Decent Cool here. While it's not Porsche's prettiest racecar, it's still handsome, but my vote here is more about what it did than how it looks. This car punched way above its league to win Le Mans, which is awesome. I wish the livery on the world-beating number 41 was a little more memorable (Like some of the other liveries I show in the pictures spoiler), but it's not too big a deal.

Ah, the "White Whale" Porsche. I'm using the other name since I don't think there's a certain word I'm not allowed to use here. Anyhow, for what it accomplished and how it looks, I am calling a strong Cool for this race car.

Even though I like 911s a lot, I give this one a meh.


It is based on a 911, no?

It is based on a 911, no?

As loosely as Group 5 class cars are.

Don't let this thread die quite yet, the poll's still open a few more days.

Also I just found out that the drivers of this car in le mans '79 were major drug smugglers. They even used Road Atlanta and these very cars to do it.

 

[BigShamrock]

Meh, i wish it had more gears.

 

[EngieDiesel]

Not really a Porsche guy, but I do love cars with unusual histories to them and oh boy, does this one ever have that. Definite high Cool, both for its on track performance and bizarre backstory.

 

[MoLiEG]

The lack of headlights gives it an odd look I just cant like completely.

Still, I think it's Cool.

Just about as cool as you can get for a race car.
