Car porn, greatest hits edition

Jalopnik has a question of the day up that’ll make a thrill go up your leg like a gearhead Chris Matthews:

• What’s the coolest race car livery of all time?

With that in mind I thought I’d post a few favourites.

I like the stark simplicity of the Toyota TF109′s launch livery: White, bold red accents, a few sponsors in blue just to break things up.

Audi’s flat black and bare carbon test “livery” is badass.  The grey logos and little yellow accents set it off perfectly.

Speaking of which, this DSR from the 2009 June Sprints looks great in a bare carbon and eye-searing yellow scheme:

Back when they launched, Virgin’s livery was, if not the best on the grid, certainly the most interesting:

Gotta love the Turbo Panzer.  So very ’70s.

I’ll finish off with Drayson Racing’s 2010 ALMS livery.

This list is by no means exhaustive.
