Recently, Classic & Sports Car magazine paneled a group of legendary designers to discuss (and choose) the world’s most beautiful, sexy, all-encompassing sportscar of the ages.  The gaggle of designers included Giorgetto Giugiaro, Leonardo Fioravanti, Peter Stevens, Marcello Gandini, and Ian Callum in what must have been a truly raucus night of design debauchery and mayhem.  Oh, the Prismacolors that were burned that evening!

The vehicle they chose?  The classic Citroen DS, known for its “tub” assembly methods and frequent appearances in classic films of the 50s & 60s.

Runners-up included your general assortment of Ferraris, Lotuses (Loti?), and Lamborghinis, as well as a few surprises.  Classic Rallies has the full scoop.
