The last F1 car that looked good?

... and one of the most beautiful, the Ferrari 641/2.

These 2 without a doubt were the best looking F1 cars...love the ferrari though.

The F1 cars now are just plain fugly...i like the mcclaren colours but not a fan of the actual design though.
 
^ that 641 is lovely

Jordan 191 - simple and elegant
Agreed on the 641, the 412T2 is a good one as well.

The Jordan 191 is nice but I prefer the 911 myself. It's the same car but in it's original shakedown form - all raw carbon.

Sauber's first effort, the 1993 C12 is another of those nice, simple designs which stands out. A fair amount of that is down to the lack of sponsorship (see a pattern here?) as well as the shape.
 
Definately agree with the Ferrari 641/2, the BMW F108 is ugly but looks awesome in some way too because of the sharp edges.

I know most don't like the modern look, but I think the Ferrari F2007 looks fantastic, especially when it's on gp2 slicks.
 
I actually like the look of the modern era cars...
I'm sure I speak for absolutely no-one when I say:

Edit: Ugh, 1024x768... Must reduce size.
 
The Brawn last year was reasonably nice looking but that was 90% livery and 10% car.

F1 cars have gone steadily downhill since the early 90s for me - between 90 and 92 half the field looked great.

Last good looking car for me was the McLaren MP4/8 (pre barge boards)

And it's 1993 grid-mate the Sauber C12

Apologies for the big pictures!

For those who like that kind of thing - the old (Damon Hill) and new (Nico Rosberg) sitting together:

and two oldies but goodies (Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill) sitting together:

Photo's taken at my last visit to Williams. :)
 
This years Lotus.

Likely because of the colour, but it does it for me with its simplistic look and classic paintwork.

Other than that you have to go back to early 90's with the low noses (like the FW14) before they are attractive again. As soon as cars started spouting high noses and winglets and flip ups and all sorts of random bits sticking out of them they got ugly. Looked at my sisters 2008 McLaren model next to my 2009 Brawn and realised just how fugly they got. So much stuff all over it!
 
Get ready for some more Ferrari 641/2 porn.

First, the original image.
