Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG wears the iconic Gulf Blue/Orange trim colors in NY

Autoblog Reports: "If you watched auto racing in the 1960s and 70s, your eyes likely caught sight of baby blue and orange streaks roaring to victory on tracks around the world. Gulf livery has since become an iconic paint scheme for everything from the ratty street cars of wide-eyed boy racers to expensive watches and clothing for those looking to embrace their inner McQueen."

Houston we have a winner!

 

o m g that is ridiculous... DJ, did you go to press day today?

 

Can't wait to see it, looks amazing!

 

Ummm, was that not a Porsche specific color combo? I do not believe I have seen it on a MB, ever. It's kind of like PDiddy on the Hawaii 5-0 remake. I just have to turn my head. If I am wrong, so be it, but I do not think so.

 

^Ford GT40 too. And more recently, Audi Le Mans cars as well.

 

True dat, but Audi and MB? Any history? To me it's like putting a black and gold Johnny Player Special on a Lotus. Wait, what? I meant a Kia. Or Tata. Or Oldsmobile.

 

That is beauty.

 

the orange side markers don't look too bad in the combo.
