As I understand it a Martini is an alcoholic beverage made up of one part gin and one part dry vermouth. Also, an Italian painter; a leading representative of Sienese school. Finally, a Porsche 924 with stickers and cheesy interior.

(This will really make some Martini owners grumpy)

Make a mental image of the music from the mid 70's, that porno bass driven, Shaft the movie, kinda of sound. Bell bottoms, cola in bottles, silk shirts and gold chains, OJ Simpson before the murders,oil came in metal cans and they had full service gas stations, oh don't forget Steve Mcqeen was the hottest action star and Star Wars was cutting edge for special effects.

Excuse me but the Martini was flashy for the time, remember how everything in the 70's was cheesy, err I mean flashy. It does have a cool bronze plaque though, which I would love to make into a paperweight.

Oh don't forget the psychedelic checker interiors, or the lime green or passion purple paints. Starsky and Hutch should have drove a Martini, they would have been a whole lot cooler!

Nothing has changed, have you ever seen a 911 twin turbo with navy blue leather and saftey yellow piping and stitching, yellow gauge faces and yellow calipers

They have to be driving something other than a 944 or a Martini 924 to catch me. I've clocked 140 on my 81 931 and I still had plenty of tach to spare. For those who wonder how I knew I was doing 140, the passenger timed the mile markers on a toll road between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Now I wouldn't recommend driving at this speed normally due to the jail time involved and the heavy fines and impounding of ones vehicle. But I just had to know technically how fast she would go on a fresh motor.
So I did it the name of science.

P.S. I tried to talk a guy out of Martini Plate, the car was so butchered the only thing left restoring was the polish on the plate. But he wouldn't part with it, kept mumbling something about a rare and special car, and hell or something like that.

A martini (other than a drink Rick!!!) is a marketing car by Porsche
it had the order number M426 there were 3000 approx. bult from
12/76 to 03/77. all cars were white with the Martini & Rossi stripe
down the sides and the factory rim centers painted white, it came
with front & rear anti-roll bars as standard, other than that the power
train was stock Porsche 924. The interiors were scarlet carpets and
seat inlays, plus Martini & Rossi stripes on the headrests and blue
piping around the seat edges. And each car had a special plaque
commemorating the world championships. Brad

It is not possible for a stock 924 to go that speed!
