Porsche is synonymous with sports cars, and for a good reason. But there are some who might not know that the 911 has a long and storied history of participating in the rally racing circuit, dating back to the 1970s. History and legacy are very important to Porsche enthusiasts, and our manufacturing partner is really leaning into that with a series of wraps for the Porsche 911. There are three Porsche 911 wraps available that honour this off-road racing heritage. Follow along with Mark Motors Porsche while we take a closer look at what is available.
Just because a wrap is simple, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of history behind the design. The Rallye 1971 wrap uses high-contrast and refined black graphics to honour drivers Sobiesław Zasada and Marian Bień, who took fifth during the 1971 race. The number 19 placed on the car’s doors is a reference to the most successful 911 model that took part in the Dakar race.
The East African Safari Rally took place in 1974, featuring stages as long as 2,000 km. Björn Waldegård and Hans Thorszelius piloted a 911 Carrera 2.7 RS. Mark Motors Porsche customers interested in this wrap option will see the same number 19 on the doors, but there are also a few exclusive elements, including blue stripes tracing the shoulders and a different Porsche logo across the bottom of the doors.
Waldegård gets a second nod among the historic 911 wraps being offered by our manufacturing partner. The Rallye 1978 wrap commemorates a later East African race. Buyers choosing this option will get:
-
Orange and grey wave elements
-
No. 14 on the doors
-
White base colour
These wraps are only available through authorized Porsche dealerships, like Mark Motors Porsche. If one of these would look good in your garage, make an appointment with one of our product experts, today.
