What are the sexiest components ever made?

As Enzo Ferrari had said that the XKE was the most beautiful/sexiest car ever made (his opinion, not mine).  How about high end audio products?  There have to be some that sex was thought about by the designers?  

Not the most exotic, but like a classic Mercedes or Packard,..there is a reason the Linn 12 has been around as long as it has.  Yamaha had that slanted cassette deck, and I hope you can add to this list and, if possible, add a photo. 

 I think a young Barbi Benton holding even an 8-track player would be very attractive.

I don't think the term "sexiest" is very good in this case but the combination of best looking and most spectacular looking components are for me mostly turntables. There are a lot of them.

Except TTs I also like the Sonus Faber speakers, some Avantgarde horn speakers and the Bayz Audio speakers. And of course the Métronome Kalista cd players.

I think most of us has seen pictures of Avantgarde and Sonus Faber products already.
