From Ford and Lancia rally machines to Williams F1
cars, the iconic Martini Racing livery has adorned a wide variety of metal (and
carbon) over the years. But few have been as inexorably tied to those blue and
red stripes as Porsche has. The German automaker has even been known to deck
out some of its road cars in those stripes. But now it’s offering them as a
decal pack for “ordinary” 911s, straight from the factory.
The package includes stripes that run up the hood,
across the roof, and down the rear deck. Another set adorns the side sills. And
it includes a big logo on the frunk lid. The result is a classic yet racy look
that may not be for everyone, but it could be just the ticket for some.
The Martini Racing Design decal set is offered from
the Porsche Tequipment catalog. And it can be ordered for a wide variety of 911
variants. Included among them are the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, Carrera
4S, Carrera GTS, and Carrera 4 GTS. A similar option is offered for the GT3 and
GT3 RS – but not for Turbo and GT2 models. The option is only for solid-roof
coupes. So don’t go asking for it with your Targa, Cabriolet, or even a coupe
with a sunroof.
We don’t know if the graphics package can be applied
to any body color. The most obvious canvas would be a white car. But
history has shown us that it can work pretty well on silver bodywork, too.
