Yahoo Autos Porsche Now Offering Sweet Vintage Racing Liveries, Funky Colors via Body Wraps
Porsche is behind a new vehicle-wrapping company called SecondSkin.
The company offers vehicle wraps based on classic Porsche racing liveries, as well as full-body wraps in Porsche Exclusive colors.
The racing liveries are limited to the Porsche 911, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman, while the Porsche colors can be applied to any vehicle.
Owners of late-model Porsche 911s, 718 Boxsters, and 718 Caymans, rejoice: You now can order up a sweet stick-on vinyl racing livery inspired by Porsche race cars of yore. You'll need two things: to live in or be able to send a car to Europe (at least for now), and between $4500 and $6800 to give to SecondSkin, a car-wrapping firm started by Porsche.
According to SecondSkin, anyone can bring a car-Porsche or otherwise-to them for a wrap, but the company's online configurator only shows the classic racing liveries as being available for the current- and previous-generation 911 as well as the aforementioned 718 Boxster and Cayman models. Those racing liveries include the familiar orange-over-blue Gulf theme; the red-and-white 917 Salzburg theme; and the iconic red, white, and blue Martini Racing getup. Would-be customers can fiddle with these, swapping in different colors while keeping the same basic stripe design.
Those with other cars can indulge in a full-body wrap in one of 25 colors drawn from the Porsche Exclusive color palette for their ride (so, too, can those 911 and 718 owners). We've reached out to SecondSkin to see whether their services might spread to the U.S., because we desperately want them to. In the meantime, have fun using the SecondSkin configurator to design and visualize the retro-fab Porsche of your dreams.
