Earlier this month, we promised to bring you the world's first 2017 Porsche 911 R with a wrap and here we are, bringing you the rear-engined machine is all its Matte Aluminum splendor.

We'll start by reminding you this is a first, as we're dealing with a 911 R owner who decided to go for a wrap. Having received his car covered in White and wearing Green stripes, the Zuffenhausen aficionado decided his clutch-gifted Neunelfer should be uber-special.
The man turned to German specialist Print Tech Premium Wrapping, which gave the Neunelfer a Matte Aluminum second skin. Remember, we're talking about a special edition that will only see Zuffenhausen gifting the world with 991 units, so, despite the wrap job being reversible, the decision was quite a bold one. Come to think of it, we can only applaud this guy for doing the opposite of speculators who buy such models to make easy money.
The R-signaling stripes are back. In fact, they're... Back In Black. The 911 R might not pack any obvious aerodynamic elements (the rear diffuser is hidden well enough), but while it doesn't have a splitter, these stripes act as a major opinion splitter, even among Porsche fans. So the possibility of the stripes being left out was real.
Then again, had the owner chose this path, this 911 would've had a hard time speaking its R language. Heck, even with the stripes, the 500 hp Porsche now looks like the four-wheeled definition of understatement.
Then again, when such a car belongs to the Van Berghe GmbH racing team, who knows a thing or two about motorsport activities involving Zuffenhausen vehicles, there's no need to scream out the performance. Relaxed flat-out moments will do just fine - check out the decals on the car and you'll understand its motorsport-linked identity.

Now, about those stripes adroning the mechanical beast
