While surely not a mainstream choice, there's no shortage of private sports cars dressed in the historic, characteristic orange and blue colors of Gulf Oil. Needless to say, the two-tone paintjob looks awesome on some cars and not so much on others.
In the video after the jump, you'll see a very rare Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG DTM sporting the iconic hues. Check it out and tell us what you think in the comments.
We'll remind you that Mercedes built only around 100 examples of the special edition CLK coupe, which was themed after the racing model that participated in the DTM and featured a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 pushing out 582 ponies for a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of just 3.8 seconds.
Hat tip goes to Adam!

Frankenstein edition.
Preliminary question: Are you sure that is not a regular CLK with an aftermarket kit? (although that does sound like a v8...).
Second question: who would do such a thing to such a fine automobile??!
1Q: Anything is possible, but it does look and sound like the real thing
