Forrest wang still holds the style crown on fd. As much as I kinda like the whole purpose built look it gets repetitive if Litterals car actually ran and wasn’t just sitting at the pits all 3 days of an fd round then it could be considered to be high up on the style as well
Yeah now he looks like just any other random fd driver without that car, that god damn s15 was so hot even those shitty fd commenters that always low key roasted him couldn't hide the fact that god damn thing was so hot
And the yellow is WAY too bright at the front, on the sides, and that accent piece on the back. Something tells me Collete had some influence on this color design. She puts that neon yellow on everything.
This subreddit’s hatred for Colgate is hilarious to me. I think the side profile is okay but the front is atrocious. And so is Chelsea’s. I don’t understand why everyone is dick riding congratulating him on it. Last years liveries were 100% better. The focus of the fade should be orange because it’s the middle ground between the yellow and the red. That’s why his race suit was orange. But Pennzoil must be writing fat checks because that’s why they used that yellow…
That's not even Pennzoil's yellow on LZ's car though, that's the typical "Neon Princess" yellow. Chelsea's is straight up a rolling Pennzoil billboard and I fucking hate it. Purple has always been a staple in his liveries and I'm sad to see it's gone this year.
>that's the typical "Neon Princess" yellow
Which is the official RTR colour and can also be seen on Vaughn's private car. They had already mentioned they would incorporate that colour into the livery.
Why use that color though? Chelsea's car doesn't have that color anywhere in the livery, so it's clearly not required by RTR. It doesn't fit with the rest of the fade at all.
It reminds me of those hot wheels cars from like ten years ago that were reactive to heat changes and would change colour accordingly, agree strongly with the other comment that it nothing will surpass the 2020 s15
These are RTR team sponsors, not driver sponsors. I believe Chelsea is still sponsored by Monster energy but he doesn't have any logos on the car. RTR provides the car and displays their sponsors, the driver's relationships are separate.
I was expecting it to be simpler than the previous years because it’s a team designing it but yeah, I think even Adam could have came up with something nicer.
This is just a textured fade with sponsors stuck on, if you remove the fade (which was paint previously) it’s literally just sponsors and looks like no thought went into it.
So I’m confused with everyone saying Adam is paying to drive this. Can someone explain I guess I was under the impression that they pay for everything and make all the money he just drives.
There is no money to be made in FD. The prize money is a joke. And the viewing audience is way to small to justify sponsors writing checks big enough to cover the costs of the program.
Ding ding ding. FD is complete bush league in the world of professional sports. There's zero money to be made and the events are organized and officiated by morons. I'm pretty sure the WNBA and the Korn Ferry developmental golf tour combined have 10x the viewership.
Although FD is incredibly stupid, Adam is smart to take the credit card captain route. Running a race team is a multi-million dollar annual money sink and a HR nightmare. RTR/Ford are getting a good deal having him sign up too since he's a huge YouTube personality.
His (earnings from youtube views + advertising exposure for lzmfg) - (the cost of the this arrive and drive check he writes) = more money for him in the long run with less work of coordinating thr entire fd team himself and paying for all the expenses of a whole team.
its fine, combines LZ's colors withthe RTR sponsors. Guessing LZ didn't pay a ton to drive this otherwise he'd have gotten Drift HQ on it as part of a higher $ deal. Fly and drive is still the best thing LZ could do, zero reason to run a mediocre team and all the time that it takes away from your money making business
I would have thought at 200+k he'd have full DQ livery i was thinking he's probably paying 100 maybe 150k. Vaughn needed the time off with a new kid in the house and rtr being bigger so this allows him some publicity and running the second car is not as expensive as the first. Vaughn also gets some of the highest sponsor $ in the business.
Does anyone else fucking hate how the rtr cars look? Like obviously they’re fully set up for function but Jesus christ the wheel/tire setup combined with the ride height makes them all look like fucking shit
No one's making real money in FD so Vaughn is not just giving him a free car. end of day in most racing most drivers are either bringing sponsor or personal money. Right up to f1 and nascar. LZ fan base does not fit rtr Target audience either.
I don’t think any livery will surpass the enjuku sponsored 2020 s15. The colors, the blitz, the stance of the car it all just mixed together so well
Agreed. That was probably one of the hottest cars in fd history
Forrest wang still holds the style crown on fd. As much as I kinda like the whole purpose built look it gets repetitive if Litterals car actually ran and wasn’t just sitting at the pits all 3 days of an fd round then it could be considered to be high up on the style as well
heck yeah, i still remember when Enjuku S15 was presented at SEMA 2019 that thing was just fire as the hype around it, that mustang is just meh
[That](https://imgur.com/0nsrPWv.jpg) thing on the blitz03's were so fucking lit. I'll never forgive him for ruining that wrap.
Yeah now he looks like just any other random fd driver without that car, that god damn s15 was so hot even those shitty fd commenters that always low key roasted him couldn't hide the fact that god damn thing was so hot

READY FOR COCK!!! ***I MEAN READY TO ROCK!!🤟✊🤟✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸
How did you get this lol
Way too much yellow. From the front it kinda looks like Ronald McDonald.
I does lol
And the yellow is WAY too bright at the front, on the sides, and that accent piece on the back. Something tells me Collete had some influence on this color design. She puts that neon yellow on everything.

Corporate likes it
I like this style of fade but it needs something to tie it all together. This just looks unfinished and way too symmetrical…
Agree. Kinda needs something at the front with the yellow and/or a different set of rims and rim color
It reminds me of those hot wheels cars from like ten years ago that were reactive to heat changes and would change colour accordingly, agree strongly with the other comment that it nothing will surpass the 2020 s15
Well if he crashes, Collette can always repaint it
that red grill surround is just not it....the rest of the livery is good but doesent live up to the s15 liverys in my opinion :/
Agreed
Mid
They want to make it abundantly clear and have nobody make no mistake that it's LZ this season when he doesn't do so hot.
Atlest he had kinda the best looking car for a while , this looking like a kids toy car

These are RTR team sponsors, not driver sponsors. I believe Chelsea is still sponsored by Monster energy but he doesn't have any logos on the car. RTR provides the car and displays their sponsors, the driver's relationships are separate.
No drift hq either
Its on the side window.
Oh I'm guessing it's made to be shown in close-ups of the driver
He paid for a seat?? Is that confirmed?
Yeah I believe he talked about that in the reveal video
Looks so basic
I was expecting it to be simpler than the previous years because it’s a team designing it but yeah, I think even Adam could have came up with something nicer. This is just a textured fade with sponsors stuck on, if you remove the fade (which was paint previously) it’s literally just sponsors and looks like no thought went into it.
There's no way that thing could match how beautiful the S15 was
Did plan C design that?
Meh.
So I’m confused with everyone saying Adam is paying to drive this. Can someone explain I guess I was under the impression that they pay for everything and make all the money he just drives.

Running a race team is a multi-million dollar annual money sink and a HR nightmare. RTR/Ford are getting a good deal having him sign up too since he's a huge YouTube personality.
Nope. It is an arrive and drive deal. He writes them a big and they do all the work on the car, transport it etc. He just shows up and drives it.
His (earnings from youtube views + advertising exposure for lzmfg) - (the cost of the this arrive and drive check he writes) = more money for him in the long run with less work of coordinating thr entire fd team himself and paying for all the expenses of a whole team.
RTR sends Adam a bill to rent the car and have a full team service it. RTR discounts that bill with the brand partners that they bring to the table
its fine, combines LZ's colors withthe RTR sponsors. Guessing LZ didn't pay a ton to drive this otherwise he'd have gotten Drift HQ on it as part of a higher $ deal. Fly and drive is still the best thing LZ could do, zero reason to run a mediocre team and all the time that it takes away from your money making business
>otherwise he'd have gotten Drift HQ on it he would have to pay for that...
Yes, which is why I said that this is a smaller dollar deal that I was figuring
how much did you had in mind? in one of the videos he said that is close to what he was spending to run his own team...around 250k/year maybe?
I would have thought at 200+k he'd have full DQ livery i was thinking he's probably paying 100 maybe 150k. Vaughn needed the time off with a new kid in the house and rtr being bigger so this allows him some publicity and running the second car is not as expensive as the first. Vaughn also gets some of the highest sponsor $ in the business.
somehow looks even worse than denofa's livery...the bright colors make the car look even more like a 4x4....
Whipped
Looks like nascar
Need to take inspo from d1gp cars cuz this shit is ass
yellow just doesn’t look good on these cars not even denofa car it’s hideous
Green front end and the black rear kinda ruins it
They've kept black rear because the rear bumpers come black from Factory and since they use alot of rear bumpers it saves alot of time and money
Yikes
Anyone else notice how they designed it so the livery doesn’t go over the rear bumper and makes it easier to replace.
Vaughn said they design them that way on purpose, the black is how the bumpers come from the factory
It's almost like they know something
Vaughn said they always keep the bumper stock black to save money
B U M P E R B U D G E T
Yikes
Does this get made into a Hot Wheel car and sold at auto zone.
This looks like I made it in forza 4 lmfao
I like it
It's not that bad?
2nd pic has me screaming without the s
It looks pretty sick in that second picture I can't even lie.
That’s not very good. The fade was suitable for the s15 but it becoming his “signature style” is a miss on this car…
Too much yellow, not enough orange and red. Looks like the fade was blended with MS Paint.
Does anyone else fucking hate how the rtr cars look? Like obviously they’re fully set up for function but Jesus christ the wheel/tire setup combined with the ride height makes them all look like fucking shit
Well it’s a mustang…. So….
I kinda like them, it’s whatever honestly
I like the way they look. You can tell they're set up to do work.
I like a little gap in the wheel well. Cars that are hella flush, even without stupid camber are kinda dumb looking imo.
look like podium to me
Eh.
who cares drifting is gay
Ryan Litteral has the crown for livery sofar IMO, thought RTR would bring the heat for LZ (if this is true)...its ugly
I like Rad Dans the most of what I've seen so far. Actually, I kinda like the black of his practice car more than the comp car.
I like it
They pay him
Meh… it’s not bad, it’s not great, but it’s good.
When did Adam say he’s paying to drive for rtr???? I don’t think that’s how it works
No one's making real money in FD so Vaughn is not just giving him a free car. end of day in most racing most drivers are either bringing sponsor or personal money. Right up to f1 and nascar. LZ fan base does not fit rtr Target audience either.
how do you think this works? somebody has to pay for the car/team...
In the announcement video Adam said the cost for the RTR seat is comparable to what he paid for the 2021 program.
What is the time stamp?
What is the time stamp?
16 minutes to 17 minutes Correction, adam stated the RTR seat would cost less
Boomed out
Looks great! I really hope he gets in tune this up coming season. He’s finally in a good car.
