Porsche 919 Hybrid
Looks like a mutant LMP1, in my opinion . . . but I dig it!

Porsche officially took the wraps off its new LMP1 contender Tuesday in Geneva, in preparation for the start of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Porsche 919 Hybrid, the first top-level factory prototype to come from the German manufacturer in 16 years, features a 2.0-liter V4 turbo engine coupled with two energy recovery systems, per the new-for-2014 regulations.
Both a battery-based system on the front axle and a thermal energy unit powered by exhaust gases, combines with the conventional gasoline powerplant, which is estimated to produce 500 horsepower. The hybrid systems utilize the series’ maximum allowance of 8 MJ.

It just looks....weird. It's like it's blocky or something, and even though the paint job is a creative idea, the execution is terrible. Nobody will ever be at the right angle to correctly read it.
