BANGKOK: Porsche recently celebrated three decades in Thailand with a bespoke 911 Carrera GTS 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition.
The company's bespoke team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur was tasked to deliver the special edition.
A limited run of these highly-collectible 911 Carrera GTS models will be produced, and each can be specified in one of seven iconic Paint to Sample (PTS) colours, paying homage to every colour of the day in the week in Thai culture. The PTS colours in the 911 Carrera GTS 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition range are listed below:
Monday (Yellow) – Signalyellow
Tuesday (Pink) – Rubystar
Wednesday (Green) – Signalgreen
Thursday (Orange) – Pastelorange
Friday (Blue) – Rivierablue
Saturday (Purple) – Ultraviolet
Sunday (Red) – Firered
To complement the car’s exterior, the 20- and 21-inch Turbo S centre lock wheels, standard on the Carrera GTS models, are finished in a unique black/exterior colour two-tone, corresponding to the body colour.
The brake callipers are also finished in a stealthy black, but a splash of colour is provided by the Porsche crest on coloured wheel centre caps at all four corners.
The car comes with black high-gloss contrast finishes across the exterior, extending to the SportDesign front apron, front intakes, side window sills, rear apron inlays, rear lid inlays and exterior mirrors. On the B-pillars, a one-off “30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition” plaque is hand-applied.
On the car’s rear decklid, five slats on the driver’s side are painted red, white and blue according to the colours of the Thai flag. Finally, the standard model designation trim is replaced with a more subtle and contemporary "911" logo.
More bespoke touches continue inside the car, with contrasting interior trim pieces finished in the corresponding exterior colour on the passenger and centre consoles.
Seat inlays in Black corduroy, as well as Pebble Grey seat pipings and contrast stitching provide elegant highlights throughout the premium black leather interior, and a unique anniversary logo is stitched onto each of the headrests.
Anniversary mentions continue on the passenger console, centre armrest and on the door sill guards. A cross-stitching in Pebble Grey adds special accentuating details to the dashboard upper part, the door panels, and the rear side trim.
At a gala event celebrating 30 Years of Porsche in Thailand at Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, Porsche also unveiled a one-of-a-kind Inspiration Car in addition to the launch of the 911 Carrera GTS 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition.
The Inspiration Car is finished in all seven colours, exquisitely hand-painted from body and paint specialists at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
The one-off car exhibits all of the artistic elements of the 911 Carrera GTS 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition on its exterior and interior, bearing every shade the Edition collection will be available in.
