Definitely agree. The really off-putting feature for me are the front fenders. So bulbous. Kramer's famous quote "Look away, I'm hideous" comes to mind.

There is a car art show going on in OMA called Design in Motion at Kaneco Museum. Lots of fabulous cars including a Talbot-Lago. Also included is an Audi LeMans car. I was shocked to see it was from 2002! It looked sleek and sexy and sure seemed like it would be competitive today despite being 13 yrs old.

Interesting that the Club Sport is only a mere 5hp increase. Porsche continues to refuse to break the 400hp barrier with a Cayman. What's next, a GT-4 Club Sport RS with 390hp?

Today I read that the new 911 cup car may not be a rear engine model..?

Perhaps someone at Porsche decided to cross the line to be able to remain competitive..?

The 919 is no looker. Seeing it at Rennsport next to the 917 I know which one I like better.

919 is certainly a winner on the track!
