Note: Press release translated from Japanese to English.

Porsche Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) has created the “718 Cayman GT4 Tribute to 906” as a special model by “Porsche Exclusive Manufacture” where you can order one dream Porsche in the world. The 718 Cayman GT4 Tribute to 906 is the Porsche 906 (chassis number 145) that legendary racing driver Tetsu Ikuzawa won at the 4th Japan Grand Prix in 1967. It is a special one reproduced by a certain 718 Cayman GT4.

The Porsche Exclusive Manufactory stands for personal attention and customization down to the smallest detail. It is a program that proposes one Porsche model in the world, with more than 100 types of leather and stitch color combinations, carefully selected high-quality materials handled with high-precision handcraft, and all processes.

The 718 Cayman GT4 Tribute to 906, which Porsche Japan has created together with Porsche Exclusive Manufacture, has special paint and numbers from the exterior “Paint to Sample (PTS)” system, as well as details inherited from the chassis number 145 906. It has many features such as red stitching on the interior, the course map of Fuji Speedway at the time and the victory commemorative logo on the headset. The 718 Cayman GT4 Tribute to 906 is a special model that can only be made by Porsche Exclusive Manufacture, which can be said to be a bespoke program by Porsche.
Porsche Japan has no plans to sell this 718 Cayman GT4 Tribute to 906, but customers can order a vehicle with the same specifications at Porsche Exclusive. The vehicle will be on special display at the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo from August 23 (Tuesday) to August 31 (Wednesday), 2022.

The Porsche 906 is a racing car developed by Ferdinand Piëch, the grandson of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche, and was imported to Japan in 1966, shortly after it was announced. At the 4th Japan Grand Prix held the following year, Toru Ikusawa won the overall victory with the 906, which triggered the attention of the Porsche name in Japan. Since then, the 906 has continued to demonstrate its superior performance and durability in sports car races in Japan for many years.
