Forza Italia! Top Ten Italian Car Designs from the 60′s and 70′s
Best Classic cars of the 1960/70 from the Italian car design were prolific and have introduced the concept of Supercar. Pininfarina,Italdesign, Ghia and Zagato, designed the most beautiful cars of the 20th century and these designs bureaus were at the forefront of the concept car movement.
There is no doubt that Italian design firms were and still are the trendsetters in the world of automotive design. Though Pininfarina, Italdesign and others were pioneers they do their job with excellence because all those elegant designs became an essential part of auto design history.
The cornerstone of Italian designers is putting creative elements in the exterior design, experimenting with the shapes, colors and new materials. You may have noticed that all these supercars have really aerodynamic body and this feature became a trademark of the Italian super cars. Another revolutionary thing was the original interior design that was very ascetic though still elegant and charismatic. We’ve got nothing to do except keep praising the Italian designers and show you our vision of really notable Italian supercar designs from that legendary epoch. Enjoy!

March 18, 2010Are these the “Top 10 Ugliest” or “Top 10 Most likely to be mistaken for a bicycle ramp”
You’re missing quite a few Ferrari classics if this is a real top 10 list.

March 19, 2010You really should have picked better pictures.. that Countach picture definitely doesn’t do it justice.
Good post though, you just picked the absolute worst pictures of these cars you could, I understand.
Everyone just go google a car if you are interested in it, and it will probably look a little better then 😉
LOL
March 19, 2010I’m pretty sure the last one is actually a bicycle ramp.

March 22, 2010This is a nice grouping of door stops other than the very nice Dino 206. Your line “is putting creative elements in the exterior design, experimenting with the shapes, colors and new materials” I do not see many “creative elements” I see “not creative copying”.
hmmm

February 4, 2013When you drive one of these cars you don’t need rear view mirrors, nobody is ever behind you for so long to be worth of looking at.
Rather, all of them have huge glass surface in the front, so you see what’s coming at you.
And to those bitchin’: you just wish.
