Although not as practical as the NSX, the Ariel Atom A500 is quite interesting from a performance perspective (500hp and only weighs 500 kilos). My idea of a proper sports car😀

Jeremy Clarkson's review of the vehicle is quite entertaining.

That a Panamera? Hideous.

for people like you SUVs were invented because you thought minivans were ugly.

i don't suppose there is a chance people will ever learn to see substance behind the veneer.

hatchback, minivan and station wagon are the most practical shapes - therefore they are considered most ugly.

meanwhile coupe and roadster are the least practical - therefore they are considered best looking.

of course panamera will eat 90% of all coupes and roadsters on the road alive both in a straight and around corners. but what does that mean to an average person whose engineering prowess is limited to counting doors.
 
Back in 1995, this is what I wanted for $100,000.
0-60mph: 3.7 seconds
0-1/4 mile: 12.1s @ 116 mph
Top Speed: 192 mph

At the time, and still to this day, that was really something.

The NSX would have been my second choice at the time. It was like a Ferrari on the cheap that was probably more reliable. I just always liked the goofy looks of those Porsches. Form must have followed function. Same goes for the four door Porsche--but for some reason I have zero desire for it.

Here's some other eye candy from a local car show that I find to be classics:
