It’s a nod to the past with the return of an iconic livery. As Porsche’s development programme on its 918 Spyder continues, the company has decided to mix it up a little and give the car a new dress, in the striking form of Martini Racing colours.
The latest test vehicle is now turning laps in the getup scheme that graced many a historic Porsche race car, especially those from the 1970s, when Martini was the official partner of the Porsche factory team between 1973 and 1978. Implemented in a wide variety of forms, the memorable Martini Racing design was a familiar sight during that era.
Now, Porsche has signed an agreement with Bacardi, the folk behind Martini, to make a new edition of the livery available exclusively to the 918 Spyder. With the 770 hp hybrid continuing to undergo driving trials at the Nurburgring, those puttering about the 20.8 km-long Nordschleife should be well able to catch the new ‘un parading the blast from the past.

It must be Volkswagen decision for Porsche to come out with this kind of Ferrari design Porsche.
It is a compliment anyway.
918 is the successor of the 917 from 1968:
