Reasons for vote:
1. It isn't road legal, which with rare exception (Le Mans Concept, GTbyCitroen etc.) isn't cool.
2. That shot makes it look like a dragster.
3. The car is frumpy and saggy and has a ginourmous rear wing.
 
It doesn't count as a particularly special car in my book. It got handed the first JSPC race because it was the only car that entered, it won the next two just about, then the TS010 joined the fray and destroyed it. The NP35 then casually replaced this.

The 91VP is the cool one. That has an MCS8 feel to it with the Italiya LeMans livery. This is just buckets of meh.
 
I had a feeling this would get a few SUBRC votes.

Personally this is one of my favourite Group C cars (up there with the Sauber C9 and Mazda 787B). Cool.
