Racing at Le Mans always requires some ingenuity. There’s a lot of thinking outside the box that goes into creating a racing car that will make it through 24 hours of solid racing, and perhaps win.
But some cars that have raced at Le Mans have been so far outside the box that they deserve some kind of recognition. Some of these have been very successful, take the Bugatti Type 57G Tank or Mazda’s 787B that won the whole thing. One was designed with no intention of even finishing, just breaking a record - from WM and Peugeot. And some were… less successful.
These are the ones that we remember the most, from a twin-hulled torpedo built by a steering wheel company to one that looks a little like a sex toy.
Which have been your favourite off-the-wall Le Mans racers?

I would say the Rondeau, though amazingly won 1980 Le Mans, but the appearance does not seem quite ideal, very short nose meet up with huge and wide front windshield. Almost seems like UFO but on the ground instead of flying and on 4 wheels.

I'd say the Talbot Lago 26 GS that won in 1950. Basically a two-seater version of the Grand Prix Talbot Lago T26C, fitted with lights, and cycle wings. Also, because Louis Rosier drove it for nearly the whole race, his son, Jean-Louis, only driving for a few laps in the end, I think.

@@vaughnsigal4560 I thought it would have been a deathtrap at 360 kph you reckon close to 400? lol I kinda doubt it, there's been lots of development of high speed cars and they say at high speeds you need to add incredible amounts of horsepower to get a few miles/kphs of speed. In its' qualifying setup with 1500 hp it would definitely have the power but there would be no reason to run it at 400kph, not even to get the record, they were winning races and if you go for the record you risk killing a driver which would be bad PR.

My favorite car was indelibly etched into my memory by getting to watch the first hour of Le Mans shown live on the west coast of the U.S.A. and watching the Ford GT go flying past the 3 Ferrari's on the Mulsanne straight. I know the Ford didn't finish the race, but those 3 prototype Ferraris didn't either. At 13 that was the most awesome thing I'd ever seen. 205 with a pushrod V8. Thanks to the people of Wide World of Sports for showing the first hour and the last hour live. We think nothing of watching the entire race live nowadays but that was revolutionary.

Surely 1st prize goes to the camera car built solely for the purpose and officially entered as a race car to film parts of the film LeMans starring Steve McQueen? Not many people realise that some of the sequences used in the final film were filmed whilst the race was underway. If you watch the start of the 1970 televised sequences you will see an odd looking white car with cameras. The Porsche 908/2 that McQueen had previously co-driven to second place in the 12 Hours of Sebring was entered in the race by McQueen’s Solar Productions, This #29 car can be briefly seen in the starting grid, covered with a black sheet (at approximately 17:51 minutes) and again at just before the 79-minute mark (at 1:18:42), racing past the starting line. The “camera car” was driven by Porsche’s Herbert Linge and Jonathan Williams. The car traveled 282 laps, or 3,798 km (2,360 miles), and finished the race in ninth position. It was not classified, however, as it had not covered the required minimum distance It did, however, manage to finish second in the P3.0 class.

The Nardi Twin-Boom had a Giannini 4 cylinder 750 in it. It was an earlier car that had the BMW twin in it. That’s clear from watching the footage and reading the Wikipedia entry. It was also very quick for a 750. It had a claimed top speed of 134mph, which no doubt made it faster down the Mullsane straight than the famed 750cc Lotus 11 which won the index of performance at Le Mans in 1957, which was a bit lighter than the Nardi. I doubt the Nardi was blown off the road by anything.

The Rover BRM is an odd story. I'm surprised it didn't have a better showing. The first turbine entered into the Indy 500 lead the race for 492 miles, until the transmission broke.

Not necessarily. I have about 2,500 hours in the back of a Squirrel helicopter, with an 840 hp gas turbine spinning less than a metre above and behind my head. With normal headphones, the noise is reduced to a relatively comfortable level.

What, no mention of the "fastest lorry in the world"? The Bentley 3.0 has to get at least an honourable mention. Huge and heavy, it was a five time winner ffs.

Only two wins, and it wasn't particularly large or heavy for its time. Certainly not compared to the Speed Six, that also won twice. And wasn't Ettore's famous comment referring to Birkin's Blower?

I believe it was the Nissan GTP ZX-T that changed endurance racing in '89 with their Sebring win. They ran the race as though it was a 2 or 3 hour sprint event instead of an endurance event...

The spanish Pegaso bisiluro beated the british Jaguar and the spanis bisiluro was earlier than the nardi. I think that the pegaso bisiluro should have been called Pegaso "Blas de Lezo".

3:23 - That might be a BMW engine, but it's not one of their motorrad engines. "An oval steering wheel." D shaped steering wheels are not uncommon for race cars that don't use quick disconnect type wheels.
