And now for something complete different: 1960 Imperial push-button gear selector.

This is the custom-made, carbon fibre (obviously) paddle shifter from the Zonda Cinque. I know we're mostly talking about shift levers, knobs and linkages here, but this is a functional work of modern beauty.

it boggles my mind how many people bring up this argument. Koeniggsegg have created new models for pretty much every car, just because the body looks similair does not make it the same. For every car there has been updates ranging from new aero, new body, new drive train, new ECU and or software, new suspension or new…

I asked my self the same question....then I thought......Who cares... it still looks amazing and the minor changes from year to year always make it better.

No, no. I'm pretty sure the interior of a Pagani doesn't look like a chromed pirate ship.

Lamborghini Gallardo.

I think the sequential shifter from the Huayra is pretty damn steampunktastic:

Dat Gated Shifter...

More Miura:

Aston Martin DBS

I'm going to nominate anything with a Lenco installed.

Hurst:

1966 Buick Riviera. Also used on other GM products.

The inlaid shifter on the Aristotle Onassis Miura is very pretty

Fast and Furious gear shifter

I'm going to be that guy and post an automatic. Why? Because this one is so different from the norm and its beauty stems from that.

Nothing more beautiful than an open gate manual. So I'll go with the Audi R8, because it is the only one made today, and most likely the last ever.

The stick on a luscious Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

Spyker C8. Mmmmm.

The Pistolgrip Shifter from Chrysler in the 60s and 70s, simple and unique at the time.
