Back when coachbuilding was a thing ... I hope it will make a comeback with manufacturers like VW making EV platforms leaving room for design houses to have free reign. DB5, Disco Volante, 3500 GT ... Superleggera is right up there as one of the top coachbuilders.
Honestly, the Jensen sticks out from all the rest as a sore thumb on a car park... beautiful definitely isn't the word I'd use to describe the Jensen... For example, the Maserati 3500 GT was more worth the mention than that! But I know, brits...
It’s sad that the art of modern coach building has gone away, it was an era that produced some of the most elegant and beautiful cars ever built, the 2013 Disco Volante was a fantastic return of proper coach building and still remains on of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen
I liked the DB's maybe it's the James Bond thing. But a car that was not on your list which I was fortunate enough to drive as a test drive was the Renault Fuego. It drove well and had sold feel on the road. As I write I really liked the Peugeot 504 station wagon. I had all 4 wheels off the road (due to an announced drop in road angle). We landed on the other side of the dip and drove on as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do. That was in Rushctters Bay Sydney, Australia.
The Jag fans on here do realize the E-Type was not a Superleggera design, yeah? All credit to E-Type designer Malcolm Sayer but this is a Superleggera vid, not a "the best of everything" vid.
@@Gois83 Yeah, sometimes. I gotta laugh at that one. I meant E-type. With that said, it doesn't matter. The E-type is not Italian and not built by Superleggera either. But just for conversation sake, don't you think that Alpha Romero Disco Volante Coupe looks a lot like a Jaguar E-type or does the E-type look a lot like a Disco Volante coupe. The Alpha was built in "52". The E-type wasn't revealed until "61". Curious. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
@@albow4oops5 Yeh, I got caught on that one already. I meant the E type. That's the funny part. The other part is that neither are Italian. That's not so funny. When i saw this video, I didn't read the headline correctly. I did not realize that the article was about an Italian coach builder.
Stunning designs, all of them.

The italians are the masters of design in all fields...world champions
Except for tanks.
HA! Well said!
Except for shoes...ouch
In terms of pure design, yes. But in terms of reliability... not even close.
@@АртемПрохоров-Лукин if so please explain that with some examples
Please add the pre war Alfa Romeo 8C2900 Berlinetta
Absolutely stunningly and most beautiful car ever !
How to disagree?!
A s e n s a t i o n a l bodywork on what is considered the best mechanics ever among the pre II war cars
Alfa 8C 2900 is the best ever Touring bodied car to my eyes.
I second that!
Not for nothing is it considered by experts to be the most sensational car in the world of the interwar period
Italian motor car styling is the best in the world, full stop.

When it comes to cars, Italians indeed do it the best.
In design yes, but in terms of engineering and reliability, nope.
@@АртемПрохоров-Лукин fair enough,

Strange that you don't remark on the resemblance between the 1952 Alfa Romeo Disco Volante and the Jaguar E-Type.
Nice!........and Fancy!
8C 2900B LeMans Berlinetta Turing 1938!
I copy and paste:

😊
4:17 - here it looks quite similar to Skoda Octavia 1959-1971
If You make a List of Beautiful Cars You HAVE to include the Jaguar XJ66 and the Chaparal 2 D.

I like Lamborghini 350 GTV unlike Enzo insulted.
These handmade shapes, the body of the ladies, color and volumen are masterpieces.
Alfa 8c 2900 B
🥂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
How in the world did you leave out the Jaguar X-type. Even Enzo himself thought it was incredible.
Hi Axle, do you mean the E-type? Designed by Malcolm Sayer?
Man, I hope you don't mean the x-type.
You really are a bit confused...

*Editor , Please chapterise (sp) the vid ;) thanks
ALL WHEEL DRIVE, NOT 4 Wheel Drive (4x4 in silly ignorant UK speak)
4 wheel drive, is an older term, more often used, even today.
Only Italian names are there
