Porsche have just revealed its 2014 Le Mans challenger – dubbed the 919 and wearing a very interesting livery. Let’s look back at five of the all time greatest liveries the marque has brought to Le Mans. Porsche 917 – “Pink Pig” – 1971
Simulated meat-cuts made this creative design one for the books. The car crashed out of the race, but survives to this day.
Absolutely beautiful, this car backed up its beauty by winning the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans with Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood behind the wheel.
A timeless classic – the 1970 Gulf 917k is arguably ‘the’ Porsche Sportscar to remember.
Porsche 917 – “The Hippie” – 1970
Martini’s 1970 917 sported one of the most creative and eye-catching liveries motorsport has ever seen. Widely known as “The Hippie”, the car became an instant fan favorite – status which it retains to this day.
For us, this is the be-all and end-all of great looking race cars. The Rothmans Porsche 956 was absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. If you don’t agree, or think there’s a machine we’ve missed – be sure to head on over to our Facebook page and drop us a comment!
