riiiight, go buy a dictionary, better yet I'll teach you:

beau·ti·fully
Pronunciation Key (byt-fl-y)
adv.
in a beautiful manner
I'll forgive you though, only cause you picked the Zonda

and even this


I don't really think that today's cars are good looking in the same way as the older cars, with some exceptions of course. Todays cars are too calculated in their design, there are too many issues with aerodynamics which push the deisgns in a certain direction, they are beautiful, but not in the same way.

If I wanted to cruise down some boulevard I would want an older car for sure, classy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... so I'm going to go out on a limb and say the most beautifully sculpted cars come from a certain Scandinavian manufacturer......










































Volvo. :D

Nah, the 360 Modena and F430 both look impressive standing by themselves BUT if you've ever seen them side by side with other top level exotics like a Lamborghini Gallardo or even a Ferrari Enzo, you notice there's something almost awkward, almost cartoonish about the 360 and F430, like there are too many "bubble" shapes on them.
