Porsche will contest Laguna Seca in historic colors of the Apple Computer livery

apple should go back to their classic logo

minimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality.

People want personality back:

Physical media is making a comeback too (including books)

The colors look beautiful on the car. Hopefully a Ternus-lead Apple will find the courage to adorn the Macbook Pro line with six colors.

I would bet there's so much pent up demand for properly colored macbooks. What's the argument against it – SKU explosion?

Ah, they just today did Formula E in a Pink Pig livery (https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/1062899) but I think the Apple livery might have been more apt.

iirc the apple color porshes were kremer k935s?

i was actually at laguna for this: https://sportscardigest.com/le-mans-winning-porsche-935-k3-s...

Apple itself sells some classic logo merch at the Apple Park Visitor Center Apple Store in Cupertino.

Worth a visit, in my opinion. ;-)

Damn, just when we of the emulator and vintage stuff scene thought we were safe using the old colors as they hadn't any relevance anymore, booom, it suddenly becomes trendy again.

It's not a 'greige' (grey-beige) paint job tho so it doesn't look very good. The rainbow apple logo needs the greige to foreground its vibrancy. White is too loud, and drowns out the pop.

Neat. Porsche releases different gear from time to time based on classic liveries. An espresso cup wearing this livery would be nice.

For example, here's what's left of the martini racing collection: https://shop.porsche.com/us/en-US/c/collections?hierarchical...

Whoever designed the modern version of it, did an awesome job. Modern porsches (past 2000) have gotten a bit too boring, and it needs to be bring some more color in their line up.

Here's Porsche really at its best, on the Nurburgring's Nordschleiffe in 2018, which is arguably the most complicated and diverse track on the planet doing a cool 5m19s (in 2024 a Mercedes AMG GT One was a full 1min10s slower, for example):

Any car lover who doesn't know that vid can safely watch it.

This is a strange sounding title. It sounds like Porsche was fighting against Apple’s colors in Laguna Seca, when instead they’ll be used on Porsche cars.

Was this sanctioned by Apple??

Only HN could find something negative to say about a wrap on a car. The internet is a remarkable place.

This is a nothing burger of a story.
