Best looking sports car - Page 4

But there are so many bland colour schemes aren't there? Its good to see something different from time to time. Remember that terrible "tiled" Venturi?

mick · 16 Mar 2003, 04:33 (Ref:537791)

Lancia LC2 hands down. If you have seen this car in person you will know what I mean

**Aysedasi** · 16 Mar 2003, 10:02 (Ref:537912)

Welcome mick. Good choice. Makes a nice change from Porsches anyway!

Fab · 16 Mar 2003, 10:58 (Ref:537941)

We don't mention enough the 1991 Mazda in that thread (

)...

And the 1988 Jags, the most beautiful sporstcar at my taste...

krt917 · 16 Mar 2003, 23:04 (Ref:538438)

The Mazda was definitely striking - they used it in '92 as well, when they ran their version of the XJR14 (MX01?). Always liked the Jags, though I think I preferred the later (1990) livery without the Yellow stripe. Picky I know, but it looked a bit more sophisticated!

i think i'll add the 2003 Bentley, although i was unsure at first i now love it, it looks like a beast and in British racing green as well, what could be better (except a GT40 in gulf colours)

Cobra · 18 Mar 2003, 15:38 (Ref:540236)

A bit surprising that Bentley got so few mentions really so I have to say
Bentley
The green Bentley
The green Bentley with the Union Jack...

**FIRE** · 18 Mar 2003, 19:53 (Ref:540424)

These are my cars (probable i forgot some cars):

McLaren-BMW F1 GTR (just one word: Wow)
Ford GT40 (beautiful with the Gulf livery)
Porsche 911 GT1-98 (very elegant)
Peugeot 905 (my first Le Mans car i can remember)
Ascari (maybe not the fastest lmp but it's good looking. Verdomme Klaas waarom ben je met dit project gestopt?)
Spyker (it's different)
Zonda (the new Mclaren F1)

Not every body has a British heart.

Hmmmmmmm.

An awful lot to live up to.

I wish them luck - but you are talking about one of my all-time favourite sportscars here.....

**Aysedasi** · 19 Mar 2003, 08:01 (Ref:540915)

Well, we'll let you off the Spyker

And as for British cars - well, we've built some good ones over the years.

Not sure we've welcome you before, Racer, and if we did, I didn't myself : happy to have a Dutch sportscar fan !

And with RFH, Zonda and Spyker, we've got three very interresting teams, including one concerned by the pole and the overall (that we frenchies have not

)... great !

LC2guy · 19 Mar 2003, 13:12 (Ref:541133)

I'm new at this so you may just see a big blank .........
My Favourites are Martini Lancia LC2 , Rothmans Porsche 956 , Gulf McLaren F1 GTR and ( whisper it ) Cor Euser's Multi cloured Marcos LM600 . An outsider would be the Bovis Aston Martin Nimrod. Having said that, anything British Racing Green .................

A lot of rookies nowadays : I assume that Sportscars are gaining lots of race fans !

Thank you for joining us, welcome at the forum, and welcome at Le Mans !

We go for victory in LM900, GTS and GT.

Yeah, The Rainbow Warrior I put this car also on my list.

It's a great pity we dont't see it at Le Mans.

how could i guess they would be in there

krt917 · 21 Mar 2003, 10:00 (Ref:542917)

Yeah, I think we're going from the best looking to most...eye-catching. Or, put another way, from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Which are rediculous, do you dare imply that the LM600 or Speed 12 are rediculous, just because they are rediculously large, rediculously powerful and rediculously expensive does that make them rediculous...oh wait...

krt917 · 21 Mar 2003, 15:06 (Ref:543241)

Ridiculous in terms of BEST LOOKING. They're both fantastic machines and I always hoped that Cor would stick the Marcos amongst the Vipers and Porsches, but beautiful it isn't/wasn't.

The later Speed 12 was better compared to the trully ugly original, but not on a par with some of those already mentioned, such as the McLaren F1, XJR Jaguars or Ferrari P4.

No offence intended!

krt917 · 21 Mar 2003, 15:08 (Ref:543246)

Have just read your message again Smokey and have turned my 'sarcasm-detector' on. Please ignore last message (and send it to spaced invader!).

BSchneiderFan · 24 Mar 2003, 12:13 (Ref:546258)

Maybe slightly off the point, but whatever happened to Cor Euser and the rainbow Marcos? I always kind of liked it (and hearing a Marcos was out of this world), but I thought they'd be more successful; after all, take a mighty Chevy V8, and, basically, wrap it in cling-film - hey presto! the Marcos LM600. As I recall, it was mighty in qualifying in the 1998 FIA GT series, but ran on Dunlops which tended to fall apart during endurance races.

LC2guy · 24 Mar 2003, 13:11 (Ref:546321)

The Car appeared in the EuroGT race supporting DTM at Donnington last year , so its still going. It Won the second of two races that weekend and still seemed to have some speed, although the field was pretty thin ( couple of Vipers, 4 or 5 Porsche GT2 )
