Best looking car?

Great little snippet in the F1 coverage from the Beeb this morning.

What is your fave Lotus F1 car?

Well for me a contender should be the 99T, the Honda engined beast that had active suspension. Was not a great looking machine but totally revolutionised the sport and made active suspension seem an altogether real possibility for some teams as Lotus were never having the biggest budget but managed to come up with this.

The 100 and 101 alos looked very pretty, the 100 in fact being so low and sleek.

I also liked the Type 88, again because it was revolutionary.

But my all time fave has to be the 80, that utterly amazing looking wing car The version that ran with no winglets and a sort of Indy rear wing, it looked years ahead of its time.

It was useless and Mario and Reutemannn hated it, but my God it looked fabulous!

Any ideas?
