top 10 ugliest cars ever made

That's one of the things that hurt it unfortunately. it needed super car styling and it would've been the Alfa 4C before the 4C existed. Shame such a man with brilliant ideas got either ignored or shit on because the press didn't think cars like it should be let on the road.

Why does it look French?

>>17458011
at least their next car looked better

>>17457958
This looks neato now but imagine how hideous this would have looked when it came out. If it looked "nice" (as oppose to ironically aesthetic) and the owner didn't piss off General Motors (causing them to pay off publications to mock it), Mossler might have been a big name today.

The best comment ever.

I know WM.

I'm pretty sure that the whole point was to troll the automotive world by putting function first and embracing new ideas.

PS

That is John Fitch's personal consulier at lime rock park in CT.

He had a big hand in designing it. Look him up. Interestin personality.

If you LS swapped that would it beat a snek?

It's successor, the MT900, is LS powered and is so insanely fast that it's basically banned from every racing series worldwide. The MT900R with an LS7 wouldn't just beat Snek but every modern supercar around a track.

that car makes me think of consuela from family guy

MT900 is not banned from competition.

It has been made difficult for it to qualify, for a variety of reasons.

Since it's introduction in the early 2000's, competition has grown stronger, and arguably have copied some traits of the Mt900 concept. I'm not sure if it still races. WM sold the company a few years back after he moved from the mainland. I know that whoever bought the auto company was selling road legal, and track only consuliers pretty cheap for a while. But they all needed work from being stored in Florida for the better part of two decades. I think some jalopnik type people got one, as well as one of the allpar forums guys who is really into 80's Shelby cars.

Looks a bit like a melted saleen s7, still nice though
>>
>>17457996
It may be ugly in a traditional sense, but I think it manages to be ugly in one of those ways it makes it neat, if that makes sense. Or at least striking.
>>
>>17461751
It predates the saleen
>>
>>17462691
like the F40
not really "ugly" but with rough edges

>>17461147
>but every modern supercar around a track.
