You're thinking about this wrong, not surprising because you're a goofy retard. You cant just use "well if it came out today" as your only metric because everything today looks retarded, but picking your favorite videogame cover art cars from the 2000s definitely isnt indicative of "timelessness" either
The r129, vantage and pic related share the distinction of being the career favorites of their designers, while those designers were penning the best eras of their relative marques. Thats a good quality to have.
Maybe the v8 vantage less so, that was based on the DB9 which was fiskers actual favorite.

Timeless means the design has survived the test of time. If I look at a car and my first thought is "that dude probably paid $5000 on some buy now pay later lot to relive his peaked in highschool days" thats not a timeless design. If the design has gaudy elements that are only reminiscent of that era, its not a timeless design. Maybe it was good looking for that era, maybe its nostalgic but that doesnt make it timeless.

I tend to think of that meaning the car will look good forever, regardless of age and how automotive trends change. Im 4/4 on that itt but the carerra GT is also a baby-mode cop out contribution to this discussion because its so easy to point at as a timeless design

>"timeless designs"
>half the replies are sports cars that are representatives of the decade they were made in and stick out in modern day because of their dated design
big stupid
>>
>>29045946
So your idea of timeless is a modern car?
>>
>>29045946
Lets really think about what you're saying here
Every car is a representative of the time it was made in. No shit. Everything that isnt a modern car sticks out in a modern era because modern cars are giant fish mouth grills, fat beltines, bulbous front ends, led light bars and tiny slit lighting assemblies.
If your idea of a timeless car is "a car where you cant tell when it was made" you are retarded and thinking of the question entirely wrong. The question needs to be framed around the cars beauty relative to its age. The only real question you need to ask is "did it look good then, and will it look good forever," and for most of the cars posted itt so far the answer is yes
>>
>>29045949
"Timeless design" would imply that the car would fit in at any era, regardless of age. Somebody posted the James Bond Aston Martin earlier, which is a car that almost functions as an emblem of the 60's. This would not be a timeless design.
>>
>>29045957
>thinking of the question entirely wrong
then don't use the word "timeless." i'm not the retard here just because i know the definition of the term and you're upset about that.
>>
>>29045969
Because you're hyperautistic and incapable of understanding nuance. Timeless in this context means its beautiful forever. It doesnt mean it exists beyond time or cant be placed as originating from a particular time because thats completely retarded.
>>
>>29045969
You actually don't
>>
>>29045963
>would imply that the car would fit in at any era, regardless of age
No car exists that fits this criteria. Thats why using "timeless" in this context is retarded.
>>
>>29045975
>hyperautistic and incapable of understanding nuance
Changing the definition of a word to fit your needs isn't nuance, it's incorrect. My point still stands, if you are using a word for a purpose other than its definition, then you're using it incorrectly.
>b-b-but in this context
doesn't matter, context doesn't change the definition in this case just because you want it to.
>>29045982
>well, it's okay to use the wrong word because nothing fits it anyway

>>29045998
So you're agreeing with me? I would assume so, because that's essentially what I've been saying the whole time. A 69 Charger for example, is affected by both the process of time passing and changes in fashion because the design has aged out and it doesn't measure up to any standards of today.

A car less than 20 years old cannot be considered timeless because it has yet to withstand the test of time.

>wheelgap schizo is here

>>29046109
How did you determine 20 years as the minimum amount of time that needs to pass before you can assign "timeless" as a quality?

>>29046113
You're being overly literal. Would it be better if I had said ~20-30 years?
>>
>>29046120
Well yeah im autistic but probably. I disagree with your perspective but I think its a more coherent if you're not assigning an arbitrary hard age limit as a qualifier.
Personally I think you need about a decade to assess if a car can pass that test; thats enough time to seperate a car visually from whatever the trends are at the time its made.
