Worst Looking Race Car...

The proportions are way off, the windshield is too upright, the wheels are mis-matched, the flares are chunky, the tail is ridiculous...it SHOULD be ugly right?

And oddly, I'm often attracted to women that would fit that description too. I think the car is gorgeous.

Why round headlights?  What about the rest of the design made you think, yeah, oval lights would be PERFECT.  

And if you thought the Pinto was bad, it CAN get worse.  (However, anything that can pull the front wheels of the ground is beautiful IMHO)

Ugly from this angle only

I’ve not yet seen a woman (that I know of) that fits that particular description...

The Deep Sanderson 105 'Twini' was pretty unprepossesing, but it was a curious car - a Mini power unit at each end.  One wonders if you got the front to rear throttle setting wrong whether the rear tried to pass the front.....

The small wheels made it look like a kid's ride at the mall.

This 1955 Nardi built for Le Mans looks ....weird, but strangely attractive in its own way

The Cunningham that started this thread race car reminds me of the Bugatti 'Tank'

Panhards were always weird

I remembered something.

I'd still send it

Looks like a real life version of a car model from a bargain bin PC racing game you found at CompUSA in 2001. Woof. 

In reply to Tony Sestito :

Funny you should mention that. Guess where young me first saw this thing.

I humbly submit this......thing. Stolen from FB.

Looks like the bastard son of a Legends car and a Daytona Prototype.

Is that 2CV based????

In reply to fanfoy :

Yes! Loosely, I would guess. 

it's a whole series, they run a 24hour race in Spa, plus there's some events in England...

some footage from a C1 "class car"
 

the "prototype" cars are apparently BMW motorcycle-based... so the "legends car + prototype car" is, tres apropos
(there's also 'stockish' 2CV's racing at the same time, plus the C1's... since 2CV's are getting thinner on the ground out there)

also, those C1 laps is leading to a whole "sub 1L" car club at the 'Ring

This is what Speedycop would build if he was a meth head.
