I really like the blue and bit of green on the Playstation livery. The main livery is nice too. As is the car, who doesn't love a good prototype. Solid Cool.

ALSO: The Outback SUS and Packard Twin-Six both could use some more votes before they close. In case you missed them, go make your voice heard.

This car won Le Mans outright. That alone is worthy of top-level praise. My call for the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP is a (moderately low) Sub-Zero. It is not really a bonkers car to say it's absolutely Sub-Zero, but it is very much a capable and potent LMP race car. It is styled quite well. There was that one sad Le Mans where all four of these Peugeots suffered the same terminal damage that retired all four cars. Surely any prototype car that could defeat Audi at Le Mans in the 21st Century gets plenty of credit. So tab me again for "Sub-Zero," just not an overwhelming one.

For me it has better style than this year's Le Mans winner Toyota. SZ.

I like this because it's the second best Peugeot to exist. 905 is the best in my opinion.

I like the way the headlights drop down, but I like the wheels mainly. Doesn't have much charcter next to the 905.

Worthy of a SZ just because it succeded at defeating the Audis in 2009
