Whoever designed the modern version of it, did an awesome job. Modern porsches (past 2000) have gotten a bit too boring, and it needs to be bring some more color in their line up.

#22The colors look beautiful on the car. Hopefully a Ternus-lead Apple will find the courage to adorn the Macbook Pro line with six colors. I would bet there's so much pent up demand for properly colored macbooks. What's the argument against it – SKU explosion?
Is there?
I walked past a parking lot yesterday and everything was in black, white and silver.
When I bought my house the agent turned up her nose about the wood furnishings instead of "millennial white".
The resale value of macs is one of their selling points, just like cars. Generic colours win. I contend there is no pent up demand.

#23Only HN could find something negative to say about a wrap on a car. The internet is a remarkable place.
Race fans criticize liveries all the time.

#24This is a nothing burger of a story.

#25Neat. Porsche releases different gear from time to time based on classic liveries. An espresso cup wearing this livery would be nice.
For example, here's what's left of the martini racing collection: https://shop.porsche.com/us/en-US/c/collections?hierarchical...

#26This is a strange sounding title. It sounds like Porsche was fighting against Apple’s colors in Laguna Seca, when instead they’ll be used on Porsche cars.
> to take part in a competition, election, etc., and try to win it

#27It's not a 'greige' (grey-beige) paint job tho so it doesn't look very good. The rainbow apple logo needs the greige to foreground its vibrancy. White is too loud, and drowns out the pop.
Got down voted here but I was being serious. That greige colour of early Apple was part of the branding that made room for the colourful logo. These race cars break design rules and look worse for it.

#28Ah, they just today did Formula E in a Pink Pig livery ( https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/1062899 ) but I think the Apple livery might have been more apt.
Yummy pink pig liver. So livery.

As a millennial I grew up with 90s fun colors. I want color. Gen X has largely oppressed us with Millenial White, Beige and earth tones. It is both inoffensive but also depressing.

#30apple should go back to their classic logo minimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality. People want personality back: https://x.com/HeyZaraKhan/status/2050166377269620920 Related, MB bringing back physical buttons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47997418 Physical media is making a comeback too (including books)
Those rainbow colors have a different connotation in popular culture. Not sure if Apple's marketing team would want to take any risks there.
