Default Worst color combinations?

I was browsing Ebay looking at shit I can't afford (as we all do) and ran across this 911 Turbo. Probably one of the ugliest color combinations I've ever seen.

Another one that comes to mind - this could easily be seen as offensive but I am in LOVE:



Any examples of horrible/oddly good color combos?

I rather like the color combo of that Porsche. "There's an a** for every seat" they say in the auto business.

I haven't been able to find an image of it since Google localized its search results, but an Imola S with red interior is surprisingly good looking.

On the other hand,

This is the worst color ever put on a car. It doesn't matter what the inside is. When I worked at enterprise we had a few of these in this color and they were almost unrentable. The mexican gardeners that were out working in the 120 degree heat pointed at this thing and laughed at it.

I would take that porche if it was pink with yellow interior. I think it would look better with the darker brown leather but its not horrible. The BMW is gross.

Another porche that comes to mind.

Z3 M Coupe "Evergreen":



The blue ones are no picnic either.

Hell, even in red, the two-tone pattern pretty much murder on the eyes.

That Porsche interior picture is poorly color-balanced. In person, it's actually a nice caramel/camel-colored interior. Quite classy, in my opinion.

The all-white exterior, however, is very ugly. There's a reason that grills and vents are black, namely, to reduce the visual impact and keep the car looking sleek and uncluttered. Having white grill components looks horrible.
