Porsche has a lot of history to draw from when designing vehicles. That includes all-new production models and one-off reinterpretations like this customized 911 Turbo S. Porsche built it to showcase the extent of its Sonderwunsch Factory Commissioning personalization program, based on one of four special Porsche 959s built in the late ’80s.
The most striking thing about the latest one-off Turbo S is the hand-painted exterior paint color. The automaker finished it with “Chromaflair” Urban Bamboo paint, which contains wafer-thin pigments in the top coat that allow people to see the different shades of color depending on the light and viewing angle. It also features a hand-painted side stripe in Rock Green Metallic, Jet Green Metallic and Anthracite Brown Metallic.
Inside, Porsche’s meticulous attention to detail includes hand-stitched Island Green cross-stitching on the dashboard and door panels. The black leather seats feature Slate Grey, Agave Green and Island Green inserts and the center console lid shows the Sonderwunsch branding, which Porsche also places on the rear window on the driver’s side. The 911 even has a fully leather luggage compartment.
Porsche has been building personalized vehicles for customers for decades and continues to expand the possibilities through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. The company says it has more than double the customization options today than in 2012, with more than 1,000 additional options available across all models. The company is now revising its Sonderwunsch program from the late 1970s for one-off vehicles.
