Webber is currently at the Nürburgring for the latest round of the 2015 World Endurance Championship, in which he is driving for the Porsche factory team. But prior to heading out to the ‘Ring, he stopped by Porsche headquarters to pick up his new car.

It’s fitted with the 918’s available Weissach package, naturally. This trims weight and enhances the aerodynamics to enable the car to produce even quicker laps.

Some personal touches, meanwhile, include a red and white livery that mimics the design used on the number 17 Porsche 919 Hybrid race car Webber is driving this season together with Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley.
