Mercedes SLS AMG: blue sky thinking

I know this is one of the nicest looking Mercs ever invented but to be honest they could put the blue and orange Gulf colour scheme on a Kia and it would still look cool. Probably. They have already done it on a Tata Nano.

That said, this livery is only ever usually found on the most drool-worthy of motors. There is of course Steve McQueen's legendary Gulf Porsche which set the whole thing off in the film Le Mans, and since then we've seen a Ford GT40 various Lotus models, an Audi R8, Porsche Turbo, and an Aston Martin DBR9.

So this should feel quite at home with that lot.
