This Porsche restored CGT looks terribad. Who thought green over two tone gold/silver wheels with a pinky-red interior was a good plan?

Whoever did should be fired.

Hotter take: the CGT is not an attractive car in general. It’s proportions are ungainly and if it wasn’t for the howling V10/manual combo nobody would remember it fondly.

At least it’s better l ooking than the Enzo, but the MC12 is undoubtedly the best looking supercar of the era. (Unless we can include the Ford GT which hasn’t aged a day)

This is the coldest of takes

I’m the exact opposite. I think the MC12/Enzo are absolutely hideous.

I do agree that the color combo needs some work.

I like the Carrera GT, but yeah, this is not the color scheme I’d pick for mine.

Huh, I don’t mind the cgt much. The Maserati looks terrible in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I also like ws6 hoods though.

It takes real skill to pull off both gold and silver in the same outfit.

Porsche has not succeeded.

I guess I’m the counter hot take in that I like it. Not perfect in my eyes, I’d rather have a black/grey houndstooth interior pattern. But I’d rock this one all  day, every day.

The green would be fine on its own, but the wheels and interior are really bad.

The color is cool, but the wheels and interior are no good for it. Agree on the proportions, I’ve always wondered how it would look with a real roof. The MC12 though... not my favorite, but better looking than an Enzo. I think the GT1 racer with a real wing is much better than the Stradale.

Also this CGT reminds me of that fugly “new” 993 turbo they did in gold over black wheels . Looks like a Gumball car.

Warm take: Gold on green is 10/10 , the silver and red ruin it.
The CGT is one of my favorites but boy howdy that MC12 is ugly.
Best looking supercar of the era is the Koenigsegg CCR

The CCR is at least clean, but the front end was underdeveloped IMO.

I’m with you. The CGT isn’t pretty, but the other two are flat ugly.

I’m ok with the green, but the red leather was a huge mistake, and gold died in about 1997. Get rid of the gold, make the red leather a tan color, and I’m in love.

I get that but it’s proportions aren’t better imo.  If it’s not a 70s Lincoln, the wheels should be pushed to the corners.

The gold on green I can tolerate. The overall shape is edema, the red seats are acne, and the gold/silver wheels are leprosy.

The blunt nose on these has always bugged me, glad they finally fixed it.

I cant fix the odd proportions, but I can at least help with some of the poor colour clash choices

a subtle gunmetal or something would just work better against the green

I kind of really love the color combo on that CGT.....

Also not a huge fan of the MC12.It’s cool, but just doesn’t do it for me.

I much prefer the Saleen S7 over the MC12, and the CGT over that, but if we toss the GT in I would take that. The GT is properly good. I got to drive one that had some modifications to it and I don’t think any other street car I’ve driven has come close.

I like the green, I’m very mixed on the gold, don’t like the red. I’m not a fan of the MC12.

But you’re right about the GT. Just as pretty as it was 15 years ago.

Green with a red interior you say?

The wheels are awful, I’d choose bronze or silver (not chrome). Gold would work if the green was a bit brighter.

That dark green is superb, though . Imagine it wrapped around a light-coloured interior... light tan or linen, very light gray, or even ivory. OOOOooooooo yes!

Maybe make the whole wheels  darker brushed gold and a black interior? Hell, I didn’t mind the wheels in the first shot, then in the second shot where they fade to an almost salmon color the close r you get the lug I was like “alright I see this guy’s point.”

I think it is a bit much, but green/gold is perfect.

Agreed on the CGT, the interior ruins the car. The exterior i could take it or leave it.

The MC12 is a good contender and the 1st gen Ford GT and GT40 hasnt aged since 1964. The new one I feel might not age well.

But if we are going 00s super cars though, one blows them all out of the water. And surprisingly it comes from the US, the S7. Remember it came out in 2000. The MC12 was 2004

If we are going the Enzo/MC12 twins , I love the half brother the FXX. Even if its not street legal.

Oh, the S7 (especially in orange) is one of the prettiest super cars ever, probably even better than the MC12. The FXX is still ugly.

Wat else is green and outside and red inside? Oh, yeah...

Porsche has created a very fast watermelon.

And with that Big Block, one of the best sounding. Though its surprisingly hard to find a good video. Its an easily forgotten Supercar w ith major credentials backing it up. Racing or Top Speed.   R emember the Twin Turbo   hit 248mph the same year the Veyron with 1000hp hit 253mph. And it  had 250 less hp...

And I know its ugly but for some reason I like it
