1) McLaren F1
2) Ferrari F40
3) Pagani Zonda
4) Lancia Delta Integrale
5) Bugatti Veyron
6) Honda NSX/R
7) Porsche 911 997 GT3
8) Porsche 911 2.7 RS
9) Honda Integra Type-R
10) Nissan Skyline R32/R33/R34 GT-R
An interesting list in many ways - showing some interesting biases imho.
Firstly, my guess is the teenage/20-year olds are swayed by Porsches marketing department as they managed to push the 997 GT3 above the most iconic Porsche (surely a key criteria of a list called Greatest Iconic cars) of all time, the 1973 2.7 RS.
Secondly, perhaps I'm being unfair, but it seems the Honda and Nissan forums have been out in force voting for their pet cars. I can almost see the thread now, "Guys Vote for the Skyline, we need to put it in the EVO top 10!". Yes the Integra Type-R and the Skyline GT-R (in R34 guise but surely not R32 and R33) are good cars, if not great, but iconic? Surely not?
Where are the other cars that shaped motoring? Surely the E9 CSL or the E30 M3 deserves a place above the Integra Type-R and Skyline?
What about the iconic Mercedes or the Porsche 356A, which started the Porsche revolution? And if you want to talk iconic Porsche from the start, the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder are pretty damn iconic.
And if we're going to include the Lancia Delta, shouldn't the Audi Quattro be on that list? Isn't that the most iconic of all 4WD rally-road cars?
Early Ferrari? 250?
Views? What is missing from the top 10, or is the list fair and definitive?
(ps - I realise you cannot be definative with 10-spots and I realise - to a degree - that EVO are at the mercy of bulk and influenced voting by 'readers' but I guess the real question is what 10 cars would you say are iconic or would you be happy with the EVO list?)
