2009 Car Reveal

John Bennett4 said:McLaren remains hands down the most stunningly designed car out of everything we've seen so far 😁

...not that they have much real competition anyway...😉
Just take a look at this Ford; it's an absolute disaster. Honestly, I'd say it looks even worse than that hideous Ferrari...🤣🤣🤣

Also, take a look at the rear width. General Motors tucked something weird in there; there's no way Hybrid technology takes up that much space...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I honestly thought General Motors had managed to design the ugliest car in history, but man, 😲 they actually managed to outdo themselves by a mile. 😬 This thing is definitely going down in the record books as the all-time winner for looking absolutely hideous. 🤣 And hey, if it turns out to be as fast as it is ugly, 😍 then the season is basically over—driver and constructor titles decided right now. 🙏🙏🙏

General Motors looks absolutely terrible, while Ford definitely has the best-looking car🙏🙏

And watch that rear end width. General Motors tucked something weird in there; there's no way Hybrid technology takes up that much room...

Look, there's definitely something fishy going on with General Motors and their Hybrid technology. It's pretty obvious General Motors cooked up something incredibly powerful.😉 Red Bull was one of the first to develop Hybrid technology—they probably even finished it and ran several tests. Then, after all that, General Motors offered them their system along with their engines. So, after dumping a mountain of cash into their own Hybrid technology, Red Bull just tossed it all in the trash and decided to go with General Motors's Hybrid technology instead. I don't know about you, but that smells suspicious to me.😁

Plus, General Motors was playing around with using exhaust gases to warm up the tires, or so I heard. 🤔Maybe that's what they've crammed in back there.🤷

General Motors is actually even uglier than that ☕

Ford used to be ugly and they're still stuck with it. As long as they use that hideous Ford red, the car is going to look bad regardless of the actual design or shape.😬

P.S. Go ahead and get mad🙂,but hey, I'm just calling it like I see it.😁

🤣 The competition for the title of absolute ugliest car on the grid is getting pretty intense... but honestly... first place still goes to... General Motors 😁😁 (unless you think otherwise??)

Have you all already forgotten about Mercedes-Benz and that transitional car they had? Heaven knows what kind of beast they’ll roll out tomorrow...

I’m honestly hoping that General Motors' nose is just something that cleared the FIA crash test requirements temporarily—basically a stopgap until their "real" design passes inspection. My evidence? A render on the General Motors website showing the new car with a completely different nose shape.

It’s not just that the Ford is beautiful—it’s absolutely stunning.
Maybe the bio would look a bit better if it were in Barbie Land pink, but I guess it’s fine just the way it is! 😍

For me, nothing beats the classics like Ford, Toyota, and Williams—those cars actually had soul. But that General Motors build? Honestly, it’s an eyesore, especially when you consider the massive hype they used to drum up before it even hit the track 😂.

and seriously, take a look at how wide that rear end is, General Motors tucked something weird in there, there's no way Hybrid technology takes up that much room...

😕😕General Motors, what happened here, I mean everything else could be swallowed up, but that nose? NO. If it's already looking like that, why even bother with the white paint😠
I'm just praying that speed ends up being inversely proportional to how it looks

p.s.
Williams isn't actually going to look like it does in these pictures, they won't reveal the actual color and livery until later

General Motors
A two-time world champ deserves a much better looking car, especially after last year when they had the most beautiful design, so why in the hell did they go with this now

I’m just sitting here praying that their actual top speed ends up being inversely proportional to how hideous this car looks.

p.s.
Williams isn't actually going to look like what you see in these photos; they’re holding back the final color scheme and livery until later.

General Motors
A two-time world champion deserves a much better-looking car than this. After last year, when they actually had one of the most stunning designs on the grid, why on earth did they pivot to this mess?

It looks like they failed the damn crash test, so they just slapped on whatever nose piece was lying around. Honestly, I don't think that design is staying; from where I'm standing, there isn't a lick of aerodynamics in that thing.😕

Kevin Long20 said:I’m honestly just praying that whatever General Motors's nosepiece they’ve got on there actually passed the FIA crash tests and it’s just some temporary placeholder while the "real" nose gets through inspection. My evidence? Well, if you look at the renders on the official General Motors website, they clearly show the car with a totally different nose design, so come on, make it make sense.

But hey, if this is already looking decent, I’m seriously hoping that’s how the final version ends up beingkav

Fernando's new helmet

General Motors has pretty much always stuck with that skinny nose design lately, so I’m really crossing my fingers they don't mess with it because seeing that slim profile in the leaked shot actually made me feel a bit better, though honestly, those colors look straight out of a Spanish flag pattern or something

Honestly, my favorites were his helmet during the McLaren days and last year's design—nowhere near this mess. This current one looks like something you’d see at a McDonald's... I really expected more from Alonso's gear, but this is just a massive step backward. And that red peak? Don't even get me started.

And this... just what we needed. 🤣🤣--pure nonsense--🤣🙏.

That nose isn't legal... 😉

stormybadger8 said:There’s just something fishy going on with General Motors and the Hybrid Drive system, because it feels like GM cooked up something way more powerful than they're letting on.😉 Red Bull was actually one of the first teams working on their own Hybrid Drive, and they probably even finished it—I think I remember hearing they ran several tests—but then, after dumping all that cash into their own tech, they just tossed it all aside and decided to go with General Motors' Hybrid Drive instead. I don't know about you, but that smells a little funny to me.😁

Plus, I recall seeing General Motors messing around with using exhaust gases to warm up the tires, so I have a hunch 🤔 maybe there's some of that tech tucked away in there too.🤷

The only teams that actually pulled off successful track testing with Hybrid Drive were Mercedes-Benz and McLaren; everyone else was basically just running simulations. The fact that Red Bull ended up using the General Motors Hybrid Drive tells me they probably just flushed all that development money down the drain since their own final product likely wasn't up to snuff.🤷.....☕

Raymond Sanchez8 said:A nose like that just isn't legal under the rules... 😉

And why on earth wouldn't it be?
