Like all other LMP1 cars? Of course that's a matter of opinion, I don't find any of them to be all that great to look at. Hence why I don't follow that series much.

I'd just wait to see it in the Official livery. A good make up can make miracles, you know 
Jokes apart, I'm happy that the car it's someway "traditional", considering the FR proportions (see Panoz)
It would have been ridicolous having a Deltawing-alike car with no rear shield and absurd proportions in the LMP1 pack.
Hopin' to see it rock between Audis, Porches and Toyotas this year

If they made a LMP1 out of Nissan's GT vision car 👍

There are specific dimension guidelines which must be adhered to for the LMP1s. Nissan cannot turn up with a GT-R retrofit with it's new hybrid drivetrain and take part in the class.
Performance is the priority and ultimate performance cannot be achieved without bespoke purpose-built bodywork to reduce drag while affording a balance of downforce.
Yes, the Nissan will be the least attractive 2015 LMP but I am delighted to see something different. The WEC is my favourite series so perhaps I'm biased but seeing top-tier motorsport allowing significant creative freedom, with great balance of performance management, is refreshing nowadays.
I only see the WEC getting stronger in the coming years and if the latest rumours of a Maserati programme, as opposed to Ferrari, bare fruit us fans could find ourselves in another golden age of sports-car racing.

My question is...is it even allowed to run a car without a wing in LMP1? I've never given it any thought...

It looks like a mix between a GT-R and an R390

I find it absolutely hilarious all the speculation about having or not having a rear wing. The car has had it from day 1, and was designed to use it...

If you guys hadn't made the ZEOD RC then we wouldn't be questioning it.

Think it stems from someone mentioning it not needing one. Can't remember who though.

Proper proper sound. Love it. Can't wait for 6 hours of Silverstone.
Bet the sound is either the generic "Audi R8 sound" or GT4's Skyline Super GT. Either is pretty accurate tbh.

Guess they can put that new AES sound method to further testing with the GTR LMP Nismo.

That's just a render by a famous rendering artist. He is also the guy who designed the Volvo LMP1, Honda LMP1, Ferrari LMP1, the Nissan LMP1, a Jaguar LMP1 (based on the Group C car) and so on.
