PS I am a car designer, I can make whaffty comments like that!

Hi rcarr

I get what your saying about the bodywork. The Mclaren F1 in my opinion looks more weighty in its FIA-GT guise with the extended sills and wheel arches, still looked great though. The Veyron has a heavy look also. Smooth as opposed to the angular lines on the Lambo however. The bodywork extensions to the Aston, 550, 575, Corvette etc all give these cars a more weighty stance.
The Zonda on the other hand looks like a 21th century Group C car, fantastic.

It has got to be the Pug. From any angle, it looks fabulous. With a more imaginative livery, it would be even better than the best.

On a slightly different angle, why do manufacturers come up with such boring liveries? It is almost as if a committee of advisors sit down to give their input.

I think there's nothing wrong with the livery of the 908.
Maybe boring livery derives from Peugeot being a boring manufacturer?

Renault is not a boring manufacturer and look what a beauty their this year's F1 sled is.

I don't think it's boring at all. Heck, when you look (and yawn at) the Audi's livery over the last 273 years at Le Mans, how can you say the Peugeot looks boring?

In ALMS the Highcroft Acura and tafel Porsches look very very good. Risi Ferrari as well (the RED ones I mean ... ;-) )

In LMS seeing them on the flesh the Peugeots look impressive from the front, not so much from the side, Pescas are not bad (Rollcentre included, Kruse still too white) the Charouz Lola has this thing around it of a real aggressive racing car, very cool as well. The Barazi Zytek is impeccable as is the "Brookladdie" Radical. In GT1 the Modena Aston is my favorite one while in GT2 the new Speedy Spyker is very nice as well as the JWA "Martini-like"997.
