Officially this is a 1983 March 83G, but it’s better known as The Lobster thanks to its prominent Red Lobster livery.
The Petersen Automotive Museum offers an in-depth look at this IMSA GTP winner.

Unusual livery, but I'd say there are many other race cars with more iconic livery.

I will venture to say that is probably one of the least Iconic liverys in the history of motorsports. I mean it is cool and all but Iconic?
This is Iconic

Googling sais this is the most iconic car livery.
I hope that someday this one gets more traction :-)

This video does nothing to satiate my appetite to paint a large invertebrate crustacean on my challenge car.

JPS cars were the first ones that came to mind for me.

Iconic?
Remind me, how many Lobster Edition street cars were made?
JPS used on, Lotus, Cosworth Vega, Firebird Trans-Am, and probably a couple more I missed.
Methinks some writers are trying too hard.

In reply to RichardSIA :
Nah-the JPS was overused to the point of becoming simply common.
Agree with Dean that der truffel jeager von zuffenhausen takes the prize:

You're all wrong

The Lobster livery is amazing for how perfectly the car shape lends to the 3D effect of it. My wife is now asking me to figure how well that livery might work on a 280Z enduro car. Certainly not as good... But maybe not all bad either.
I'm really glad to see something OTHER than the same tired old Gulf, Martini, JPS, etc being highlighted for its contributions and given the credit it's due... Perhaps the Grassroots Pedanticsports forum could try showing off the vast wealth of historical racing knowledge by posting more pictures of other underappreciated yet awesome liveries, like the pink pig above, rather than just shilling all of the over-hyped examples that everybody and their mother is already far too familiar with?

"Iconic" does not mean Virtually Unknown.
I may apply the JPS stripes to my Europa, despite it being Blue.
