JUST been sent a press release on a late entry for 2009's Ugliest Car Of The Year Award*.
The Skelta, pictured, is the Australian automotive industry's latest export to UK shores, and encompasses the open-top Spyder and the G-Force, a coupe with Mercedes-style gullwing doors.
It follows in the footpath of some magical motors - notably the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathhurst S, a rebadged Holden - but couldn't they have made just a bit prettier?
It's also worth mentioning the idea for this car was conceived while listening to a Beatles track (Helter Skelter, hence the name), which might go some way to explaining the slightly trippy styling.
I'm sure it's brilliant at scaring Ferraris, Porsches and Nissan GT-Rs on both road and racetrack, but it takes effort to come up with something this, er, challenging.
I'd still like a go though.
*The Ugliest Car of the Year Award doesn't actually exist. Yet.
