The origin of the Porsche 911 GT3 Rawr, IMSA’s wildest livery

According to recent paleontological studies, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not a fast creature, with a maximum running speed potentially as slow as 10 m.p.h. Rexy, the current points leader in IMSA’s GTD Pro field, is much much quicker. 

Rexy, bright green, with a toothy grill for a mouth and teensy arms on the door panels, is a Porsche 911 GT3 R—or, as he’s affectionately called, a 911 GT3 Rawr. He’s joined by a Barbie-fied twin sister named Roxy and a purple dragon LMP2 car that goes by Spike — and all three standout liveries together make up the AO Racing team. For obvious reasons, the reptilian trio has made an indelible impression on the paddock and its fans over the past two years. And their story begins with a cartoonish helmet design and some friendly competition with a unicorn named Sparklefarts.
