There are folks who are really into grilles, some who love big wings, and others who are all about wheels—all things that can be customized or modified after buying a car. However, there are others who care more about a vehicle’s natural traits as they come from the factory. In other words, its design, and my favorite design element of a car is the roofline. To me, the roofline sets the tone and hints at how much love and dedication a designer put into their creation.
So, with that in mind, what modern car has the best roofline?
The Ferrari 250 GT0, Jaguar E-Type, and even the original VW Beetle all stand as iconic cars with beautiful and super-recognizable silhouettes. More recently, the McLaren P1 surely leaps to mind as does the stunning Speedtail. Topping the charts for me, however, is definitely the king of hypercars: the Bugatti Chiron.
And just because I’m a sucker for big, stately, British cars, I’ll throw in the gorgeous (and soon-to-be discontinued in the U.S.) Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Gorgeous rooflines aren’t limited to high-dollar cars, of course, as I immediately think of the current Mazda MX-5 RF or the Ford Mustang. The Mazda3 hatchback and the curvy Toyota Supra can also be thrown into that pot. See, you don’t have to spend a fortune to have a sleek roofline.
