I for one can't wait to see the livery. With those 918 promo shots in Martini colors, one wonders if we will again see a factory Martini Porsche? Porsche has always been one to get the livery right.

I do believe that liquor sponsorship is banned in many of the places they would be raced.

Or better yet run the cars or other 991 GTEs in the VLN and N24. Given Manthey's traditions and location of their HQ in Meuspath it would be logical.

One or both of the cars might be yellow and green.

Quite a good spy shot of the new car here:

Looks like a 911, funnily enough!

So traditional Manthey if no other sponsor is there with a different color pallet.

I'm just thinking back to previous factory efforts and how clean the cars always look. Here's to hoping.

last time Manthey ran under the official Porsche banner it was this wasn't it?

Looks like corporate Porsche to me, would be surprised to see this effort in anything other than the factory's colours, unless a sponsor shows up. Such a pity many of the classic Porsche ones are banned (Warsteiner, Rothmans, Martini etc), but we always live in the past in sportscar liveries - hopefully we'll get a new classic from them.

The yellow and green is now iconic to the VLN enthusiasts. I expect to see a "corporate look" on the Manthey cars. I hope the livery is nothing like what they are on the factory press photos and Hybrid with the with the rather strange stripes.

Liveries are certainly each to their own. I think that one looks great.

Let's see what they come up with.

I quite like that. I like the hybrid livery from 2010 even more.

I'd love to a modern remake of some kind of classic livery. This one is awesome. Would be even better in colour!

Romain Dumas has put on Facebook, that he is racing with Manthey next year with Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz.

"Pour compléter l'annonce d'hier, je vais rouler au sein du Porsche AG Team Manthey en FIA WEC avec Marc Lieb et Richard Lietz ;-)

Lieb and Lietz are sharing one car, Bergmeister and Pilet are sharing the other.
