The Ferrari Monza SP1 is the most beautiful car in the world, says science – Robb Report

Acceleration points argue over the most beautiful car since the car was first invented. Now they can finally get their answer.

After analyzing nearly 200 vehicles, Carwow named the Ferrari Monza SP1 the most beautiful car in the world in 2019. The determination was not achieved through ‘expert’ voting or other subjective criteria for the case. On the contrary, the British car sales platform applied the Golden Ratio to the design of the vehicle, which found that the Italian market’s retro futuristic speedster was the closest to the ‘perfect proportions’.

The Golden Ratio is over 2,500 years old and is a mathematical equation used to determine ideal ratios. Artists and designers as far back as Michelangelo used the relationship to refine their work and make it more aesthetic.

For the study of the car website, 14 points were depicted on the front view of each car – including aspects such as the headlights, windscreen and side mirrors – the distance between each point was measured and then the numbers entered into a computer. After all the results were tabulated, it was Ferrari’s torpedo – like sports car that followed the ratios of the Golden Ratio best, with an alignment of 61.75 percent.

It’s easy to see why the computers were so moved by the Monza SP1. The speedster, which is limited to the 750 Monza, 250 Testarosa and 166 MM, is the rare vehicle that does not want to look bad in the past or in the future. With flowing lines from front to back, it’s clear that the open seat for one seat is designed for two things: going fast and turning heads.

The Monza SP1 won a tough field for its title. To determine the most beautiful performance car, Carwow analyzed 197 performance sports cars released since 1950. Of these, the Monza was the only car of the past decade to crack a top 10 dominated by vehicles from the ’60s and’ 70s. In second place was the Ford GT40 from 1964 (61.64 percent in line with the gold ratio), followed by the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Special (61.15 percent), the Lotus Elite 1974 (60.07 percent) and 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (59.95 percent). The 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 (58.65 percent) also appears in the top 10, raising the carmaker’s number of entries to four. As for the beautiful car design, the Golden Ratio suggests that no one does it just like the Prancing Horse. We certainly can not argue.
