If anyone did that to my brand spanking GT2RS I'd have them staked out naked over an ants nest. But it's unlikely to come to that- I can't afford one....

Its a fantastic homage to historic 70's racing Porsches..I've always loved Martini livery on 991s ever since i had one on my Scaletrix set back in the 70s..The fact its all painted, and not wrapped is especially impressive and will always remain unique..
Well at least until i do exactly the same on my next RS which will devalue Mark's by at least 200K..Just as well he's not a flipper..!
I love the subtle Scottish theme on the rear wing endplates , and i dare say will look even better with the Welsh dragon instead..
Now there's a thought..!
If i make this years Silverstone classic, i'll see you down in the pits and hopefully scrounge a lap or two..

Without doubt, hands-down, the Martini sponsored cars - not just Porsche, but BMW and Lancia and others - are the single best sponsor colour scheme, bar none.

My current car is white and the Martini livery was a strong contender when I got my graphics done, but although Mrs Digga likes the colours - looks superb on current Williams F1 for example - she was adamant in saying "you do not want to advertise Martini, do you?" Sometimes you know when questions are not actually questions. I did think of replying that Holden's Brewery, Dudley have never sponsored Porsche racing cars, but decided against it.

Your other half makes a good point. As a rule I also share it - but this is so beautifuuly done. I see it as art.

On the subject of advertising. I wonder how Motorola feel about the lycra whale that cycles past my house. I cant see him doing much for the brand... One day i'm going to buy a harpoon

Then your wife has impeccable taste Digs wink

I apologise in advance for being the sole dissenter on this thread, but I think the OP's car looks bloody awful. It's not as if a GT2 RS is exactly discrete at the best of times, but plastering Martini livery screams "trying too hard" I'm afraid.

The Martini livery should be utilised solely on competition cars :

Yes


Yes



Yes



Yes



Yes



Just no nono



As for repainting an R in your colour of choice OP, fair play to you smile

She erred once, to my knowledge...



...We have the wedding photos and marriage certificate to prove it.

More rich people should do this, I applaud any and every one who creates this sort of artwork clap

Now, if an extrememly rich person is reading this, please can you buy a Porsche 959 and make a Safari version and then paint it in the Rothmans colours like the Paris-Dakar beast thumbup




The world will thank you biggrin

thumbup caught it before, but loved watching a snippet again. What an engine. I wish I could understand enough Italian to follow what Limone says in the following video about the V6 2.5 ti engine.

I saw a 918 in the process of being painted in this livery at Reading a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty sure that was my car, not a 918. It was in same area as 918s and CGTs being reassembled.

Ah ok, my mistake. It must have been your car then! It was near a silver Carrera GT that was up on a lift having some work done. Looks great btw!
