The ugliest racing car in history?

[Boorish Grobian]

This thing should win some kind of prize for butt-ulgy.  Just when you thought the Daytona Prototypes couldn't get anymore hideous?
The new Dallara Grand-Am device...

Sportier but similar looks to the old light blue AC invalide carriage with an extra wheel!!!!!!!

I'll probably get burnt at dawn for saying this......but why do so many American series race cars look so old fashioned and lacking in innovation. They might produce close racing, but they are just not interesting to look at.

Built to cost control rules that make things that should be a joy to behold something to turnaway from.

In 20 or 50 years if one of these turns up in a barn with the most impressive race history possible, no one will give a toss and will just close the barn door and let it rot away.

Because 95% of Americans like crap racing and crap racing cars.

Only ever saw pic's/vid's of this alfa but always thought it was a bit ugly especially for and alfa

[Kev_mk3]

WTF where they thinking!!

[Shamrock]

Looks like they are trying to put a pig snout on it, maybe it is built for mud racing?

[Christopher]

The Alfa I could live with.

But I would have to do something slightly better with badge arrangement.

[Lorry]

Could it be a Smart, with a massive body kit?

It does look like a randon selection of body panels thrown together, and Ugly

I realize that the Daytona Prototypes have to be built to a very specific set of regulations (cockpit dimensions, height & width, etc.) but this thing looks like a rolling turd.  How did Dallara's design staff take the Grand-Am regulations and come up with that?  Grand-Am is NASCAR's idea of what sportscar racing should be, meaning spec car racing, but this stands out from the rest by its shear ugliness
Personally I like the original Alfa T33, but it did get a bit slab-sided as it was developed, the photo looks like the 1974 incarnation.
