All subjective
11/15/2023
There have always been terribly ugly cars, but also beautiful ones. Tastes differ, of course, which is a good thing and also the reason why even the ugliest cars have always been, or still are, seen on the road.
A great personality once explained to me about the Ford Scorpio, which I found particularly ugly: "When you drive the car, you can't see what it looks like from the outside!" So far so good, but I have to get into the car first and I don't necessarily want to be terribly ashamed of it every time ...
In the meantime, however, the ugliness is slowly reaching its peak. Visually, some vehicles look like "cyber monsters". Not much has remained of the former organic curves; on the contrary, only a pattern of corners and edges can be seen in all directions.
And now the Turin-based company ErreErre Fuorieserie has landed the absolute super hit with its carbon retro body kit for the current Giulia, in the form of the 1960s Giulia (Tipo 105). Sure, it will certainly attract attention, but this "Lego car" can certainly not be described as beautiful.
In any case, I can't imagine that the entire development effort of around 5000 hours of design development was worth it at all. And now a total of 33 of them are to be sold. Well, among the 8 billion people on this planet, there will certainly be 33 with bizarre tastes.
"Our main goal is to combine Italian craftsmanship with the most modern design and construction techniques," can be read on the Erre-Erre website. From my point of view, 50 years ago and more, much more beautiful things were born with the simplest means such as paper and pencil.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. With the recently presented "Inception Concept" from Peugeot, however, I also find it difficult to simply say "Wow" enthusiastically ...
But that's just it: It's all subjective.
