In third place... The Glick has this sort of old school charm. It's like it's evolved out of the 70s with those curves. Even the airbox is nicely rounded. In all, reminds me of the Porsche 917.
In second place... The Caddy looks like what is says on the box: an American sportscar. Mean.
And in first place... The Vanwall just looks serious and like it means business. In reality, it hasn't got a clue what day it is. But I still like it .

The Glickenhaus 007 for me is the only one that looks like an actual car. Perhaps it's my bias of loving the 70 LeMans cars?
But none of the cars seem to look like their manufacturers identity in any way. They just have random styling cues that are dictated by Aero only and all the personality seems to be tuned out.
However, close 2nd is the Peugeot as it really does look like some sort of cyberpunk futuristic thing. I really like it for being so different, but the problem is that I would not say it was "pretty".

My favourite is the Peugeot. Like some reporters on Eurosport and RSL also noted, it is the face of the LMH class. One set of rules about drag, downforce, power/weight ratio (until 3 days before LM24h) and liberal hybrid regulations (R or F or non-hybrid). Design? Go for it.

I was just about to say the EXACT same things to justify my Glick vote.

The 963 looked the best in the flesh at Le Mans for me. The Peugeot looked much better for real than it looks on TV / in pictures too.

The Peugeot in particular looked much better in its special and to me 'spectacular' Le Mans livery.... a huge improvement of the look over the drab grey look it had launched and run with earlier in the season. Im happy to learn it will continue with the LM livery for the rest of the year.
The Penske Porsches also looked better with their Le Mans frocks on. Having said that re the Porsches I thought the Gold coloured Hertz JOTA privateer 963 was the best looking Porsche of the lot.

I thought I would like to Porsche better, but it seemed like a cartoony version of a Taycan. And for some reason it continued to evoke Teletubbies vibes with me (and I don't know why exactly). It was a major disappointment for a life long Porsche enthusiast like me.
But I can say I was rooting for it during the 24hr race!

Yeah, the Pug is definitely my 2nd favorite pick, not just for how different it looks but the thought behind the design, which is great to see in this increasingly cookie cutter era. Overall, they all look fantastic. A golden time for sports car racing.

Honestly every single car looks great. We're living in the era some of the best-looking cars in history performing on track. I finally agonised between Pug and Ferrari, and Peugeot takes my choice. Especially when the new livery came out it just looks so good with no rear wing. It looks rather a concept model for design study.
