When a pair of Porsche 963 race cars hit Laguna Seca this weekend, they’ll be wearing a special Apple Computer livery. The retro look pays homage to the livery worn by the customer-owned Porsche 935 K3 from 1980, which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And it is absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n

The one-time livery design also celebrates two 2026 milestones: Porsche\u2019s 75th anniversary<\/a> and 50 years since Apple\u2019s founding. Apple\u2019s iconic and colorful logo is on the roof, with the company\u2019s bold colors accenting the fenders, hood, bumper, and fin. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The two Porsche 963s<\/a> will race on May 3 in the fourth round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, competing in the GTP class. Apple\u2019s vice president of Apple Music, Sport, and Beats, said: \u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Porsche, going back to 1980 when a Porsche race car first carried the Apple logo. That moment marked the beginning of a shared passion for innovation and creativity that continues to define our collaboration today. As Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, we\u2019re proud to once again partner with Porsche on a design that pays tribute to that original 1980 livery.’<\/p>\n

Motor\u2019s Take: Apple\u2019s colorful logo might not be as iconic as other liveries, but it looks stellar against the 963\u2019s white body and black accents. While Porsche says this is a one-time design, we hope the pair collaborate again in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
