Porsche 918 Spied in Martini Livery

By Marcus Slater - July 18, 2012

Oh my. Martini’s racing livery was spotted on the 918 Spider as it made an appearance on the Nurburgring earlier this week. This is another homage to the liveries on it’s predecessor, the 917. The lines are perfect even if they’re desaturated. I imagine they’re black and white because the car is still a prototype. Regardless, this looks like it’s ready to race.

Porsche seems to be on a nostalgia kick with the 918. When they debuted the car in May it was wearing a different arrangement of black and white. We’re likely seeing a trend here and if they’ve got Martini on their car this time, we can probably expect the Gulf colors to show up next. Secretly though? I wish they’d dress it up like the Pink Pig. One can dream…
