Porsche had a version designated "Creamsicle" back in the '70's. Worth some bucks now if you can find one.
Mostly if it's the 914-6
They're not that hard to find, just bring a healthy checkbook.

Wasn't aware they made a Creamsicle 914-6, but I did see an "original" 914-6 sell for 44k on ebay a few weeks ago.
There are a few more on there now; one that looks pretty good for $30K
I didn't create those images, but rather found them online a long while back.

Until I enlarged them (and read Ari's comments), something about them reminded me of some of AriLea's earlier renditions. Nice find! And kudos to the artist's creativity.

Wheew!! I was about to get in my Elio and go home....
My brother had a 914 which he converted to a -6, but then he got an actual 914-6, and even picked up a 911..(the short story).. then Microsoft laid him off... then a number of years later a divorce. There isn't a Porsche in existence that can survive all that... :-(
I cherish a car I can afford, much more than one I can't ... just say'in ..:-) ( I want my Elio )

OH, about the color of the third Elio I reserved.
I'm trying to get financially set so that it becomes the donor for parts to build my Atlantric. It will be pretty much a drop-on-top build. So the Elio body will not survive the conversion. In that way the chassis and vin# will remain. Which removes my licensing issues.
So the color will be more like what I show on my facebook project page https://www.facebook.com/ArakLea click photos, scroll down to the Peacock Blue image. I'd want it to be as close to Tesla Electric Blue as possible. So imagine the Atlantric in this color (below).
This kind of metallic blue makes shapes more visible. Atlantric has some very nice organic shapes to show off.
If it works out well, I'll produce an Elio upgrade kit(massive upgrade). Once I get my first Elio, I can better plan all the details.
Then there is the Elio Super-mod. I want to do that project too. But life needs to be taken one step at a time.
