Prettiest Cars in Le Mans

Watching the Blu-Ray release, one cannot help but wallow in the car-porn of these beautiful machines:

1. 917L works car (25): A dragon on wheels. Who cares if it wanted to finish the Mulsanne on its nose due to poor aerodynamics, it was a gorgeous car. If the Martini 917L had been visible more than briefly, it would be my top choice.

2. Ferrari 312's: Ah, that classic Ferrari styling. Gina Lollobrigida transformed into car-flesh at 200MPH.

3. Ferrari 330(?) paddock car: What, it's not racing? Who cares! It's beautiful. But that Mercedes silver livery, sacrilege!

4. Ferrari 512's: They go here. Pretty, yes, but a little too brawny and bulgy for a Ferrari.

5. Porsche 917K's: The Kurzen look like insanely overpowered go-karts, and apparently they drove like that. Holy crud, the power-on oversteer coming out of the turns!

Oh, and ugliest car? That frickin' yellow Corvette. Ugh.

1969 908 Long tail. Oh and not a Le Man car but cannot resist the looks of Porsche Bergspyder, predecessor of 908/03.
