The mix of Italian styling by having an American V8 is something that’s hard to ignore, but many classic car connoisseurs balk at the quirky car. Fortunately, Mr. Pagani isn’t anyone to deny this car’s cool factor, as he named it out by name when discussing a number of the more beautiful cars of time. Still, this is surely a surprising entry with this list.

Lamborghini Countach

1985 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S Quattrovalvole

“Wild” will be the perfect one-word description of the Lamborghini Countach, the ultimate car Mr. Pagani outed as a beauty in his eyes. Granted, you may describe the Huayra with exactly the same word, however the Countach clearly made it happen first, arriving on the scene in the mid 1970s with a V12 engine, similar to the Pagani. Even though Countach’s six-second sprint to 60 is just a laughable figure set alongside the Huayra’s sub-three-second time, the 2 cars will at the least be known ever to be some of the most unique looking cars ever built.
