Would also love to know this! Cars today seem less daring in terms of design, at least to my 40-something-year-old eyes.



There are many cars to get excited about, with outrageous visual and engineering designs. Materials science and drive train development is staggering.

An off-the-top of my head (recency biased) selection:

GMA T.50, Aston Martin Valkyrie, AMG One, McLaren Solus, McMurtry Speírling, Pagani Utopia, Koenigsegg Jesko.

It's not the same as the 80's, the birth of the supercar and the fight for supercar supremacy, but it's still fascinating and just as out-of-reach as it was when I was drawing F40s as a kid.


Lots of 20 somethings are dreaming about old Nissan GTRs, 1960s mustangs, Toyota Supras and so on.

Car culture is alive and well, but it isn't all dreaming about Lambos and Porsches. It is more nuanced and creative, with modified cars as an art form living a strong life.
