Japanese cars as we all know needs no introduction. They have got awesome looks. Here are the 10 most beautiful Japanese cars ever made…

Overview
Most gearheads won’t include Japan on their list of nations that produce the most attractive cars. Japanese carmakers like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda are incredibly well-liked by car dealers and enthusiasts but for their functionality and affordability than their aesthetics. Nevertheless, given that some of these Japanese automakers have been in operation for more than a century, they have been able to perfect not only their engineering and quality, but also their designs. Even though they are uncommon, there have been a few jaw-droppingly gorgeous JDM cars that rival even the most exquisite Italian automobiles in beauty. These are the 10 most beautiful Japanese cars ever made.
10. Toyota Supra (Mk IV)
The legendary Toyota Supra Mk4 was one such car which was known by everyone. The Supra Mk4 was one of the coolest-looking Japanese cars of its time thanks to its smooth aerodynamically efficient bodywork, which contrasted with the boxy third-gen model, and its enormous rear spoiler. The Supra was one of the stars of the first Fast and Furious movies due to its stunning appearance. The Supra Mk4 had two available engines, the most potent being a 3.0L 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo V6 that spewed out 321hp and 315lb-ft of torque. This car is so gorgeous that it is still in demand.
9. Honda NSX
Honda believed it had the engineering and technological advancements necessary to create a sports car that could compete with anything made in Europe after its success in Formula One racing in the 1980s. After several years of development, Honda unveiled the legendary NSX, that rivals Ferrari and a chassis tuned by the legendary Ayrton Senna. The NSX was a delight to drive thanks to the first VTEC-equipped engine in a production vehicle. This car is totally nuts as it has, under the hood, a 3.5L twin turbo V6 with two electric motors powering the rear wheels.
8. Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo Z-Tune
Nissan produced a number of limited-edition Skylines, but the Nismo Z-Tune is by far the most coveted and difficult to find. When Nismo needed to create a unique vehicle to commemorate its 20th anniversary, they came up with the Z-Tune concept. Nismo looked all over Japan for 20 lightly used R34s, but since the R34 GT-R was no longer being produced, they were transformed into Z-Tunes. A carbon fibre body, a Sachs suspension that was tuned, a unique Brembo brake system, and aggressive aero were all upgraded. The upgrades made the Z-Tune look and perform better than any previous Skyline GT-R.
7. Aspark Owl
When Aspark unveiled the all-electric Owl concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2017, it astounded the automotive industry. The Owl gained popularity quickly, in large part because of its stunning aerodynamic design, which included a low-slung carbon-fiber body, dihedral doors, and a sizable rear wing. The Owl is not only stunning, but also quick. When the Owl is released in the coming months, it will reportedly have a 1,984hp quad-motor system and have the fastest acceleration time ever, reaching 60 mph in just 1.69 seconds.
6. Honda S2000
Honda engineers went back to the drawing board and produced yet another classic in the form of the S2000 after demonstrating their ability to produce a supercar of the highest calibre with the NSX. With its mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive design and reputation as one of the best-looking roadsters, the S2000 was an immediate success. A high-revving 2.2L DOHC VTEC four-cylinder with the highest specific power output in a naturally aspirated engine, the S2000’s engine was one of the greatest naturally aspirated engines ever created.
5. Datsun 240Z
Datsun, which was formerly owned by Nissan, is no longer in operation, but it will always be cherished for giving us the incredible sports car known as the 240Z. The 240Z is a world-class grand tourer that was praised for its stunning supercar looks. It was created in response to the Toyota 2000GT. The 240Z competed with vehicles like the MG MGB, Austin Healey Sprite, and Triumph Spitfire. It was a small, sporty, and attractive looking car but unlike British vehicles, it always started and didn’t leave oil stains on the driveway.
4. Mazda Cosmo
Over the years, Mazda has produced many impressive vehicles. And Cosmo was one of the few significant vehicles. The Cosmo was unique in a lot of ways. For starters, it had a fantastic aerodynamic design with lovely, futuristic proportions that everyone adored. The Cosmo was also the world’s first two-rotor rotary engine-powered production automobile. With fewer than 1,000 total production, the Cosmo is also extremely uncommon.
3. Mazda RX-7 FD
The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car with a rotary engine that has a sizable cult following all over the world. The RX-7 comes in three generations, but the third generation is the most visually appealing, which explains why prices have skyrocketed. We believe the stock model of the third-generation RX-7 has a great design as well, especially those pop-up headlights. However, most of the third-generation RX-7s you see are packed with modifications to make them look cooler. It has a 1,308cc twin-turbo twin-rotor engine with 252hp, which makes driving it a blast.
2. Lexus LFA
The high-end segment of Toyota The most well-known aspect of Lexus is its production of some of the world’s most opulent automobiles. But when Lexus created the LFA in 2011, they made the decision to take a shot at the supercar market. The LFA’s design, particularly that rear end with the triple exhausts, was the first aspect that drew praise from the public. The 4.8L V10 engine in the LFA, which produced 563hp, also had the power to match. Only 500 of this amazing car were produced, making it extremely rare.
1. Toyota 2000GT
Some of the most stunning automobiles were ever made in the 1960s. Among them were the Jaguar E-Type, Lamborghini Miura, and Ferrari 250 GTO. In order to compete with the well-known European brands, Toyota designers rolled up their sleeves and created the stunning 2000GT in 1967. The 2000GT, widely regarded as Japan’s first supercar, had a sophisticated design that gave it the appearance of the Japanese 250 GTO. Sadly, Toyota gave it a meagre 2.3L inline-six engine with 138hp, which was simply insufficient to compete with the era’s European supercars. Since there are only 351 available, buyers are willing to pay seven figures for one.
