I'd say Matra M670 and porsche 917...
I have one lap on Lemans with Pescarolo in the matra with the sound...incredible sound!!! one of the most beautiful car sound i've ever heard ( with some porsche (908/6 910/8 etc)

The best Le-mans car ever.... hmmmmm.....
I'd have to go with the 1991 Pontiac
Life begins @ 200 MPH
There's no replacement for displacement.
it;s not funny .. not at all
There is no terrible way of winning
there is just winning
These three all left their mark: Jaguar D-type
Ford GT40
Porsche 917
Matra M670, Porsche 917, Ford GT40, Ferrari 250 GTO, and the Audi R8. I think all these are great LeMan cars.
VIVA FERRARI!!!!!!

There were also some beautiful cars that went to Le Mans and didn't win, such as the ferrari 512s. There were eight of them in the 1970 race to my knowledge.
No. 5,6,7,8
Then the 2 Scuderia cars
Then the Francorchamps car
Then the american racing ferrari of Sam Posey
Any other cars you guys think looked real good at Le Mans, stylistically that is, that didn't win.
There are also some late 60', early 70's Alfa's I'd have to put on there too.

Nice Alpine.
There were some pre-917 porsche cars that were pretty sweet too. I can't get pictures, but I would also have to include the ferrari p4, mercedes slr, and the Shelby Daytona Coupe. They were all awesome cars, but again, I must say that the coolest and best Le Mans car of all time, without a doubt, is the Porsche 917.
Shelby Daytona coupe...it is sad to say other then the black and white pic with carool shelby and a few others that the only pics i have of the car are one i found in www.carinbarns.com very sad siteof good american cars that are rotting away in people sheds and driveways apprentkly that rotting daytona coupe is parked in some little old ladys driveway who has asked for $500,000 for the car...she knows what it is sadly...i would love to buy itand SAVE it
more pics of the GT40 and hopefully not reposts on my part....
some of the daytona coupe, this time a French owned one that is regularly run is historic races. (there are some people who think this particular is not an original one though) The first pic shows the driver (Henri Pescarolo) just visible behind the car. Pics taken at Silverstone in the late nineties when Coys festivals were still booming.
