This Le Mans Hypercar class looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing them all together on the track.

Gotta be honest guys, the current generation of Hypercars just keeps on getting uglier and uglier. Just my Old Man's point of view, but none of these cars can hold a candle to a Porsche 917K, Porsche 956/962, Ferrari 330 P4, Ferarri 512, and the list could just go on forever.

I am pretty excited, being a Hi-tech car Nut, that Ferrari is building a competition car for the 2023 LeMans race. attached is the artist rendition based on the actual test cat currently being developed by Ferrari. Drool a bit if you are Tifosi...  |

Lamborghini's SCV12 looks pretty spiffy, too.  Ben |

However Porsche's entry could very well look like an evolution of the GT1 that you are currently building - we will have to wait and see. |

Frankly I am surprised that Glickenhaus chose to go with a pretty conventional brutalist racing car look, rather than the attempting to opt for a more svelt stylized street-like design, which I had supposed is the whole point of the Hypercar class designation. Certainly Aston Martin has been struggling mightily to come up with a look that splits the difference between the narrow cockpit, squared-up fenders ELMS look and something a bit more glamorous and graceful. Lamborghini and Ferrari, too, are still teasing street-like designs as had Glickenhaus once upon a time. But I suppose CFD and the wind tunnel rule the day in these matters. I notice that Toyota's Hypercar is looking more and more brutalist as the days (and testing) go by. I agree with Joel in finding this aesthetic less than thrilling. I fear that at the end of the day we'll see a field full of ByKolles lookalikes... Argh!
