Nissan LMP1

Nissan's new Lemans challenger. Front engined, front wheel drive? 550hp V6, 700 hp from the hybrid system. The designer did the Delta Wing. Story and more pics here http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a24902/developing-the-nissan-gt-r-lm-nismo/

That sure is one ugly car. Is that a barn door in the front? Their wind tunnel must tell them something in a different language that I can't fathom.

This might be the first ever that looks better after you've crashed it.

Looking at the design, it appears the driver would have difficulty seeing over the tops of the fenders. That is a car only it's designer could love.

Got to admit it's different and innovative! We don't see enough of that in racing these days. If it's successful at least some folks will find it beautiful.

I think its pretty kool looking. kind of reminds me of a Cadillac Eldorado somehow there in the front. and know what? I think visibility is just fine or it wouldn't be on the track, not from Nissan.

the look of 10 years from now, now.

Is it me, or does it look like somebody royally screwed upba catamaran build?

[58 Impala]

Very ugly, just like the delta wing car. Some of their road cars aren't much better looking.

Looks better than the new Ford GT. I think the visibility would be pretty good straight ahead, due to the flat hood. The fenders may pose a problem.

[ChrisR]

Looks to me like the Batmobile from a few years back. Just uglier!

[Daddyfink]

That thing is awesome. Looks like the sledgehammer they intended to build. Can't wait to see what it does on the track.

At least Nissan is willing to try something new
