EMWRAPS wrapped a daily-driven Porsche 911 in a modern Salzburg tribute livery at our Seattle shop in SODO. The red-and-white design is inspired by the limited-edition 918 Spyder Salzburg package, which in turn honors the Porsche 917 that won Le Mans in 1970. We laid it out to follow the 911's body lines and applied it in 3M 2080 cast vinyl.

What is the Porsche Salzburg livery?
The Salzburg livery is the red-and-white pattern worn by the Porsche 917 that won Le Mans in 1970. It is one of the most recognized designs in motorsport history and has become a symbol of Porsche's racing DNA.
Porsche brought the look back on the limited-edition 918 Spyder with its Salzburg package. That modern version is where this client started: they wanted the historic racing look on the 911 they drive every day, a car that starts a conversation wherever it parks.
How do you recreate a heritage livery on a 911?
A faithful heritage livery comes down to proportions, color and layout. The design has to look right at a glance, because people who know the Salzburg cars will notice if the red sections are the wrong size or in the wrong place.
The 911 is a different shape from both the 917 and the 918 Spyder, so the design can't simply be copied over. We adapted the layout to the 911's own body lines so the red and white sections flow naturally along its shape.
Why 3M 2080 cast vinyl?
We used 3M 2080 cast vinyl for its conformability and color accuracy. The 911 has deep curves around the fenders and bumpers, and cast film stretches into those shapes without fighting back, so the red and white edges stay crisp.
EMWRAPS is a 3M and Avery Dennison authorized dealer. Cast vinyl like 3M 2080 typically lasts 5–7 years on a car, and it is fully removable. That makes a livery a reversible choice: the factory paint stays protected underneath, and the 911 can go back to stock whenever the owner wants.
Gulf, Martini, Salzburg or your own design
The same approach works for any heritage look. Gulf, Martini, Salzburg or a completely original design can all be built as a vinyl livery. We have also built full race liveries, like the Ferrari 296 Challenge Targa livery, and you can see more on our race car wraps and liveries page. For another Porsche build, see the RWB Porsche PPF and wrap.
Frequently asked questions
Can EMWRAPS recreate a classic racing livery on my car?
Yes. EMWRAPS designs and installs heritage racing liveries such as Gulf, Martini and Salzburg, as well as original designs. Each livery is adapted to the car's own body lines rather than copied from a different model, so proportions and color sections look right on the vehicle it is going on.
How much does a custom livery wrap cost in Seattle?
A custom livery is quoted per design, because coverage and complexity vary widely. For reference, a full vinyl color change at EMWRAPS runs $3,500 to $5,500 depending on vehicle size, with coupes and small cars at the lower end. The final price depends on the vehicle, the design and how much of the car is covered.
How long does a 3M 2080 vinyl livery last?
A 3M 2080 cast vinyl livery typically lasts 5–7 years. Hand washing, avoiding harsh brushes and parking out of constant sun help the colors hold up. When the owner wants a change, the livery can be removed without harming the factory paint.
Can I protect my Porsche's paint as well as wrap it?
Yes. A Porsche owner can pair a wrap or livery with paint protection film on high-impact areas, or choose clear PPF on its own. EMWRAPS installs UNITY USA, STEK, SunTek and 3M paint protection film; the Porsche PPF page explains the coverage options.
