If you are aware of Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program, you’ll probably know about how these cars are the most exclusive of their kind.
Commissioned by the uber wealthy, the program allows almost free-reign over how the Porsche looks inside and out.
Recently, a 911 S/T (which is already the hardest type of 911 to buy) rolled out of the factory wearing an eye-catching orange livery.
To the untrained eye, this looks to be yet another billionaire flaunting their wealth, but there’s a lot more history behind this one.
This one is a tribute to the 1972 Porsche 911 S/T campaigned in endurance races by Equipe de Course Marc Dancose.
It competed in 27 of these events across North America, between 1973 and 1978.
Tracks such as Sebring, Daytona, and Indianapolis were raced on by this machine, and all feature in its logbook.
Its life as a race car was cut short following a crash at Trois-Rivières, but it underwent a full restoration, and emerged as part of a Swiss collection decades on.
Once Porsche announced a modern version of the 911 S/T, it became clear to the owner that a tribute was in order.
With a combination of Phoenix Red and Signal Yellow, the vision became a reality.
The owner didn’t want to recreate the sponsor stickers from decades ago, and instead opted for hand-painted details around the 911.
A reference to the Camel GT Challenge is embroidered on the headrests, and outlines of the tracks can be found on the exterior.
The closer you look, the more detail can be found, it’s quite a work of art.
