That looks positively menacing. :twisted:
Unfortunately this thing makes even the r15 (which was an absolute abortion) look good. It has single handedly brought the entire field's LMP1 looks by at least 50%, and that's with the update that made it look 100% better.
Although it's ugly, it seems to photograph "well" from most angles. I'm growing to like it, it's certainly better than last year with the horrible intakes under the front lamps!

Unfortunately that's exactly what it looks like.

I don't think it's ugly at all... actually from a detail design standpoint, it's beautiful. =D> It's not a a sultry, '60s GT car, granted, but it's a racecar after all. It's got a job to do.
