Come on, it looks like a piece of wet fiberglass layed over the a set of tires. Or a UFO.

Nope, I think I like it, after all, it is a race car, form follows function I guess.
Nice color too.

Black Flachbau is nice too, really mean looking

I guess you're right. Afterall nothing says "aerodynamics" like a 914.
