Great looking? 

I think they're the ugliest turboprop nacelles ever, but we're all different, thank goodness. 

Not ugly as such, but alive ?

Look like something you might see in a cartoon but with a face ?

We're living in the age ever improving CFD, which means form follows function is more than a design maxim.

Next you'll be telling us you don't like the appearance of current F1 and Indy cars.

Almost. The current batch of F1 cars are terrible, but not quite as bad as they were last year! 'Real F1 cars' looked like they did in the 80s, wiiiiiide track, low noses, no fiddly aero bits etc. (I'm starting to sound like my Dad.  )

But I quite like the current Indy cars, they don't have such a plethora of aero bits to 'fine tune' the airflow as the F1 cars do, and look the better for it. Mind you, the 80s-90s Indy cars looked even better to my mind.



F1 cars compared, 2017 on the left, 1984 on the right.

I think the Indycars are also ugly and festooned with appendages - at least in road course guise.



The 2018 car looks like it will be much tidier (and the same for everyone).


F1 cars have improved in looks this year in a few ways, and become worse in others.

They have wider tracks and wider tyres, which make them look good, as with the lower rear wing.

But the rear wing end plates just look silly to me and freeing up the "bargeboard" area was a mistake.

Only since last year, but the 2016 cars really looked TERRIBLE!

That 1984 McLaren above would be difficult to improve on, those cars had a REALLY wide track and were clean of all the fins and add-ons that seem to be de rigeur these days.

Yes indeed, much better than the current cars.
