No amount of hippie car livery will make these beautiful in my eyes. On the other end of the spectrum, I'm yet to see a livery that'll make a 458/488 look ugly (try me, please). |
Ha! The 917 is one of the most beautiful cars of all time and the long tails are the most beautiful versions of it. Take the livery on this a slap it on something else, I don't think it works.
Outside if the Argentine TCs, I am struggling to find something I hate. I have found many ugly shaped cars, however.
I always thought this never made sense. The Olive Garden Ferrari. Fake Italian restaurant, all Italian Ferrari painted green while the British Ferrari in the same races was red.
Not ugly. Just making no sense.

The original 1971 Le Mans entry was nicknamed 'The Hippie Car', and painted at the circuit with spray cans! Originally intended to be white with red stripes (opposite to the other / winning 917), apparently Piech was not particularly impressed, but sponsors Martini were...  |
The Hippie car is certainly iconic and a great story. I'm sure people at the time found it too much and over the top,but its damn hard to make a 17 ugly.
