These Are Your 15 Ugliest Race Cars In Motorsport History
Motorsport is renowned for its beautiful, complicated machinery and technology – but sometimes the chase for speed results in some rather disturbing-looking race cars. Here are some of your suggestions for the ugliest motorsport machines you’ve seen
1. Caterham CT05

Why, Caterham? Why?

It looks sad to be included on this list. Sorry…
4. Cadillac Le Monstre

Aero all the way.
5. Fiat Multipla

WHAT IS THIS? Looks like someone’s turned a Multipla into the most unlikely drift car ever!
6. March 711
As suggested by Jakob
That front wing would make a great table.
7. Chaparral 2J
As suggested by Robi
8. Dallara Doran Racing JE4

I don’t think the Williams FW26 looks bad at all
am I the only one reminded of this?
I don’t see anything wrong with the F2012
I love the chapparal, what’s wrong with a steel box with turbofans?
Does it actually count as a car? Or is it really the most beautiful hovercraft created?
Am i really the only one thinking the williams F1 2004 is cool? It’s pretty much the first thing that comes to my mind when i think of old school f1 (well from when i started watching it with my dad) wasnt kubica racing in that? He was one the coolest drivers ever in my opinion
I actually really like the panoz.. ahs the only reason prius is in here is because if what it is.
the Prius is only on this list, because it’s cool to hate the Prius ;) I mean it just looks like a normal GT car
Yeah, I think it looks pretty cool but thought it would be good to include a wide range of suggestions
The Panoz is actually pretty nice!
If that Caterham and the Lotus collided head-on, they could make some interesting F1-babies!
