The Most Beautiful Cars of the 1970s

 

Ten most beautiful cars of the 1970s 

1. Lamborghini Miura SV (1971–73)
   The purest supercar shape ever put on the road: low, sensual, perfectly proportioned.

2. Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (early 1970s) 

   
   
   

3. Long-hood elegance with just enough sharpness—muscular without looking heavy.

4. Maserati Bora (1971–78) 
   A clean, architectural mid-engine wedge that still feels luxurious rather than gimmicky.

   
   
   

5. Citroën SM (1970–75)
   Futuristic and graceful at once—glass, taper, and stance that look like nothing else.

   
   
   

6. Jaguar XJ12 / Series II XJ (1970s)
   A masterclass in sedan proportion: low roof, long hood, understated curves.

   
   
   

7. BMW 3.0 CS / CSi / CSL (E9) (early 1970s)
   Light, airy greenhouse and perfect coupe balance—sporty without aggression.

   
   
   

8. Alfa Romeo Montreal (1970–77)
   Quirky details (louvered headlamp brows) that somehow make the whole car more exotic.

   
   
   

9. Lancia Stratos HF (1973–75 road car)
   Short, dramatic, and purpose-built—beauty through pure intent.

   
   
   

10. Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (1973)

    
    
    
    Not flashy, just “right”: compact, taut, and timeless with the ducktail.

11. Lotus Esprit S1 (1976–78)
    The wedge distilled—crisp lines and a stance that screams 1970s in the best way.
