When thinking of the most beautiful cars ever made, vehicles from Japan often gets left out of the conversation. However, some great designs have come out of the country over the years, many of which are worth taking a look at. With that in mind: which is the most beautiful one?
High on anyone’s list would have to be the Toyota 2000GT. With its exotic proportions and smooth curves, the coupe’s design rivals some of Britain and Italy’s finest such as the Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 365. From a similar vintage, there’s also the original Mazda Cosmo, whose unique styling was just as memorable as its rotary power. A little more well-known is the Datsun 240Z with looks that punched well above its price tag.

Moving into a more modern age, we’d have to elect the FD Mazda RX-7 as one of the prettier Japanese cars in recent years, its clean surfacing still looking fresh to this day. At a slightly more attainable point of entry, there’s the no-nonsense Honda S2000. If we’re including concept cars, we’d throw Mazda’s gorgeous RX-Vision concept into the ring as well.

However, if we’re only counting production vehicles, it’s hard not to mention the Lexus LC. The brand’s sharp, angular styling works wonders on a low-slung coupe, with some believing it’s the best interpretation of their modern design language. Granted, we might be cheating with this one given how close its styling is to the original concept, but that’s exactly why its double-take-inducing design is one of the most unique on sale today.
