I'll play along. I copied a BMW art car, I know I know...from manufacturer

That's beautiful, it was my favorite of the Art Cars and works well on the Boxster.
Rons said:_ said:. And gulf on anything other than what it originally came on is hysterical. Comical at best.
The Gulf colours are actually John Wyer's colours. After the Gt40 they were used on his Porsche 917s and the Mirage cars that JWAE built and won with.
I think you've got that backwards. JWA used the Gulf colors because they were sponsored by Gulf. https://www.gulfoilltd.com/timeline/sport/
You see Gulf a lot because it's really easy. Doing something that flatters the body lines of a car is a lot harder. Martini liveries - with a few lazy exceptions - were all designed to suit the specific body they were wrapped around.

Trying to keep it "in the family" somewhat I found the following.
This one seems like an obvious choice, but it's only about half red:
It's been done though:
Probably the easiest to execute, but perhaps not very recognizable on anything that's not a Viper:
This one's not that vintage, or widely recognizable, but I like it:

In reply to Keith Tanner :
I may have over stated the relationship - I read it as Wyer brought Gulf sponsorship to his WEC program that covered various chassis, and the colours were the programs, and not the chassis.
Agreed - the Gulf-sponsored JWE team ran a number of chassis under the same colors. IIRC JWE didn't run the blue and orange on GT40s until Gulf came on board as a sponsor.
Uuuum JPS!

Hey GRM, you spelled "BRE Datsuns" wrong.
No one mentioned the great Martini livery on the new 935
I like that Martini stripe on the 911. A local PCA'er here has done a much more extensive Martini livery on his 996 and it looks horrible IMO. Just the Martini stripe is more subtle.
my favorite racecar is Alain Prost's f1. What if Williams Renault made a sports racer, it might look like my Spec Racer Ford Gen3

Gran turismo 1 is your friend.

Dirt Late Models are guilty of this.
To me nothing will ever beat well-done Martini stripes on a white Porsche 911, especially if the rims are painted red as well. Although the gulf oil livery on the right car can look pretty awesome as well.
I'm kind of shocked there doesn't seem to be any examples of the Millen Motorsports Pikes Peak RX-7 livery on anything modern.
I kind of want a white ND RF Miata to do it to now. Also a trailer sporting Panasports, but that's a different story.
How about vintage or vintage-esque liveries on vintage 911's? 
My friend and dealer (kinda like drugs but Miata parts) did this in Birmingham Alabama and went to Pike's Peak and Miatas at Laguna Seca. Keith has seen it in person i believe.
Ohh.. an internet arguement about other peoples preferences.. Can I cast judgement as well?

I have! He stopped by our shop. I was about to mention it in response to the Millen comment. Thanks.
The Renown livery on the ND Miata is new to me. I have to admit I don't think of it as vintage, but it is nearly 30 years old. It's also 100% appropriate for a Miata.
911s aren't modern cars, they wore those liveries when new :)
