Today’s societies understand that beauty can respond to personal tastes. However, proportion and measure formed the foundations of the beauty of ancient civilizations. Thus, the car trading platform has used the golden ratio to draw up a list of the most beautiful cars in history. The company tested nearly 200 cars.
Dating back 2,500 years, the golden ratio is a mathematical equation used as a benchmark for ideal proportions. Historically it was used by architects and artists in search of perfection and Michelangelo was a great admirer, he used it when painting The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
In more recent times, it is often used to analyze the beauty of human faces, as was the case with George Clooney who was considered to be the most mathematically perfect person. And now, it is Carwow that has used the golden ratio to study the ‘faces’ of high-performance cars
The Ferrari Monza SP1, which the Italian company describes as a “modern aesthetic to reinterpret a timeless style”, is the most beautiful car on this list. Plus, it’s also the only car from the last decade to make the top 10.
Admittedly, the 1960s weren’t just a swing for art, music, and fashion, it was also pretty good for car design, with an incredible seven out of the 10 most beautiful performance cars ever created. that decade. In fact, it’s easy to see the influence of the ’60s on the winning car.
