These are Porsche’s most exclusive customer requests and one -off one -time cars

From rare Sonderwunsch projects to one-off builds, discover some of the most exclusive and unique Porsche’s that Stuttgart ever left.

PorscheThe history of one -off builds and adapted creations goes far back, long before personalization became a fashion word. Through the Sonderwunsch program and the exclusive Manufaktur division, Porsche has been building up ultra-and-very-shared models for decades, often for collectors, celebrities and royalties of motorsport. Whether it was a unique wiper setup on one 356 B For Alfried Krupp or a full street-legal 917 racing car for Mansour Ojjeh, Porsche’s always had a weakness for converting foreign requests into reality. These are also not your average special editions, because we are talking about fully adapted interiors, wild color comboses and even redesign of the entire body, all done with attention at factory level.

Things were really picked up in the 80s and 90s, when rich customers pushed the limits of what Porsche could do. Hi-Fi systems, pastel interiors and hand-painted finishes started to appear more often, making the stage set up for today’s full one-off builds. With the New Life Blown Sonderwunsch program, customers now sit down with designers and engineers to make really unique cars, from stitching, paint color or even airbrush art on the body. It is not a fast process, and it is absolutely not cheap, but for some there is nothing better than possessing a Porsche that no one else has. Whether it is a modern Taycan Or a vintage 928These ultra-exclusive builds show what is possible when creativity meets German precision.

356 B Carrera 2 – Achterste Wiper (1968)

Industrial Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was not willing to abandon this special request, an exotic function at that time. His 356 a coupé from 1955 was already equipped with a rear wiper alone for him. But for his 356 B Carrera 2 from 1962, the implementation of this customer request proved extremely difficult, because the rear window was greater than that of the predecessor. A hole had to be drilled in the windshield to create space for the wiper and his engine. After several cracked windows during installation, the Porsche mechanic was finally able to explain success.

911 2.0 – Rally Model (1968)

In 1968 this 911 was converted for the London – Sydney Marathon, which covered more than 16,000 kilometers through Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. The exhaust pipe was extended to roof height for river transitions, while the spectacular tubular frame on the outside offered protection against rollovers and collisions with wild animals. Support for motorsport drivers with different projects, some quite unusual, was one of the many reasons to set up the customer racing department in 1973. A close bond between racing and adjustment still exists to this day.

917 “Kurzcheck” – Street Version (1975)

Converting a “kurzheck” (short tail) 917 for operation on public roads was a unique challenge. The order came from the manufacturer of the Gregorio Rossi di Montelera spirit from Italy, the most important sponsor of Porsche Motorsport. Equipped with exterior mirrors, turn signals and a rear foil, the racing car was eventually approved in the US state of Alabama, who also gave the operation permission in the chosen house of France of De Graaf. A second “917 street” was presented to a German customer in 1977.

935 – “Street” (1983)

Almost no other one-off created by the Porsche Sonderwunsch Ministerie has captured the spirit of the time, just like the conversion of the 911 Turbo to the 935 racing car for Saudi-Arabic Mansour Ojjeh, who has submitted the order for an extensive Formula 1 Motor project). With a Flachbau, a leather interior in cream caramel, a paint in candy apple and wooden paneling, the 935 “street” became a symbol of the 1980s. The resulting small series led to the establishment of Porsche Exclusive in 1986, known as Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur since 2017.

959 (1989)

A small series of seven Porsche 959 vehicles produced for a member of the ruling family of Qatar is still unique to this day. A color concept with stripes was developed for this in collaboration with Porsche designers in Weissach. Adapted colors such as Sahara Beige, Royal Blue and Silk Green were combined with accordingly colored buffaloing interiors with stripes. The exhaust pipe gilded in 24-carat gold was another excellent customer request. Instead of the traditional Porsche emblem, the golden family path of the new owner De Kap, Hub cover and interior adorns.

911 GT2 (993) – Coppa Florio (1997)

With only 193 units produced in total, a 911 GT2 based on generation 993 is a rare face as it is. But this GT2 that has been adjusted on behalf of a customer is unique in its kind-part because it is the only one with the light blue shadow Coppa Florio (code 360). And then there are the rims of the Speedline wheels in the same color and the consistently defined domestic interior. The interior and the cockpit are finished in special leather in can around everywhere, including the Rosette inflammatory switch, light switch, radio, rear -view mirror and round instruments.

911 Turbo Cabriolet (996) (2004)

The aim of the “most personal car” initiative introduced in 2004 was to promote the adjustments to Porsche on a global scale. One of the most spectacular examples was when furniture designer and architect Carlo Rampazzi got the 911 Turbo Cabriolet (996) from his dreams – with the identical shade orange both outside and in the interior. The inspiration was a porcelain plate, a color sample, not so unusual in view of the fact that exclusive consultants had once received the painted panel of a kitchen door as a reference. To this day, heaven is the limit when it comes to the color choice of the customer.

Panamera – Exclusive series (2014)

Exclusive Manufaktur improved a small series of 100 vehicles based on the Panamera Turbo S, which was presented in 2014 at the car show of Los Angeles. For the first time, Porsche offered a two -tone gradient paint, with a deep black metallic under the door hooks under the door handle the door hooks under the door handle the door hooks under the door hooks under the door handle the door hooks under the door handle the door dogs that are fallen to a cupboard. Each vehicle is painted by hand to reach a harmonious color gradient. The seats and other inner surfaces were upholstered in the Italian Poltrona Frau leather in the color Agatha chestnut brown. The entertainment system of the rear seat Plus with an integrated camera and DVD player also made his debut.

911 Sport Classic & 911 Classic Club Coupé (1999-2022)

With the small series of the 911 Sport Classic (992, right), limited to 1,250 vehicles, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur introduced the second of a total of four collector variants of the Heritage Design Edition. Popular design elements, colors and materials from the 1960s and early 1970s were re -interpreted in this 911. The original 911 and the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (1972) offered visual inspiration for the Variant of 2022, just as they had for its direct predecessor, the 911 sports classic based on type 997. The 911 Classic Club Coupé, a unique of its kind based on the 996 generation and part of the Reversed Sonderwunsch program, was manufactured on behalf of the Porsche Club of America and sold at an auction. What the one -off one -off one -off has in common with the two sports classical models are the double dome roof, the fixed rear spoiler in the style of the Ducktail and the double stripes that extend over the hood, the roof and the rear spoiler.

Taycan Turbo S – “Ding Yi” (2023)

Another extraordinary, inspiring vehicle was made through the Sonderwunsch program in collaboration with the Chinese artist Ding Yi. Inspired by his painting appearance of crosses 2022-2, sections of the image adorn the body and the interior. The application process was quite complicated and required precise masking techniques and innovative painting and printing processes. With the basic color of deep blue and the integration of artistic elements, the sporty sedan combines aesthetics and technology. Ding Yi, a renowned representative of abstract contemporary art, also wants to use the Taycan turbos in Shanghai, the city he calls home.

928 S – “Boo” (2024)

For singer-songwriter Álvaro Soler, the Sonderwunsch ministerie refined a 928 S, built in 1981. The interior is dominated by leather in Pampa Brown, while the outside shines in the adapted Soler Yellow Metallic color. The sound system was developed in collaboration with the engineers of the Porsche Development Center Weissach, perfectly linked to the seating position and taste of Soler-Voor a 360-degree sound experience. After completing the unique piece, the Sonderwunsch team surprised the musician with a highlight: a guitar painted in the color of the car, complete with a matching housing covered with the same leather as the vehicle interior.
