1964 Ford GT40 MkI vs. 1966 Ford GT40 MkII vs. 1966 Ford GT40 MkIII vs. 1967 Ford GT40 MkIV vs. 2007 Matech-Ford GT3
I'll get the
GT40 MkII, the prettiest to me. The first GT40 that won Le Mans, back then in 1966, was a MkII model, and it will forever be remembered as the car that shattered Enzo Ferrari's pride in the endurance racing scene. I'm a Ferrari fan, not a Ferrari fanboy though, but I'm also a sucker for historical significance, and I enjoy the story behind the GT40.
1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion vs. Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR Road Car vs. Lotus Elise GT1 Road Car
The
CLK-GTR. My favorite Mercedes-Benz right there. It is, undoubtedly, a majestic beast, the most regal-looking out of all the road-going versions of 90s GT1 racers. Others just seem ruggedly finished compared to it. The CLK-GTR has great hints of its connection to motorsport, but it still retains that pristine feel and Mercedes-style elegance. To me that makes it highly appreciable, more so than the other two. But it's not my favorite out of all the road-going versions of 90s GT1 racers.
It still can't match the dramatic might displayed by the contours of the road-going McLaren F1 GTR "LongTail". If that was part of the selection, I'd have chosen that instead. Or a road-going F40 GTE with its fear-inducing rear end, if included. Or the smashing F50 GT, if it's part of the comparison as well, which was one of the great what ifs in GT racing despite not having truly raced.
Actually, the 911 GT1 Straßenversion in
Ranman20's post gave me an idea. Which 911 GT1 Straßenversion will you choose?
1996 Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion
1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion
1998 Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion
