What Porsche develops on the race track, it applies
to the road cars it produces even crossovers like the Macan. One element you
wouldn't expect to see make the transmission from one to the other is its
racing liveries, but looking at these show cars, we can't help but wonder why
it doesn't.
The automaker put five Macans on the streets of
Singapore, each decked out in a color scheme borrowed from one of its classic
racing cars: four from versions of the 917, one from the 956 – Le Mans
challengers (if not outright winers) all.
Hard as it is to choose, one of our favorites is the
Martini Racing livery of red, teal, and blue stripes over white. Another wears
the Rothmans livery (all too often overlooked, in our opinion) of a white upper
body, dark blue lower, with gold and red stripes. There's one in Gulf colors of
baby blue and orange. And another in the Salzburg design of red with white
streaks. Last but not least is the oddball Pink Pig, with dashed lines showing
where the butcher would carve it up.
Porsche's Asia Pacific division performed a similar
treatment this past summer, applying Porsche's current racing livery to a Macan
Turbo (complete with the optional Performance Package).
