I don't know if they are too "low tech" for European fans. They'll just have a heck of a time finding a niche market. Maybe in that they are powered by stonking V8s?
You mentioned the Acura and RS Spyder as a beautiful car, and that triggered a thought in my mind. I reckon the ARX-01 and RS Spyder are contestants for most beautiful race cars ever! Those two, along with the Audi R8 make for three LMP cars amongst the most beautiful cars ever IMO. But heck, the Lolas from B05/40 on, the Bentley EXP Speed 8, Dallara, the Zyteks, Ascari A410... the list goes on for beautiful LMPs.
