Maybe there is a slightly different slant on Fools day, but that would be OK!
On Portimao, they did a bit better. Not great by any stretch. Still haven’t got the pace and one car started from the pit lane, but a little more promise than Sebring I think. |

Its being shown on their Twitter feed. Suspect one of many special liveries for centenary race.

From that rear angle the red flowing down to the rear/brake lights looks like...dripping blood.
I do like the scheme. |

That thing has a working diff in it? Maybe they can use it in the race car

Can be called an art livery because it is designed by this artist/designer:
https://www.instagram.com/demsky__/ as a bonus matches TotalEnergies' colors pretty well. |

Looks far better than their battleship grey standard car livery.

Let's hope we see this! Personally, I'm not generally a fan of 'art car' liveries as they often disappoint but this looks so much better than that awful grey....

Porsche still has the worst livery on their Hypercar out of all the teams. That red and white scheme they have is boring AF

Just think what we could have had if they brought the Rothmans and Pink Pig liveries back again.....

Yes, that Shell livery really worked well with the Porsches of that era

Well, they said that they would have a special livery for Le Mans this year, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of their participation in this event, as well as in Motorsport in general.
Personally, I'd like to see the best one of all... The Gulf blue and orange of the 917K. |

Any artists who have done retro schemes on the current cars?

Controversial take this, but there’s nothing inherently special about the Rothmans livery. It’s iconic because of the cars and success those cars had. If we constantly go retro, we won’t create anything iconic in this era in and of itself…

Instead of keep looking backwards and reusing previous iconic liveries, why not make new iconic ones? I applaud Peugeot for going for something new, which is not Black and red! |
