We’ve seen a lot of cars wearing Martini racing stripes, but few of them look quite as fitting as this Porsche Cayman GT4.
Having won Le Mans three times in the 1970s with the Martini Racing Team – and slapped the livery on an array of sports cars over the course of the decades since – Porsche holds at least as much claim to the livery as do Lancia, Ford, or even Williams. It’s about time, then, that the Cayman GT4 – close as it is to racing spec – gets the treatment, and fortunately the folks at Generator Design answered the call.
The Windsor, Ontario-based design firm applied the stripes and logo to the white bodywork in classic style, and even threw in a dark grey stripe to go with the red, navy and blue to give it a bit more of a modern touch. And that number 22, in case you were wondering, just so happens to be the same number that adorned the 917K in which Gijs van Lennep and Helmut Marko (now head of Red Bull’s racing program) won the 24 Hours in ’71.
We think the result looks pretty outstanding, to the point that we can’t help but wonder why Weissach doesn’t offer it as an option direct from the factory. We guess this one wouldn’t be special then, now would it?
