I agree that its kind of ugly... the RS200 was much more a design and function merger... but this was along the same lines. Cool car, and I'm sure that had this car come to fruition, it would've looked considerably better.

As far as influences.... the nose, i see the Lancia Martini car... and some other similar shapes that were created under the Group C WSC, and IMSA rules. Group B regulated that no ground effects could exist... but this car is most definitely has ground effect in mind in it's design.... it likely would not have raced in this form.

I don't think the Alpine had much influence, nor the 911.
