It appears that every race car with the iconic Martini Racing liveries will become art on wheels. Now, we can include a special limited edition Porsche 911 Martini Racing Edition in the list of beautiful machines that carries the famous red and blue stripes.
To celebrate Porsche’s return to Le Mans this year, the German firm has unveiled this special edition Porsche 911 Martini Racing Edition. It’s based on the 911 Carrera S with an iconic Martini Racing liveries, to pay homage to Porsche’s past successful race cars in Le Mans, the 917 and 935.
However, the changes are fully cosmetic with bold Martini graphics in blue and red on the bonnet, roof and rear wing, while ‘Aerokit Cup’ bodykit are added as well. This limited edition model is available in the monochrome body colours white and black.
When entering the car, the stainless steel door sill panels with the red illuminated “911 Carrera S – Martini Racing Edition” badge already identify this car as an exclusive limited edition. The interior package includes dashboard accents in body colour with the “Martini Racing Edition” badge. The Martini Porsche also has a sport design steering wheel and the Sport Chrono package as standard. The extensive standard equipment is complemented by such features as Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module, a Bose sound system, tachometer with black gauge dial and all-electric sport seats in black leather.
The similar 394bhp 3.8-litre flat-6 engine that powers the standard Carrera S is retained as well. Only 80 units will be available and it costs a cool £102,862 in the UK, an additional £19,000 premium over the base Carrera S. If you can’t afford this limited edition model or you already have a Carrera in your garage, you can still get the Martini decal kit from Porsche’s Tequipment extra service.
