“Working with Rob was an exceptional experience from end to end. He took a very challenging brief: Arctic Grey gloss paint, yellow calipers, and existing Manthey Racing badging and turned it into a bespoke livery that looks like it always belonged on the vehicle. The design is distinctive without being loud, refined without being boring, and perfectly complements the GT3’s lines and OEM character.

Rob was communicative, thoughtful, and highly creative throughout the process including his communication with the PPF and vinyl installer. Every detail felt considered, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Powell Livery Design to anyone looking for a truly bespoke Porsche livery."

“We contacted Rob Powell to create a unique Rothmans livery for my one-of-a-kind Porsche 962 EVO. Rob produced several design concepts before we settled on the final version.

He then traveled to Norway to personally oversee the installation of the livery and shared the unique story behind its design.

We would like to thank Rob for his valuable input and for creating such an outstanding and distinctive design.

Working with Rob was a pleasure from start to finish. He was professional, creative, and genuinely enjoyable to collaborate with throughout the entire process.

We highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a truly exceptional motorsport livery design.”

"Rob has now completed the design work on two of our cars, and we couldn't be more pleased.

For our Porsche 964 Carrera Cup France, he recreated an incredibly intricate and challenging original livery, based on a selection of period photographs from the 2002 season, bringing the car back to its former glory."

“For our 991.1 cup he incorporated his famous Rothmans design with our unique farm activities and made it a very special tribute to our family business. We have been overwhelmed by the response in the paddock when we take these cars to the racetrack. Many people stop to discuss the designs and when they hear that it was done by Rob Powell it adds yet another level of interest.

Most will remember that he was the genius behind many of the most iconic and memorable Porsche factory race car liveries and I would insist that having him do your livery will certainly add fun and value to car.

We are very glad to have met him and would highly recommend his services. Obviously we are big fans !”

““Rob Powell has done a fantastic job on my GT4. His hands-on craftsmanship and ability to adapt the wrap perfectly to the shape and lines of the car were especially impressive. If you’re looking for someone with extensive experience who is genuinely hands-on, not just a designer working behind a computer screen, Rob is the man for the job.”

Featured Interview - Porsche Club Great Britain

In the July 2025 issue of Porsche Post, automotive journalist Adam Towler explored Robert Powell's career, tracing his journey from the Porsche Design Studio at Weissach to becoming the designer behind some of Porsche's most recognisable factory race car liveries.

The feature follows Rob's twelve years at Porsche, from his early work on interiors and concept projects through to the Essex 936, Rothmans 956, Paris-Dakar programmes and the celebrated Shell/Dunlop 962C. Along the way, Towler highlights the craftsmanship, attention to detail and collaborative design culture that shaped Rob's approach to vehicle graphics.

The twelve page article also reflects on how those experiences continue to influence Powell Livery Design today. Whether creating historically accurate restorations or original contemporary liveries, the same factory design discipline, research and respect for Porsche's motorsport heritage remain at the heart of every project.
