9.5/10 Will never tire of the brilliant F2 Kit cars, sounded insane, and were bonkers fast, especially on the tarmac stages.

Even the baby 1600cc and 1300cc class cars were just as mad.

Well it's funny you should say that:

Bizzarrini Iso A3C Corsa

 

[TVR27]

10/10 Did Bizzarrini got to the bank and max out the credit and made beautiful supercars and go bankrupt after 5 years?

9.5/10

They certainly did make some stunning cars, and in fact, of all the Bizzarrini's I know, I don't think a single one can be called ugly. And since the founder was a former Ferrari, Alfa and ISO engineer (whom the company had a deal with initially, hence the Iso Grifo based models), he certainly knew his way around cars.

As for what happened to them, well it'd seem they never went bankrupt, but instead they just went under the radar, and in the last 25+ years or so, founder Giotto Bizzarrini himself has still been very active, just making one off concepts and other projects.

6/10 looks better at the back.

 

[Michelin Man]

7/10 Always quite liked the Edonis, and being based of an EB110 Bugatti is no bad thing either, mind I do prefer the more left-field super cars

5/10 Looks better with TVR lights.

 

[Michelin Man]

7/10 Yea I'll give you that, it does look a fair bit better.

3/10 I think its ugly.

 

[Michelin Man]

5/10 Not my favourite, or prettiest of the two B-Series Marussias

That goes to this:

Marussia B1

 

[TVR27]

7/10 It doesn't know what it wants to be a Pagani or a Lamborghini?

 

[Michelin Man]

3.5/10 Or they don't know whether they want to be the Marussia, as the Marussia B1 is much better looking in every way .

5/10 I don't understand and I would much rather this

 

[Michelin Man]

5.5/10

Basically I'm saying the Marussia B1 is much better looking than any of the current Lamborghini's or Paganis; with the Huayra particularly in this case. Just looks more svelte and elegant to me.

However, the following car is a bit more divisive on the looks front.

Donkervoort D8 GT

 

[TVR27]

3/10 No thanks I want my 7

 

[Michelin Man]

8/10 And to be honest I'd agree with you, as whilst I like the engineering side of the Donkervoort, I think it just looks too weird to take properly serious for me, hence why I'd take the "original" proper Seven.

7/10 what Le Mans was this ?

Lexus LS 2017

 

[ToyGTone]

4/10 Generic Modern Lexus.

 

[Michelin Man]

7/10 Part of the era when Ferrari's used be good looking, but I prefer the more curved appearance of the 348's replacement; the F355

what Le Mans was this ?

Well, the Helem V6 LM I posted above was the #36 that Pre-Qualified in 41st in the 1997 24H of LM. Info is lacking with regards to the whole Helem project, as they never seemed to get past pre-qualifying ever since '96 which seems to be the 1st time they competed. It was originally the Renault-Helem Spyder, before it fully evolved into just the Helem V6 LM on it's own, losing the Renault badging.

From what found, whilst it never qualified for LM 24H, it did score a class win at the 4H of LM when it was orignally the Renault Spyder V6 apparently.
