Your favorite engine bay.

Which enginebay appeal to you most?

My pick is the 599 GTB's engine bay becasue the whole engine is visible and not covered with CF and and metal panels and yet it doesn't too industrial like the Ford GT och Zonda's engine bay.



Veyron


599 GTB


CGT


Ford GT


R8


F430


Zonda


Enzo


Gallardo

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

Great thread man

Well I like everything about the Zonda and here, once again it's my choice. I loved the C12S engine bay, it looked fantastic! The Zonda F engine bay though, superb! I love how the cylinders are individually chromed

Carrera GT I also really love

The Enzo and Ford GT do not really appeal to me, I feel they look a little too mechanical, which Is what an engine Is, but I believe an engine bay can have character.

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

The Ford GT engine bay is just sad, it reminds me of a law mower.

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

voted cgt. I also like the ferarri and r8 bays but i have to say i dont like the zonda's i just think that it is to much chrome or something and it dosent appeal to me. I also dont like the fords maybe like as you guys say to industrial. and the bugatti and lambo bays just dont have enough displayed of those wonderful engines.

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

Enzo for me.. to me chrome or CF are very nice and better than your normal plastic engine bay..
but the sexiest for me is..when as much as the mechanics show.. i just love the naked bays..
so enzo for me

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

Zonda followed by the Carrera GT. You're right, the 599's engine bay does look great but imo doesn't match the the two mentioned.

Re: Your favorite engine bay.

I voted for the Porsche Carrera GT. The engine bay reminds me of this:
