It’s a fascinating car, but the Bugatti “Tank” is no beauty.

wtf is that? it’s certainly interesting.

In general I agree that no racecar is ugly perse, but there are some rather ugly liveries out there.

Most of the 2014 F1 cars because they have dildos for noses.

Kinja'd!!!

But the Ferrari with a dust-buster for a nose was worse.

I fail to see the problem with that one, except for the fact that it’s pepto-pink.

Those first generation Daytona Prototypes were ugly. The second generations were only slightly better.

They actually built and ran one of those? I thought it never got past the design stage.

EDIT: Interesting... apparently this project has not just continued but the car actually ran some laps during the 2016 Le Mans weekend.

Lawn dart IndyCars.

They used to look amazing until Champ Car folded in 2008:

Kinja'd!!!

Kinja'd!!!

Also the Daytona Prototypes. They look like a GTP car’s inbred stepson.

Kinja'd!!!

The frustrating part is that there’s literally no possible reason for a spec race car to look bad. Performance is secondary since they’re all the same and if they want people to watch, they damn well better make them look good.

Pretty much. But the panel fitment is atrocious too.

True. But it’s Bobby Allison’s winning IROC car.

Not every pink race car can look as good as the 917/20
