What's the best looking Le Mans Prototype since 1999?

Was thinking about this while watching Spa. None of the LMP1-H cars look all that good, but then there was the Rebellion R-One. The #12 pacing around the field, and the #13, breaking down. It looks great. Still not the best looking in my opinion though.

Now you can think about it during your lunch hour! What do you think the best looking LMP1 or LMP2 since 1999 is? 1999 is the minimum year to avoid the obvious Group C answers.

I think it's the Lola B12/60.

What do you think?

Rebellion's Lola is one of my favorites because of those gigantic headlights up front. They put me in the mind of the giant beams from the headlights of years gone by.

I'm looking forward to the new Honda P2 in 2015. That looks sweet.

Peugeot 908. So sleek compared to the Audis, and stupidly fast.

Too bad they pulled out in 2012 so we never saw the Evo car run.

I've always the LMR. Clean and tidy looking.

R8 looked nice as well.

I guess both are before a time with things went nuts with aero.

Or the Cadillac LMP900 car that lasted for only 1 season:

they did redesign the nose after the change to the Mugen v8.

Anything by Audi really, the Bentley, and the BMW LMR.

It looks so good I sometimes wish someone made a kit car of it.

The first R15 model was rather tidy.

If we include 1999 - Jenny Holzer's V12 LMR art car.

The 908 really was a looker wasn't it? I actually like the lines of the 908 more than the 908 HDI FAP

I actually prefer the 908 too. Especially the pictured hybrid makes me all dizzy. I mean just look at it! The shape, the livery, everything. It is the exact opposite of the 919 Hybrid.

I am afraid I have to inform you that your post has been kinja'd. I don't see anything in there, I suppose you posted a picture?

Maybe Peugeot will return in a few years. I'd like them to at least.

If they get their regular job, selling cars, together, then there might be a return. Nothing would make me happier.

It wasn't, actually... I intentionally left it blank

Lots of good choices, but the Toyota GT-One really pushes the right buttons for me. I'd like to think that if I was blind and somebody described a modern sports prototype to me and then played a sound clip, this is the image that I'd come up with. Of the newer cars, I'm torn between the Gulf Aston and the Rebellion Lola B12.
