Porsche hasn’t won the Le Mans 24 Hours race outright since the 911 GT1-98 was victorious in 1998. This year could see the new 919 Hybrid LMP1 repeating the feat though, so to mark the occasion a special 911 Carrera S has been launched.
Called the Martini Racing Edition, it comes with a choice of white or black paintwork and a distinctive livery inspired by the 917 and 935 Martini-sponsored racers of the 1970s. While the blue and red stripes work really well, the overall effect is somewhat spoiled by an oversize Martini bonnet logo.

Other unique features include a special dashboard badge and a pair of illuminated stainless steel doorsill kick plates. Also fitted are the Sport Chrono and Aerokit Cup packages (the latter consisting of an extended front spoiler lip and a fixed rear wing), a Bose audio system, electric sports seats and black leather upholstery.
With no power increase, the 911’s 3.8 litre six-cylinder engine continues to produce 394 bhp (294 kW / 400 PS). Nevertheless, performance isn’t lacking. Even the standard seven-speed manual gearbox allows for a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 4.5 seconds and a 188 mph (304 km/h) top speed.

Production of the 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition is being limited to 80 units, which will be offered in Europe, Japan, Latin America and China. Deliveries are due to begin later this month.
