Definitely not timeless. It's too flamboyant, too flicked and curved and all these things that are due to science and not necessarily expression.
Timeless designs in my opinion are examples that follow fundamental queues of their platform and function more than design trends of the time (which is why they're NOT timeless if they follow trends). E46 M3 and Skyline GTR-34 instantly pop into my head. FD chassis RX-7. Maybe late year C6 Vettes. Maybe late Fox Body. Call me crazy but maybe early 2000's Toyota Camry...
Then there's cars that shouldn't be timeless because they represent the hay day of their time. Ferrari F40 for instance. Or the Porsche 959. I put the S550 GT350 in this spot. The time when America showed the world how it's fricken done. And forget the Boss 302. It was a good effort but still not enough.
