And on other peoples' cars:
Steve Crijns of Lotus on the Ford GT40:
"It's so sexy and has so much presence without really being aggressive."
Paul Bracq, former head of design for both Mercedes and BMW, on the Aston Martin DB9:
"It's more beautiful than the current Ferraris. I don't understand modern Ferrari design: the new California looks like a big VW Karmann-Ghia."
Julian Thomson of Jaguar on the Lamborghini Gallardo:
"I love the proportions" It's a tiny modern interpretation of a supercar: things like the Bugatti Veyron are totally irrelevant to me."
Martin Smith, executive design director of Ford of Europe on the Lamborghini Countach:
"It was like a spaceship, something totally new combining smooth curves with geometric forms. I remember thinking `I'll never be able to do something as good as that!'"
Ian Callum, Jaguar director of design, on the Ferrari 250GT Short-wheelbase:
"A blend of beauty and aggression" I just drool over them, and I can draw them with my eyes closed."
Marcello Gandini on the Cord 810/812:
"It was an impressive design for the 1930s, with solutions that could be seen in cars of 20 years later."
Tom Tjaarda, former head of Ghia's studios, on the Jaguar E-type:
"A gorgeous car. It looks narrow, like a woman in high heels. It doesn't have the stance that cars have today."
