The kind of thing that could only appear in the formative years of a doomed category - IMSA WSC in this case.
You rang?



Annnd, another Mantac, this time in WSC guise. UGLY.

Another 80's IMSA horror- Genesis Racing's Chevron GTP at Daytona in 82. Looks like it was originally a B19- quite a pretty car until someone sticks a totally random roof and wing to it...

Staying with the theme of how to convert an unsuspecting Chevron into a GTP- just add a sort of flip-top combined roof/windscreen, and a wing, and you're in business- well, apart from the snowplough....

This apparently started off life as a Lola T240 F2 single-seater, before being converted for CanAm and IMSA...

daytona prototypes are naaaasty. Anything that can be made in Lego without any curved bricks just ain't pretty. Well, at least in sportscar terms

The Audi R10 gets my vote! Grotesque noise (as in it doesn't make a noise!), plus it's roll-hoops, which are more like hideous spikes, genuinely make me feel sick. Them and the DP's. Horrible things.

Would the Lavaggi LMP go here too, or is that just 'unique'...?

it's a Riley, infact

given rules constraint it's, however, a very functional shape, particularly in the roof area

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

From the first factory ones to the K3 Kremer ones, to Akin's with the Lola 600 nose (ok, I might agree on that one), they were all fantastic. Nothing holds a candle to the Joest body style however. It wasn't overly successfull, but it was just fantastic to look at.

No, not the 935, it ain't ugly! And yes, indeed, it is BADASS! They looked sort of Atomic Stinkbug, ok, but they backed that up by going like ATOMIC STINKBUG, and that is what counts

Most of these other cars people are coming up with ran about as well as a Dodge Dart with three missing plugs, but not my 935's, they ruled

robert (something of a Porsche fan....)

Don't get me wrong, Robert:
The 935 is probably my favourite car ever as well (though their time was about to end when I was born), but they are certainly no beauty-queens.
It's a bit like the A10-fighterplane: It wouldn't be half as badass if it was beautiful.
Sometimes uglyness rules!

It's a monster, and monsters don't look nice.

I actually don't mind the roll hoops or spikes on the Audi, Courages and Acuras...I really don't like the roll hoop on the FIA Prototype cars...

I dont think the Daytona DPs are ugly cars. Not the best but by no means ugly.

A Spanish GT "El Speciale" from the last millenium sometime. I hate to admit what it is based on. Bet you can figure it out, tho'.
