British car magazine Autocar has polled motoring experts to put together a list of the most beautiful and sexiest cars in the world. See if you agree with the list.

British car magazine has polled motoring experts to put together a list of the most beautiful and sexiest cars in the world.

The 1961 E-Type Jaguar took the top honour on the list of 100 cars. The British car was famous for its endless bonnet and curvaceous body.

Its shell was designed by an aerodynamics engineer. It was propelled by a high-spec version of the famous XK engine, and was based on the 50's Le Mans winning D-Type race car.

The 1970 Lamborghini Miura was in second place.

Ferrari had two cars in the top 10. The 1959 Ferrari 250 GT SWB was third, followed by the 1984 288 GTO.

The current Bond car, Aston Martin's stunning Vanquish, is in 10th place. Launched in 2001, the Vanquish is powered by a 5,9-litre V12 and tops 300 km/h. There are quicker cars, of course, but few prettier. According to Autocar, only nine cars ever lay claim to that honour.

Another Aston Martin, this time the immortal DB4 GT Zagato, is in ninth position. The car was made in extremely limited numbers and was powered by a 3,4-litre in-line six.

The newest car on the list is the Lamborghini Murcielago in eighth position. The first Lambo to be developed under the guidance of new owners Audi, the Murcielago has lost none of the colossal performance and dramatic presence that has made the marque famous, but this car is easier to drive, more comfortable and better put together.

The car that launched a million fakes, the AC Cobra, is in seventh position. Based on the pretty AC Ace, the Cobra's voluptuous styling and thumping engine made it a lasting success...which is why you can still buy one today.
