Hunter green. But I think the deep metallic blue is a good color too (and I've gone with that color a couple of times).

My 17-year-old gearhead son just texted me that he was laughing in study hall when I sent him the website, he said,"Just because you HAVE a Lambo doesn't mean you SHOULD drive it."

What a dumbass!!

[PS. A Mercielago is not a butt-ugly car. It is a piece of sculpted genius ]

They stopped being that and started looking generic and ugly after they ceased building the Countach and Diablo. Non of the four cars they mke now look appealing at all.

Thre are official racing colors by country:
Blue for France,
Yellow forBelgium,
White for Germany;
Red for the USA;
Green for the UK (British racing green.)
Colors were re-established in the 1920s and 1930s era of Grand Prix motor racing, when the blue Bugattis of France and the red Alfa Romeos of Italy dominated many races.

In the 1930s the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union teams did not apply the traditional German white paint, and the bare sheets of metal gave rise to the term Silver Arrows. Porsche in the 1950s and 1960s also retained the silver colouring, although other German teams in the 1960s (such as BMW) returned to white paint. Other German manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Audi (Auto Union) used silver paint when they returned to international racing in the 1990s. It is not known why the German teams in the 1930s did not apply white paint, although a myth developed that it was due to the need to be under a weight limit; however the first "Silver Arrow" raced in 1932, before a weight limit was imposed. (True, but in 1934 Mecedes arrived at a gran prix race where the new maximum weight was 750KG. The Mercedes cars were a tiny bit over the maximum weight. After a nasty discusssion about the accuracy of scales, the Mercedes cars were stripped of their paint and made the weight. The Mercedes team manager then supposedly referred to the gran prix scales operator as 'scheisskopf,' which term has nothing to do with scales.)

Ferrari is red. Period. Full stop.




( Enzo wouldn't have it any other way ).

Rosso Corsa is the red international motor racing colour of cars entered by teams from Italy.

Since the 1920s Italian race cars of Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, and later Ferrari and Abarth have been painted in rosso corsa ("racing red"). This was the customary national racing colour of Italy as recommended between the world wars by the organisations that later became the FIA...

The British Racing Green colour (and a nice dark green it is, too) is reputed to have come about because some British cars turned up to a race in Ireland and either in the wrong colour of no colour , I cannot remember. But supplies of the dark green were available and the cars painted. Thus was born "British Racing Green".

I think the deal was, they were green but the Irish objected to the shade of green from a national level, so black was added to the green at hand and the cars repainted.
