Swiss Army Porsche? Matte olive-green 911 (video)

Looking at this custom Porsche, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the Swiss army had ordered up a fleet of military-spec 911s. Then you'd quickly realize that while it may be a versatile sports car, the 911 would not be the Porsche most utile for military applications, compared with, say, the Cayenne.

In reality what you're looking at is a "civilian" 911 tuned by aftermarket specialist, Sportec. Never mind the 800-horsepower engine this brat is packin', the real highlight is the original paint job. This 911 Sportec SPR1 is decked out in matte green, with dark wheels and a Swiss flag painted on the roof. The paramilitary hue might make it even harder to spot as it sprints to sixty in three seconds flat, that is assuming the Swiss machine can shift out of neutral.

Follow the jump to watch the video of the Porsche 911 Sportec SPR1 undergoing high-speed testing at Nardo.

Paris Motor Show: Lamborghini Gallardo Nera

Lamborghini took the black wraps off the Gallardo Nera, a special edition of their "entry level" V10 supercar.

What differentiates this Gallardo from all others is primarily its color scheme. Painted in Nero Noctis (Nero Serapis in Europe), with side mirrors housings, rear spoiler, select body panels front and rear, roof, door sills, rear apron and Calisto wheels all matte black. The interior is black and white: Nero Perseus and Bianco Polar with white piping and top-stitching to contrast.

The Gallardo Nera will be produced in a limited edition of 185. It comes packed with sat nav, rear view camera (handy for parking and laughing at the cars you've left in the dust), lifting suspension (for negotiating curbs and annoying speed bumps) and a special car cover. The Nera edition might be just the thing for those with a big chunk of cash and a taste for something a bit more stealthy than bright orange or lime green.
