There are tons of F1 Cars that look good, mostly past and a few present. You don't have to post a pic, just your thoughts.

I'd wager that JPS black/gold livery is on everybody's list. 
F1 Racing Magazine ran a 'photoshoped' photo of what the current McLaren would look like with black/gold livery (Johnny Walker sponsorship). I was soooo disappointed when it ran with silver instead...
We need:
1) Black/gold livery
2) Gold rims on the Ferrari

That T1G is probably one of the best looking cars ever. And ofcourse there is a McLaren connection
BTW, this is the best looking car ever raced, the 1954 Mercedes W196R. All other racers look like they have been buildt in someones garage compared to this beauty.

I do agree. Although all the wingdings and aero bits, and space age design the present cars have, they can never reach the level of sofistication and beauty of the past racers. Maybe someone will have a different opinion 50 years down the line, but for now we decide whom is the better looking
