At the risk of sounding pretentious, I feel that the Porsche 956/962 has to go down as a design classic, like the Coca-Cola Bottle or the IPod.

I agree with futuretiger, and I'd like to add the Sauber C11, the BMW M1 Procar (in the red-white-blue livery as used by Stuck in '79) and the Peugeot 205 T16 Evo. 2 to the list.

I'd love to have seen those BMW M1 Procars in the flesh. Is the 205 you are referring to the one seen on that famous film made at Pike's Peak?

That would be the 405 T16, in "Climb Dance".

Although the 405 was the star (along with Ari) of 'Climb Dance' the movie, 205 T16was also used at Pikes Peak with the same sort of big wing look. Here is a tribute clip to the car with some footage and interviews. You will probably notice that an at the time young World Rally Champion is interviewed. Probably now the most successful boss in Motor Sports History with at least one World Championship for everything he has been involved in. You probably know who I mean but you will certainly recognise him.

So do I. Especially the Ferrari 512, which tends to be overshadowed by the other sportscars of its era.

I also love the Matra and Renault sportscars of the 1970s.
