A new LMP styled sportscar reminescent of the Westfield xtr or maybe a restyled version of that car ?

I hope it goes bloody fast and corners on rails because, for me, it's about as attractive and inspiring as a monkfish! What's the point? (Just my opinion, of course!)

Just a case of convergent design - there are quite a few significant differences when you compare it to the XTR.

Not fussed either way, but nowhere near as bad as this year's Audi & Aston Le Mans - the Peugeot's the only one that's escaped a damn good beating with the ugly stick.

Well I'd hardly describe it as inspiring or groundbreaking, but I fail to see how you could call it ugly, unless you find all LMP styled cars ugly, it's rather slab sided, but I would exopect there are reasons for that

Clever chaps these Germans but not sure what advantage it has over normal steering.

Without a doubt, and the power-assist means you don't need so many mussels.

Because of course making them look nice was right at the top of the priority list.

1) Look Nice
2) Save a few quid in Fiberglass costs
3) Easy to clean
4) Narrow enough to fit in a single garage

or perhaps

1) Win Races
