The focus of most cars is always on the front, for many obvious reasons. But the rear is surely just as important to the whole design? You could have the most beautiful front to a car in the world but if it looks like a hammer has been taken to a mushroom at the back then no one will want to buy it. While there aren’t that many legendary automotive rears, we’ve decided to pick our favourites to show that sometimes watching it leave is just as important as seeing it arrive. These are all production cars, mind you – if we went into the world of concepts then this list would be almost endless.
