The Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup series has been racing and supporting European Formula 1 events for 30 years now, and the automaker behind the one-make series decided that was worth celebrating. It has, therefore, tasked Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’s new Sonderwunsch (special request) program to create a unique 911 celebrating the series’ milestone. The result is this special 911 GT3, the roadgoing version of the car that races in the Supercup.
The build took several weeks to complete
and involved taking the vehicle apart completely before rebuilding it with a
special design. Painted, rather than wrapped, in this special livery, the car
features eight different paint colors: GT Silver Metallic, Agate Grey Metallic,
high-gloss Black, Meteorgreymetallic, Parliamentgreymetallic,
Volcanogreymetallic, Grigiogranitometallic and Diamondblackmetallic. The names
of the 29 Porsche Supercup champions, meanwhile, are painted in gold. Porsche
says that applying the multicolor pixel mesh evenly across the body, with its
complex curves and angles, was the hardest part of this build. The design,
though, was inspired by the VIP car that invites celebrities to take the wheel
at some of the series’ events.
In addition, a large number 30 is found on
the door, the hood, and on the headrests inside, and the seats are finished in
a special color combination (Black/Aurum) for this model. And that mesh pattern
that was so complex on the exterior is also continued inside on the door-side
armrests.
The model will now be displayed at
Supercup races and later this summer it will make appearances at the Porsche
Museum and the CityLife Showroom in Milan together with the 911 GT3 Cup VIP
race car that inspired its design. Past Supercup champions will then be handed
the keys to take the car on PR excursions for the company.
