If you are a fan of endurance race cars, you should opt for used options while making the most of platforms such as CarSwitch to make things even more hassle-free. 

Let’s have a look at some of the best-looking endurance race cars ever created. 

Ford GT40

There is no denying the fact that the GT40 was a fascinating car. However, it obviously looked even more enticing with the blue and orange Gulf colors. The car was exceptionally dominant in its time as it clinched Le Mans again and again for as many as four consecutive occasions between 1966 and 1969, with several versions. A total of 107 units were produced with the main aim of taking on Ferrari.

Porsche 962

The Porsche 962 was somewhat unusual, mostly because of the fact that it remained successfully well after its launch right at the end of 1984. In addition, it was even raced exceptionally well into the 1990s. The car has so many accolades to its name i.e. Le Mans in 1986 and 1987. Moreover, Porsche customer Jochen Dauer modified the 962 in an amazing way and won the race in  1994. It was beyond any shadow of a doubt a dominant machine and won various championships across the world while wooing enthusiasts over time and time again. 

McLaren F1 GTR

The name McLaren F1 GTR pops up in mind all of a sudden whenever we talk about a dominant beast blended together with exceptional beauty. Moreover, it also enjoyed a brilliant reputation with its spell-binding success. In addition, it is most well-known for beating prototypes to the out-right Le Mans win in 1995 and all of this was owing to its exceptional reliability. The elegant model also witnessed various upgrades and in 1997 the ‘Long Tail’ version of F1 was introduced. Some of the cars were raced brilliantly into the 2000s after being chosen by private owners. 

Audi R18

It goes without saying that the R18 is truly a handsome machine, however, we shouldn’t also forget the very first variation of the car that was launched back in 2011. Its exceptional sleek lines, marvelous styling, and closed cockpit definitely made it the most spell-binding machine on the grid. Besides, it was super fast too. The marvelous achievement that it had was clinching Le Mans and scoring various other podiums. 

Mercedes CLR

Mercedes CLR was without any shadow of a doubt an out-of-the-box kind of machine, but it had a peculiar elegance too, especially when it comes to design. Regardless of the fact that it was a fascinating car, its spell in sportscar racing didn’t last that long.

This model of the iconic German automotive giant has one and only outings i.e. at the 1999 Le Mans. Two harrowing airborne incidents for a young Mark Webber obviously meant the number 4 car was withdrawn just before the race and the same, scary crash happened in the renowned event while forcing the one and only left car to be retired.  

Ferrari 330 P3/4

If you have thoroughly read the history of endurance racing, you will come to know that the 330 P3/4 was quite undoubtedly one of the most glamorous endurance cars in the history of the game. This spell-binding model took on the GT40 and while both were exceptionally well to look at, the Ford just truly enjoyed the edge at Le Mans in 1967. Only one P3/4 and three P4s were ever made and although it missed out on a few milestone achievements, the incredible offering by Ferrari exceptionally looked incredible out on the track.
