Color has always been a defining part of the Porsche experience. From the earliest air-cooled 356 to the latest all-electric Taycan, a bold and varied paint palette has allowed Porsche’s designers and customers alike to express their passion and individuality. And nowhere is this more evident than in the recent creation of this 911 Speedster, a unique car inspired by the Porsche family itself and brought from dream to reality by the experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
Green has history with the Porsche family that goes as far back as the earliest 911 models. Ferry Porsche himself would always ensure that his company cars were painted in one of a select number of subtle, elegant shades, such as Oak green metallic, Olive green, Emerald green metallic or Brewster green. It is a tradition that has been continued by Dr Wolfgang Porsche to this day, with several cars in his private collection finished in the same colors his father favored more than half a century ago.
In fact, it was one of those very cars that inspired the creation of this special Speedster. On a trip to the Porsche Museum, the future owner saw the striking 993 Turbo S that Dr Porsche still likes to drive over Austria’s Grossglockner mountain. Finished in Code 22B Brewstergreen, it was love at first sight and the start of an ongoing obsession with this rare and subtle paint scheme. It looks black in some certain environments, but when it’s seen in good light, there is no missing the green.
Going beyond the extensive range of series and special colors, the Paint To Sample color options allow customers to underline their own personality and lifestyle even more visibly. With more than 100 additional colors from a technically approved spectrum, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers a very wide choice for the 911.
What followed was a busy period for the customer and Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, who were asked to allocate a Brewster green Paint To Sample slot for his in-build 991.2 generation 911 Turbo S. This was followed not long after by a 911 GT3 Touring, which provided the opportunity to experiment further both inside and out, with Noto Green leather in the cabin and British racing green pinstriping around the wheels.
With a head full of ideas and an allocation for the 991.2 Speedster, the customer decided to travel to Zuffenhausen to configure his latest Porsche in person. En route he was informed that once again, Exclusive Manufaktur would be able to provide a special PTS finish, and without hesitation he settled upon Dr Porsche’s beloved Brewstergreen.
The results are a fitting monument to one man’s passion, but also a reflection of the dedication and skill of the team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur who involve the client every step of the way.
