Some of those colors are indeed classics, but if you ask me the most iconic livery is the red/white Marlboro that endured 22 years with McLaren in Formula 1 (as well as other years with BRM, Willians (Iso) and Alfa Romeo), and 20 years with Penske in Indycar. Not even mentioning it is quite dissapointing…

Well to add my tuppenny’s worth to the debate, the Samson tobacco livery on the Shadow or the penthouse livery…
anything with a Rothmans logo, Rally 959′s to the Group C Porsches, the 7up branding on Eddie Jordans F1 racer was easy on the eye and McLarens post Marlboro silver red and Black which has evolved from the West cigarette days into a more or less corporate colour for the team. How about the UFO jeans on the BMW batmobile back in the day…

I agree with all of them, but not including Marlboro’s red and white in such a list is a big oops! My favorites are Parmalat, Martini, Gulf, Alitalia, elf, Gitanes,… well, almost all the list, really!

As for future classics, I think McLaren’s current chrome look will be right there.

That’s definitely on the list for the ‘ones we left out last time’ livery feature in a few years!
