Most Grotesk GT/Sportscar creation ever
What car is the most grotesk, hideous creation ever to fill a GT or Sportscar grid.
This maserati, which usually is a pretty car is damn ugly now. |

That Mazda that Weaver drove at Le Mans in the early eighties was very much a rolling turd.

i like the Maserati. the Trofeo version (the one finalised for the series) is quite nice-
now some of the Daytona prototypes aer turds- need we look further into history? some transam cars were hideous most mustangs of the pre 2002 era were gross fat and sloppy looking- the new one is much better |

Some of the early Group C cars were pretty damn ugly. The Lolas were pretty ugly.
The original Aston Martin Nimrod(?) Group C car from 82/83 was also an ugly contraption. http://racingsportscars.t35.com:8000...-16-photo.html Last edited by JAG; 3 Jul 2003 at 00:12. |

Courage Group C cars. Stubby front and a long tail. Very ugly. The LMP900 version was just as bad.
How about the MIG GT car? |

I dunno i found this thing and it is really goofy
I thought it was an old formula car- when lo and behold it has fenders and full body work what is this ****? and not very pleasant-that "HULK" green only works for, well, the Hulk |

Weird. That's clearly an early-90s vintage Indycar on the left of the photo. Maybe it's an F5000 car converted for Can-Am?

That is the old Interseries at Most. It has thrown up more than its fair share of fuglies in the 90's. The car there is a Lola T89/50 and the one exiting left is a Penske PC18.

Anyone remember Jose Thibault's Chevron-ROC C2 at Le Mans in 1986/7 or thereabouts? A Chevron B36 chassis with bodywork that had previously seen service on the Sthemo or Isolia C2 cars, complete with all 4 wheels fully faired-in
Horrible..... (there must be a pic on the web somewhere...) |

Guys....
Nothing is as Ugly as some of the madcap creations back from the original Can-Am days in the late 1960s and early 1970s... Surf the web for pics of the original UOP Shadow to get a taste or what Ugly or Grotesque really mean when it comes to sportscars.... I'm still searching out a picture of the ugliest racecar ever (any type of major series) that date back to 1963 0r 1964... Smokey Ynunnick build a car for the Indy 500 that literally look ed like a motorcycle side car mounted to a flat frame with a big engine sitting right next to the driver...Butt Ugly... But I cannot find a pic of it anywhere (and it would probably be copyrighted anyway... I have found basic mentions of it when I have searched with paramenters like Yunnick Side Car Indy 500 used in the same advanced search but putting the terms into different requested search fields separately... Look at the Can-Am prototypes though...some were just awful... |

How about the Chevron based thing that ran in Can-am or IMSA in the early 80s? It had a bubble top but no doors as far as I could see.
