Porsche Goes #GreenOverTan With the Exclusive 911 Carrera S

  • By Asaph Low

Porsche Goes #GreenOverTan With the Exclusive 911 Carrera SColours form an important part of identification, even beyond the days of our forefathers. From coat-of-arms to symbols, crests to emblems — the significance of colours in society date back to prehistoric days as means to forge associations and create a sense of belonging. Even after the passing of millennia, the fundamental values of colour as an identifier remain albeit it has evolved with time and has taken on a more intimate relationship with individuals and even organisations.

Colour has always been one of Porsche’s defining facets, with bold, head-turning palettes emblazoned on iconic models from the sports car manufacturer over the years. As colours epitomise individuality, creativity and passion, the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur personalisation program is the perfect means to transform your Porsche into a true extension of yourself.

Porsche Goes #GreenOverTan With the Exclusive 911 Carrera SThe Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur continues the tradition started by Ferry Porsche when he built his dream car in 1948. While specific customisation programs aimed squarely at sports-style adjustments or vehicle refinement were introduced over the years, Porsche Exclusive was introduced as a personalisation program in 1986 before evolving into Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur as it is known today. With over 700 customisation options available ranging from the exterior down to upholstery stitching, turning your dream Porsche into reality starts with the ‘dream’ division of Porsche and its dedicated team of highly skilled craftsmen.

Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur #GreenOverTan Porsche 911 Carrera SPorsche Goes #GreenOverTan With the Exclusive 911 Carrera STo demonstrate the pedigree and limitless potential of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche Singapore pays tribute to Ferry Porsche with its interpretation of the #GreenOverTan trend and what better way to do it than with the Porsche 911 Carrera S as its canvas. Green has a special place in Ferry Porsche’s heart as he would ensure his cars were painted in shades such as Oak green metallic, Olive green, Emerald green metallic or Brewster Green. The stylised rendition sees a contemporary twist on the green shade as a mystical Aventurine Green Metallic finish adorns the iconic 911 silhouette, replete with racing stripes as a nod to its sporty heritage. Fans of the Porsche 911 will appreciate other classic touches which include the characteristic Fuchs “five-leaf” wheels and the silver side script decals.

Heritage Interior
Porsche Goes #GreenOverTan With the Exclusive 911 Carrera SThe interior is decked out with Porsche’s Heritage Design Package Pure option — an earthy shade of tan afforded by the Atacama Beige contrasting against black fixtures. Paired with OLEA club leather on all tactile panels, the Porsche crests are proudly emblazoned on the headrests. Given how the leather is prized for its luxurious ageing qualities, the two-tone execution will exude a vintage touch as it ages gracefully over time.

Porsche opted for corduroy for the seat centre as the hard-wearing material is immensely durable while being suitably elegant and luxurious for Porsche 911 aficionados.

A traditional Porsche 911 tachometer front and centre surrounded by two digital display screens make up the instrument cluster. The familiar Sport Chrono stopwatch sits on the car’s dashboard and matches with the same classic colour scheme. White hands and scale markings contrasted with green numbers pay homage to the original Porsche 356. A classic 911 plaque on the passenger console and an embossed Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur signature on the centre console mark the finishing touches to a 911 that would make Ferry Porsche himself proud.
