I'm currently watching the 24 hours of Le Mans. Every time an Audi R18 goes past, I am angered.
Take for instance, the new Mclaren MP4-12C. They could have made any shape they wanted with this car.
Instead they did that. It just looks so typical. Why can't we have supercars that look like this??
That represents the best possible shape for a car to be (within rule limitations of course) to go fast. More than that, it looks unbelievably sexy. Like a mutated 1930s streamliner. So why can't Ferrari, Mclaren, or Lamborghini make something like this? Road and race car design diverged in the 1960s I'd say. I wish it hadn't.
Some more prototype sexiness:
Sigh
