Nordic, regarding the 908/80? As I understand it, Porsche wanted to be seen putting all their weight behind the 924 turbo affort that year, so they deliberately kept their involvment with the Joest car low key. I suppose you could call it a dressed down 936. There was a article about it in MotorSport in recent years. The way it was described it was essentially a full works car, with full support, loaned to Joest.
Agree, the M379 wasn't exactly ugly, as the latter cars were, they were downright butt-ugly, but the M379 was probably more "functional" appearing.
