These Are Your 15 Ugliest Race Cars In Motorsport History
Motorsport is renowned for its beautiful, complicated machinery and technology – but sometimes the chase for speed results in some rather disturbing-looking race cars. Here are some of your suggestions for the ugliest motorsport machines you’ve seen
1. Caterham CT05
As suggested by Adam Brown
Why, Caterham? Why?

Fortunately this design wasn’t in F1 very long…

It looks sad to be included on this list. Sorry…
4. Cadillac Le Monstre

Aero all the way.
5. Fiat Multipla

WHAT IS THIS? Looks like someone’s turned a Multipla into the most unlikely drift car ever!
6. March 711
As suggested by Jakob
That front wing would make a great table.
7. Chaparral 2J
As suggested by Robi
8. Dallara Doran Racing JE4

Prototypes usually look brilliantly futuristic but this is just something else!

A central mirror was never a good idea, was it?

As suggested by Daniel Hall
11. Panoz Abruzzi

You can almost hear them screaming “Kill me please”
Whoever said the Caterham CT05 is ugly has a serious color taste problem.
It wasn’t the colour, i love that! It is the Disgusting nose….
Am I the only one who actually kinda likes the Caterham CT05?
I’m not that sure about the design, but the color is just magnificent!
The colour is beautiful, but a front end that looks like gentleman’s sausage is going to look like a gentleman’s sausage no matter what colour it’s in.
I actually like that Prius…. I’m ready to face the hate 😃
Same here.
there is no hate to be given when its a GT car. Any GT car is cool in my opinion.
The Multipla and Prius aren’t that ugly, tbh. I could be wrong, but I’m noticing a serious bandwagon-mentality. Who doesn’t want to humiliate sports/GT300 cars in a Prius or Multipla?
The prius looks cool (in my opinion) and the multipla looks like it’s photoshoped
I can see our argument for the Prius but not the multipla
Fun fact. “Driftcar” Multipla has “Yokohama Time Attack” sticker all across it’s door. Yeah. Drifting. Sure. Pretty cool idea to take one of the most unaerodynamic cars ever and try to beat the clock with it. Pretty sure it left some local BMW’s with a sour taste in their mouth!
Also, that Prius is anything but ugly. Beautiful machine and amazing engineering that went into it too.
Fiat, is a maybe IMO, but that Prius. I’d drive one!
Hellooo? Have we all forgotten the Mosler Raptor? it was a race car for a short time before being kicked to the curb by regulations, but still counts, right?
Nice one
I really like the number 12 williams
I kinda like the Multipla in this case.. it’s very unique and the best looking multipla I’ve ever seen xD but it’s still ugly
I think 10 and 11 aren’t ugly
What’s wrong with the Ferrari, Williams, ligier or the lotus?
I actually quite like the Williams and the Ferrari looks alright but we all have different tastes
