[Matt Harper]

Not quite as fugly as the rest of the field - might make the Rolex 24 a little more interesting...

not that we get a decent picture of it in that video. The regs dictate the ugly screen/cockpit so cannot see the finished article looking much better than the rest.

Reminds me of the Nissan R390.

some nice pics on DSC and it works pretty well. The side screens are still rather high and upright, but overall it is not a bad looking car, whereas the DPs have been so bad looking I have never watched it. I think that is the finished article, don't forget the 3rd gen DP rules are new this year, so they will look different to before

I know where you are coming from, but the Grand Am rules dictate that it will not be in the same aesthetic league sadly. Lots of fast cuts and subdued lighting in the video should counsel limited expectations. Still could easily be the best looking prototype on the grid though.

Certainly looks the business.

Aren't the regs changing for 2012, specifically relating to aesthetics? Basically acknowledging that the current breed of cars is ugly as sin.

Amusingly - the only right hand drive Corvette available...
