About This Quiz
Since they first hit the road, the design of cars has always featured extremely high on the list of reasons why people purchase a vehicle. Even in the early days, when cars were very similar, those that were a bit more unique and beautiful certainly stood out.Â
Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we are sure that you will agree that our list of the 50 most beautiful motor vehicles is top notch! But will you be able to identify them? It is not as easy as you may think. Beautiful cars have been made throughout the 130 years of motoring, many of them in the early years as well.
The 1930s, in particular, had some incredibly beautiful machines, while the open-top sports cars of the '50s and '60s are a sight to behold as well. In the '70s, styles changed, with many angular designs hitting the scene, particularly in the sports car field. And let's not forget the '80s, '90, 2000s and the past number of years where the design envelope has been pushed further.
This means radically different-looking cars, but they remain beautiful none the less.
Only 1 in every 42 people can identify our beautiful cars in this quiz. Will you ace the test?

After a period of 25 years without a Challenger model, this classic muscle car marque was reintroduced in 2008. It was an adapted design from the Dodge Challenger R/T of the 1970s, which we think you would agree, was a masterstroke. Menace and beauty are rolled into one package here.
