My most favourite car in all the world, but I never considered the livery to be particularly notable. I suppose the test would be to see the livery without seeing the car.. if you can name the car/team by seeing only the paintwork design, then it's a win.
Ok, no, it's not based on a Supra Mk3, It's clearly based on a Starion, bar the backlights, which are extremely similar to the back of a Mk3 Supra. The only thing a Mk3 Supra and an XRT have in common, is their arse and pop up lights.
the Back meaning, the tail light section on the Supra, compared with teh XRT are basically the same.. That's it. Just cos it's japanese and has popup lights.. It looks nothing like an XRT, the XRT is short and stubby, the Supra Mk3 is slim and long.
It accumulated sponsors throughout the year. That paint job would have looked terrible on any car other than the Integra (imagine it on a 320si!), but it just sort of works on it. Then he went for an Alfa, which was even slower and was in red.
