Cars that look best in odd colors

The 996 Carrera 4S looks fantastic in Speed Yellow, which is a fairly uncommon color on the car.

This is not silver paint , this is polished aluminum.

I can post a million unique paint-to-sample (PTS) Porsche 911s but this 992 Sport Classic in a color called Yachting Blue Metallic will do for now. Also, this car just looks way better without any decals or stripes you tend to see them with.

LaFerrari in Blu Elettrico. The color looks fantastic in these studio photos.

The first photo looks like a Gran Turismo scape.

Missed this! Not sure how. Probably clicked to latest post below the primary forum link? Anyway...

A blue amc rebel

Not just a Rebel but a Machine at that. Never liked the Machine hood but it's a very cool car despite, and it's stunning in that color.

Not sure about that coach line. Or rather I am sure that it's not to my taste.

This is my favourite truck. It's the right length, the right stance and the right combination of classic and modern design cues.

993 Turbo S in this crazy violet color. Wow.

 

[TexRex]

Hnnnngg...

Edit: Same color on a coupe with black vinyl top and interior, my preferred configuration.

Just popped up on PistonHeads; Ocean Jade Metallic on an early base 996.

Purple Mercedes-Benz W140 S70 AMG

Root beer brown with deep flake is a very dated choice and it somehow looks fresh here.

 

[SPhilli911]

Same color as the 996 Carrera above on this page (Ocean Jade Metallic) but on a 993 Carerra 4S with very 90's style color matching wheels.

1 of 1 993 GT2 in Turquoise Green Metallic

Zenith Blue Metallic 993 Carrera S

Vesuvio Metallic Carrera 4S

A one of a kind Paint-To-Sample 993 Turbo. The color is called Pelikanblau Perleffekt.

993 is such a crazy good looking car. Best 911 ever. I own a 996 4S only because I'm poor. But one day I will get one of these.

I really like the dark blue ones. Sure it's not a "weird color" but with those orange blinker corners it's perfect. Porsche never topped this design, not even close.

This comment made me laugh (not in a rude way) because I don't even own any 911.
In fact, the 996 C4S is one of my personal favorites, so I say you are lucky to own one!

I agree the 993 is probably the best, I especially like the look of the split grill 993 Carrera S.

Yeah the prices have become totally insane though.

This is a very low mileage one though but pretty much standard driver quality 2S is now 200K USD.

Always cool to see cars painted in the colors of other manufacturers.

Such as this 964 Carrera RS America in "Ferrari Yellow" aka Giallo Fly, 1 of 4 from the factory in this color:

And of course the famous Aqua Blue Metallic Ferrari F40 (which was originally painted red of course), a Porsche color:

There is one for sale in this color near my location but sadly age and lack of maintenance (also being a stolen car that was later found and seized) means it need a full repaint

Ironically RS America was the cheapest model in the US when it was new. We all know it's not cheap anymore LOL. In the old days when Porsche stripped radio, rear seat and aircon they charged less. Now they're charging more for the stripped sporty versions. Great profit making system.

Oh yeah, I'd love to go back in time and buy up some of these special, "cheaper" 911s. Not to sell and make a profit now, but to have a fleet of hard-to-find and desirable cars in my garage.

Satin paint looked good on this Portofino

R129 SL 600 V12 in Malachite Green. Maybe not an "odd" color but it sure is rare on the SL.
