Not beautiful, but striking in an odd way. Hot Wheels used to make this one and I thought it was kinda goofy looking. That's not bad though, just meh to me in the end. Anyway, vote this one up, the Jag seems to be doing well but it might have a boost from being Group C. I don't want to see this poll close with like 20 voters.

EASY Sub-Zero. The Panoz Esperante GTR-1 car is sublime in every sense of the word. No other GT racing car was like it. It is a slick race car with flamboyant design, abundant power, and still looks beautiful more than 25 years later. Even its hybrid counterpart, the Q9, was also a good looker and a great performer. At times, I even wish I had enough money in "Sports Car GT" to get this car (or even the Porsche 911 GT1 or Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR).

Again- Sub-Zero.

It's surely a very good looking car, but not enough to give it a SZ.
Very high cool.

It's certainly not the most beautiful GT1 car ever but it goes alright. For me it's meh.

The real Batmobile. Just didn’t like the rear, but it’s cool.

FIA GT and IMSA GT are racing series. Just like the Mercedes CLK-LM, the class the Esperante GTR-1 raced in was called LMGT1, which was sanctioned by ACO (24h of Le Mans), FIA (FIA GT Championship) and IMSA (IMSA GT Championship/Professional SportsCar Championship).
