All cars made in the last 20 years look like that. It’s wind tunnel design, there’s only one optimal overall shape that a car can have.


I have seen this described as “looksmaxxing for cars” and I can’t unsee it now.


it's effiencymaxxing. automotive looksmaxxing peaked in the 80s, the decade when new car designs looked the best


Citroen DS, Jaguar e-type, Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, MB Gullwing, BMW 507 and a whole raft of other 50's, 60's and 70's cars look much better than anything that I even remember designed in the 80's. Of course that's just my opinion, but those cars are so iconic, do you have any particular cars in mind for that period which you really liked?
