We've shown you so many shades of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, be they Porsche Exclusive factory efforts or uber-savage wraps, that we lost count of them. And we almost forgot how important it is to keep the 918 Spyder in the spotlights.
There's no reason to fret, though, we're here to give the Zuffenhausen halo car its proper coverage and, for now, we plan to do this with the help of the example in the images below.

This gas-electric Porsche brings a new take on the classic Martini Livery by using a Grayscale approach. And, before moving further into the story, we have to applaud the quality of the wrap job.

This second skin-friendly 918 was caught on camera in Stuttgart, so the background of the pics will also give you a taste of Porsche's home town - lens tip to Autogespot for the images.

The first effect of the gray play seems to be the timeless appearance of the velocity monster. Wrap fashion trends come and go - for instance, Chrome Purple supercars might be the thing nowadays, but don't expect this to last forever. Well, we can't see any reason for which this Porsche's appearance would be just as cool in one or two decades from now. Sure, the wrap would need to be redone, but that's an obvious requirement when you take your car down such a customization route.

Then there's the originality of the visual adventure. With so many Zuffenhausen machines going for the Martini approach, it's difficult to come up with something different, but this 918 achieves that goal.

And since we mentioned the future above, we'll remind you the digital world has recently gifted us with a phenomenal rendering showing how a 918 Spyder successor could look like. For those of you who missed it, the pixel contraption, which obviously borrows Mission E styling cues, can be found here.
