    Oh dear! The zebra stripe get-up is not doing it any favors, STILL looks like it needs to go on a diet!

    Not many of the original country racing colors matter anymore. But British Racing Green is so recognizable that it really looks wrong on an Italian car. Of course Italy got lucky being assigned Rosso Corsa.

    Somebody mentioned a Jaguar E-Type. I do know what the ugliest stock E-Type color was: Greensand. It's not green and it isn't a sand color. It's dijon mustard yellow. Unfortunately, it's the color of my inlaw's V12 XKE Coupe.

    If you dare look, you can go to autocolorlibrary.com and pull up any of the early 1970s and look at it on a color chip.

    I suppose that it says something about the beauty of the E-Type that even in this ghastly shade, it is still a very pretty car.

    I have also seen this color on a local 458 and can attest that it's just as horrific in person.

    I don't think there is an ugly color on a Ferrari. The original picture makes me think of a Lotus Elise, but I still like it.

    Mika Hakkinen had a metallic brown 360 years ago, right after the 360 came out. I thought it was one of the ugliest cars I had ever seen. Mika ordered it specially, and wanted that color. He kept saying over and over to me. "Dis kar is boo--tee--ful. Just boo-tee-ful.

    If that enzo had black or dark wheels would look much better. Still would get it repainted would probably increase the resale by $100k.

    Would that be Michael Fuxx's mint green 458. Yes it was pretty bad

    I think the Rapper who covered his 360 in a Gucci pattern was high on the list as well

    Saw that green 458 at Cars and Coffee - it's way uglier in person.

    But give it a mint green interior and we'd have a grasshopper cookie!

    8 cyl, vintage 12's, and flat 12 F cars always look good in red, black, and yellow.

    L cars always look good in viper green, orange, yellow, and purple.




    Flip the colors (aside from yellow), and they look terrible on the other marque.

    I think black looks sinister on a lambo. And the other colors work well too. But other than yellow, loud just doesn't seem to work on a Ferrari. But that's my opinion. I actually prefer non red Fcars. I wouldn't buy a red Ferrari, well, except a 288 or F40. I just like the more subdued colors. Though I love yellow on a 355. Works on the Enzo also very well, though black is my favorite. But the great thing about paint is you can change it if you don't like it.
