I might also mention that I am a BIG Vette fan and seems to be the only one that think those Ford GT cars looks butt ugly. I cheer for Vettes in any weather.

Agreed. It's in the same league as some recent F1 cars and the DW12.

Not helped by the fact that VAG have one graphic designer who only designs cars from above. So the livery is a mess of lines and shapes from the side and only looks ok from promo shots from above.

Usually ugly race cars tend to be ugly when viewed head-on but the Audi even manages to be ugly in side-view.

I can't remember any other car that managed that, even the DW looked somewhat pleasing when looked at from the side.

The only time the DW looked half decent was when Henri cut one up and called it a Pescarolo.

I struggle to tell the LMP1 cars apart if I'm honest - the paint schemes are too similar and the cars all look the same.

Really? The Audi and Porsche look nothing alike, in livery or shape.

Yep, it's very homely. That being said, I don't think any of this generation P1 cars are attractive and Audi has never built a good looking car in my eyes. Cool, yes. Handsome, no.
