The BEST looking car for this year

dj choc ice · 26 Mar 2007, 14:17 (Ref:1876724)

hello,

well now that paul ricard LMS testing is nearly over in a few hours, and we have seen the huge pace of the charouz lola and pescarolo and imo the somewhat disappointing pace of the peugeot despite it being quickest.

which car to you is the best looking in each class?, this year is a bit of a toughie i think it can be a car from FIA GT,ALMS or LMS your choice, so say what you think is the best looking car of 2007

LMP1: paul ricard pescarolo C60 pescarolo sport
LMP2: highcroft racing courage acura RTX(the black one)
GT1: playteam sara maserati MC12 GT
GT2: chad racing panoz LMGT

We haven't seen the new Creation yet.....

jhansen · 26 Mar 2007, 16:44 (Ref:1876849)

The Zytek in Gulf colors looks pretty cool.

minimangler · 26 Mar 2007, 17:28 (Ref:1876880)

as it is every year,
GT1- Lamborghini Murcielago, any colours.
GT2- Spyker in SPyker orange
LMP1- Peugeot. Pure gorgeous

LMP2- is there an attractive LMP2?

minimangler · 26 Mar 2007, 17:28 (Ref:1876882)

It will improve I think. At the moment, it only seems like a partial livery.

The Badger · 26 Mar 2007, 18:29 (Ref:1876944)

yes , it does . The orange should become a lot more prominent , i think .

Still , the car "is" ugly !!!

Why have i got a sneaking feeling that the Charouz car will be blue and silver ?

The Badger · 26 Mar 2007, 18:35 (Ref:1876948)

LMP1..... Courage LC70
LMP2..... Acura ARX-01A
GT1..... Saleen .
GT2..... Spyker .

Hard to say as we havent seen most of the finished liveries yet .

dj choc ice · 26 Mar 2007, 18:37 (Ref:1876949)

well i still like the barazi zytek, i think there will be a load more orange on it by the time we get to monza 1000km which is good.

i wonder what the livery on the pilbeam of embassy will be at monza

Defiintely needs some more orange- if you're going to paint a car in one of the most iconic colourschemes ever seen in sportscar racing, then it needs to be done right...

kingkai · 26 Mar 2007, 18:59 (Ref:1876972)

GT1:
ALMS: Corvette C6-R #4
LMS: Larbre Competition AMR DBR-9 # 50 (51) (C6-R Luc Alphand)
FiaGT: ... Cannot pick one (hope the koenigsegg will smack us in the face

)
FFSA: ? Larbre 550 always look nice, hope this year too.
LM: ? Hope Larbre will race with the french flag on the side on both (hoping it will reach the 1/24 modelkit world)

GT2:
ALMS: Spyker #86
LMS: The white Panoz at the moment
FiaGT: Not big Porsche fan. But the BMS is best of GT2 (430 look too plain)

SuperGT:
Takata #18 NSX
Forum eng #6 SC430
Motul Autech Z #22

Larbre DBR-9 #50 AT the moment best.
(ps. think question still to early in the season)

JHamilton · 26 Mar 2007, 21:53 (Ref:1877131)

Well, it's early and many of the European cars are not finalized, but the Highcroft Acura was pretty darn sharp.

Edit....the old Autocon Lola is very, very nice too!

Yes, not my style of a good paint job/sponsors for a murcielago, Sorry to disagree. It is not that I don't like it, but it is not my favo

(maby the best one at the moment, pity the red BMS lost the vodafone sponsor)

Jloc's look better

The Badger · 27 Mar 2007, 19:16 (Ref:1877919)

Best looking Zytek was the Black car from a few years ago , Brabham-Shimoda-Wallace if I remember correctly ?

le mans 2004?

Erki · 27 Mar 2007, 21:11 (Ref:1877999)

Best looking cars:

ANY Lamborghini, ANY Saleen, ANY Maserati, ANY 430, 908...

Closed mid-engined cars.

Add 550/575 and the Fellows White Vette to those.

Or rather.... they're really all nice.

Would be even nicer with me behind the wheel.
