Most "Race-car-looking" race car ever?

I nominate this- the 1968 Matra MS11. The version with the six-pipe exhaust and the wing:

And as a side benefit- it is most likely one of the top five best SOUNDING race cars of all time, too:

This is definitely one of them, for me:

It'd be hard for me to choose between the sound of the Matra and that, frankly.

I'm pretty sure that I built a model of that one when I was a kid. George Barris is a legend!

One of the first model kits I ever built was the 1966 Gurney Eagle-Westlake F1 car. In general, most late-'60s F1 cars are pretty great-looking to me.
