Just when you thought contemporary racing cars couldn't get uglier? Here's the 2016 Audi...
Yeesh!

It's been designed to scare the Porsche drivers in to letting the Audi past.

Wait till Toyota and Nissan lift the curtain... ;D

I agree, the new R18 doesn't really please my eyes. But I think it wasn't designed for that purpose. It's bad ass stuff!

Looks like they've hired Darth Vader to drive it  ;D.
Guess it will look slightly different when the season starts, right now the centre piece looks very much like the Ferrari F1 a few years ago with wheel arches.

Toyota is still a question mark, and Nissan ... they'll have to screw it up big time to create something "less appealing" than what they tried to drive this year.

Definitely designed with pure function in mind over form - purposeful indeed.

No doubt it will be bad fast, but wow, the combination of contemporary aero theory, and regs don't make for the prettiest of prototypes.
I thought I'd seen this before ;D

That looks GREAT, then I am a little biased. One thing for sure it will stand out from the others...

Love that film!!
Chain saw anybody?

Toga! Toga!
Cut the crap. Give me a drink.
They took the bar! The whole fecking bar!
They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!
We have an old saying in Delta House: don't get mad, get even.
Well, as of this moment, they're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!
Food fight!
May we dance with your dates?
We're the only white people here.
That boy is a P-I-G pig.
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
