The "Ocelot" 911 GT3 Touring: A Colombian Tribute
The "Ocelot" 911 GT3 Touring is a one-of-a-kind model inspired by the lush biodiversity of Colombia's Amazon rainforest. Its exterior is finished in exclusive Paint to Sample Forest Green Metallic, evoking the dense foliage and vibrant life of the jungle. Contrasting accents in Centenaire Silver pay homage to the classic design language of early Porsche 911 models from the 1960s.
The wheels, forged aluminum in 20/21-inch size, are also painted Forest Green Metallic, featuring fine Centenaire Silver lines for an elegant touch.
Interior Inspired by the Ocelot
The interior design draws inspiration from the ocelot itself, a symbol of Colombia's natural beauty and resilience. The cabin is predominantly upholstered in rich Cohiba Brown leather, mirroring the ocelot's coat. The Sports Seats feature a combination of Cohiba Brown leather and Pepita fabric centers in a palette of Truffle Brown, Black, and Cream White, reminiscent of the animal's distinctive spotted pattern and Porsche's classic heritage.
A unique detail is found on the headrests, which are embossed with the silhouette of an ocelot, inspired by Colombian wildlife crossing signs. This symbolizes the coexistence and respect between humanity and nature.
Celebrating Anniversaries
Subtle yet significant details throughout the vehicle mark the anniversaries. An exclusive badge on the B-pillars reads "Iconos de Latinoamérica." The illuminated door sill guards proudly display "30 Años de Autoelite" on the driver's side and "25 Años de Porsche Latin America" on the passenger's side.
Further personalization includes extensive use of Cohiba Brown leather for interior components, accented with Truffle Brown stitching. The steering wheel features a Truffle Brown 12 o'clock marker, and the Race-Tex headlining is in Truffle Brown, creating a warm and luxurious ambiance. Even the front luggage compartment is trimmed in matching leather and Pepita fabric.
The Sonderwunsch Program
The Sonderwunsch program, reinterpreted from Porsche's legendary special wishes initiative of the late 1970s, allows for the creation of unique, co-created vehicles. This program offers customers the ability to personalize new vehicles with tailor-made options, including unique exterior colors through Paint to Sample Plus. It also extends to retrofitting and complete redesigns of existing vehicles, with Porsche's development and design team providing support.
