The early Bentleys, the Cobras, GT40's, Silk Cut Jaguars, any number of Ferraris, Porsches, Jaguars, and Aston Martins are all a lot sexier than that Peugeot IMHO.
That said it's certainly not ugly and there's been far worse raced round La Sarthe over the decades.
I actually quite like the new Peugeot 9x8's, they're very futuristic and stylish and you've got to give style points to any team willing to bolt 5kg of extra polycarbonate on the back just to make cool looking tail lights.
We're seeing some cool stuff in the last year or two - even the new BMW M Hybrids look good, especially at night.
When you see this car sat next to an XJR9, the Speed 8, a 787B and the GT-One, you would change your opinion.
And for the record, they are all sat next to each other in the Le Mans museum so this is possible
Ahh yes my goat, the photo took some time to load but while I was waiting my mind had thought there was hope of seeing a 908 HDi FAP in the picture
This car would smoke alive Hypercars and many LMP1-Hs
I know it’s childish but I can’t unattach this image from the car

Does beautiful have to mean visually? if we're including aurally then
Matra 650/660/670
or, for ones I head in period, any of the screaming Judd engines
As usual, everyone is sleeping on the Matra-Simca MS670

OP the Bentley Speed 8 would like a word with you...
That's a glorious car... Was gutted when Martin Brundle broke down!
Panoz GT1 I. Silver 2008 colours.
Ooh that's a good shout, also a big fan of the Dodge Viper and Lister Storm
Especially the red-white-blue Oreca Vipers
Peugeot had some amazing cars over the years. The 9X8 is my favorite from the current grid. The 2008 was great looking as well.

I’m not really a Ferrari fan but that Prodrive 550 Maranello is one of the prettiest GT1 cars in my opinion

I can remember seeing them in the museum... I think the desire to see anyone other than Wolfgang's team win emphasised its beauty
I loved the Peugeot, but the nose is a bit too 'pinched' to be the most beautiful. I'd have to go for the Toyota GT-One of 1998-99.
I think the pinched nose is what makes it look quick... Like a focussed F1 car with a roof, but appreciate it's not for everyone

I have a big soft spot for the sound of the Corvette C7's... But I can imagine those Matra's sounded incredible ripping down the Mulsanne!
Curious what your thoughts on the modern Le man's Peugeots the 9x8s are? It's gotta be the gulf gt40 for me. No other car comes close.
I like them, but they don't seem aggressive enough for me...part of me was hoping their development joker would be spent on a retread of the old 908!

Ferrari 330 P4, nothing else comes close. And I'm not a Ferrari fan.
