Let me see your Liveries and Car Photography!

A series of zooming in on badges and stuff. Now, I think if you hide the badges, you could play a game of “can you guess the car”.


An ad from the late 1920s popularised the idea of the BMW logo being a propeller, but it is actually just based on the Bavarian flag. I’m not sure why BMW would bring attention to airplanes though, they had been banned from making them after WWI.


Imagine buying a company and you decide to put your name on the logo. Not only that, but that’s what the DB stands for in Aston Martin models.


It’s not modelled in game for some reason, but the lower part should have Porsche written in it, as the RS2 was made jointly with Porsche. And if you ever wondered why 4 rings, it’s because Auto Union was four company, and the modern Audi is the continuation of it.


What it says on the tin.


If you squint you can see the Dodge triangle logo under the bumper. I don’t know why they used a triangle, triangles are pretty cool I guess.


The prancing horse was famously the symbol of WWI flying ace Franceso Baracca, that his mom asked Enzo Ferrari to use on his racecars for good luck.


More horses. Which is somewhat ironic for a pony car.


I don’t know what this red and blue logo is for, but it’s pretty nice.


Fun fact, Jaguar pioneered the use of disc brakes in racing, winning Le Mans in 1953 thanks to it.


That’s just Koenigsegg’s dad’s name.


Ferrucio Lamborghini had a fascination with bulls. Most Lamborghinis are named after bulls, including the Diablo. There are a few exceptions though.


Fun fact, this car was designed by Gandini working for Bertone, and not by Bertone.


The Lancia logo features a lance in front of a steering wheel. It’s pretty fortunate that Vincenzo Lancia’s name means lance. Imagine if he had been called Vincenzo Termometro, or Vincenzo Popemoji.


A fruitful collab.


For some reason, the logo read RE, for Rotary Experiment, even though the cars are named RX. Also note the distinct dorito shape and halogen lamps.


Fun fact, the 6.3 V8 was a 6.2, and these days it’s even a 5.5. This shrinkflation is crazy, eh? Anyways, it’s just an hommage to the 300 SEL 6.3, that actually was a 6.3.



Dat exhaust though.


At this point I’m really running out of things to say.


I guess they couldn’t have predicted the WHO would recommend the term “infection” over “disease”.

That “triangle” is called a Fratzog (Don’t ask, it was called that by a design engineer and the name stuck). That logo was used on all Dodge vehicles from 62 to 81. It is made up of the earlier Dodge arrowhead used pre 62 (see pic below). They are also bringing it back on the ECharger.

My guess is that they wanted to show the 3 divisions of Chrysler in 1 logo (Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth), hence the 3 arrow heads. Desoto was discontinued in 1961.

This is a work in progress, but what do you think?

That C8 livery looks great!

I wish I could drop the rear and lift the front more for the picture. That and whitewall tyres.

Some I didn’t download for myself. So, I’ll share them.

I believe I did post the CT4 before. A while ago I was trying to get these 4 cars competitive against each other, but the BMW just destroys the other 3…




This was the last photo I was able to take, when I got hit with the non-focus bug. Not what I wanted, but the best I could do with the focus issues.

Again, there is a lot of amazing photos in this thread. Keep it up everyone. It’s inspiring!
