Spyker C12 Zagato

Spyker cars aren't exactly known for their subtlety.  In fact there are probably a lot of people that would say all Spyker cars belong on this blog.  However, I believe that for Spyker cars the beauty is in the details.  It may be overwhelming at first, but the more you look at them the more everything tends to meld together cohesively.  The same could be said for the Pagini Zonda.

However, the Zagato bodied Spyker C12 crosses the line in my opinion from fabulous to fugly.  The front end isn't too bad - it's a sleeker interpretation of the Spyker themes.  As you move back you meet some broad hips, but they're sleeker than similar treatments on recent Zagato bodied Maseratis and Ferraris - they looks less bloated and more muscular.

However the seemingly aquatic inspired rear end treatment is excessively overwrought and vomit inducing.  It's gigantic taillights and venting/tail pipes that look like chrome gills are more fitting to a Mitsuoka Orochi than Spyker's predominantly aviation inspired cues.
