Wan Shi Porsche?

Color scheme reminds me of that giant talking Barn Owl.

Spyderman · 18 Mar 2016, 17:19 (Ref:3623910)

Yeah, not my favorite, but I will reserve judgement until we see they actual thing.

Another from LMPone

chernaudi · 18 Mar 2016, 17:40 (Ref:3623917)

Still better than being almost all white.

The image has changed from what it was previously, so I suspect you are correct. The image they were showing earlier is better, but not by a lot.

exactly my view. Now that the livery improved, considerably, I hope the 2016 aero is a lot different than the 2015 one but my actual expectation is that it will look a lot like last year's car.

There's always Audi's offering,

bentley speed 8 · 19 Mar 2016, 05:16 (Ref:3624097)

It's a little better, but just a bit...

Spyderman · 19 Mar 2016, 12:50 (Ref:3624204)

So.. according to Motorsport Total the car that they were testing was chassis 1508 which means it was a 2015 car with 2016 update parts.
Chassis number 1601 and 1602 will be ready for the Prologue.

We can make a crowdfunding to buy VGA graphic cards to the LMP1 livery designers and have more than 4 colours. I´m not asking for something so great as Flying Lizards or Prospeed 911s in LM, but I´m sure they can do more sexy things than the current liveries

TF110 · 19 Mar 2016, 18:40 (Ref:3624461)

It looks fine imo. I don't care for bright rainbow colored cars. I prefer they run their corporate colors or black. This livery reminds me of the signature plus Aston Martin

You are right. Even 256 colors are enough !

Spyderman · 23 Mar 2016, 06:03 (Ref:3626177)

Car is as leaked and expected.

Spyderman · 23 Mar 2016, 06:47 (Ref:3626184)

So Audi claims over 1,000 bhp, whilst Porsche claims only over 900 bhp.

YorkshireLad · 23 Mar 2016, 06:57 (Ref:3626185)

Not much changed by Porsche? If audi is reliable, the bhp figures from each team slightly higher than claimed + the trick areo from audi. Might be a one horse race.

Both teams are being modest to be fair, it'll be interesting to see what figure Toyota quote as they were the first one to say there car was over a 1,000bhp in 2014

We will never know the actual power outputs: What is interesting is the delta between the two claims, not the value of the claims themselves.

Pontlieue · 23 Mar 2016, 07:23 (Ref:3626198)

The new livery is a step in the right direction, but just a small one. Just get rid of those letters already, they achieve nothing but making the livery look like a cluttered mess.

Even if I prefer colours, black and white liveries can look good too, as demonstrated by the Lola-Aston that TF110 posted above.

The worst part about the Porsche livery is not a lack of colour, but that it completely ignores the lines of the car.

YorkshireLad · 23 Mar 2016, 07:45 (Ref:3626203)

Just been looking at some pictures of the car on Twitter, on some the comms sit on the ledge, on others it's gone.

Why is this?

Akrapovic · 23 Mar 2016, 08:19 (Ref:3626213)

I'm liking the new car. Very very nice!
