Will this turn out to be one of the most Beautiful GT Racers of all time?

[Keith]

Or is it just in the eye of the beholder?

 

[Jack]

Yep! I prefer Jim's P4/5 race car though

 

[PETER LEUTHARDT]

But this is my alltime favorit!

 

[Jack]

Fran's RCR SL-C has some styling cues taken from both the C9 and the Kudzu.
I like 'em all! C9 is one of my fav's.

 

[Keith]

I like them all, but conceivably I could still BUY an MC12 but not a P4/5 regretfully, as I don't think Ferrari put it into production yet eh? :laugh:

. It's just the imperiousness of the MC12 - the width, it's just, well I mean it's just, well beautiful.

And they did a damned sight better job with it than Ferrari.... :laugh:

 

[Keith]

But this is my alltime favorit!

Is that the half car half airplane as flown by Mark Webber?

 

[Jack]

Nope! It was a Mercedes CLR-GT1

 

[Jim Craik]

I saw this one in the Le Mans Museum, I have yet to see a better one!

 

[Keith]

A Focke Wulfe CLR-GT1 to be exact.

Marcus know.... :shifty:

Somebody near me owns an MC12 and the few times I've seen it on the road it just looks ridiculously too big. A Porsche 917 appears to be big until you see it beside a not very big car.

I find the MC12's overhangs to be just too large.....particularly the nose. And the tail ends too abruptly. A 917 Langheck tail ends in graceful curves. It's like a Ferrari F40 and a '71 Plymouth Superbird had a love-child.

The Maserati headlight housing shape gives the car a sort of rather sad face.......It says, "I AM a Ferrari really...........no really".

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so here's one taken at the Toronto International Auto Show.

 

[Keith]

Nice pictures thanks. I really like the width of it to be honest - it's anti-social which suits me fine.

Impractical = a true supercar..

There is a collector that lives near me and he has a blue and white one that he drives on the road....that's when he is not driving his Enzo or Veyron

Life throws such hardships at some people Fran.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

I think he only has one of each so he doesn't have such a charmed life.....

I guess that's ok. Flawed like all human-kind, he only has one right foot after all.
