What paint scheme should I use on the Yugo?

I was thinking Alitalia.

Abarth

Or ?????

Should be used on a Fiat race car though.

I love the Pink Pig. But I like the ridiculosity of the Bandit a lot more. :)

Neither the pink pig or bandit were used on Fiat race cars....

Ah, I wasn't sure quite what you meant by, "Should be used on a Fiat race car though."

Very well. Personally I don't like any of those racing ones, and think the Abarth style plain white with a red stripe is far and away the best option.

Maybe not just Fiat but at least Lancia and Alfa.

What do you want to know?

1971 Porsche 917-20 aka "Der Truffeljäger von Zuffenhausen" (The Trufflehunter of Zuffenhausen), or simply "The Pink Pig".

It was a study in aerodynamics with a slippery body designed by French firm SERA, run at the 1971 Le Mans 24 hour.

The rumor goes that it was originally painted in Martini colors, but Count Rossi saw how ugly it was and forbade Porsche from running such an ugly car in his colors, so it was repainted in pink before the race.

Before I even opened the thread I saw who it was posted by and thought Alitalia.

I did think of painting it red with a big hammer and sickle on the door and a Yugoslavian flag on the roof but I thought I might get shot in Alabama.
