The Porsche 911 Project Gold is based on a 911 Turbo from the 993 generation, the last of the 911 models with an air-cooled engine. 20 years after the end of the 993’s production, Porsche Classic decided to bring a unique model to life using an original body and brand-new genuine parts. This sports car is therefore completely new, built from 6,500 original parts. The project took about a year and a half to complete, with each stage handcrafted by the Porsche Classic team.

Under the hood, the Project Gold is powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, completely rebuilt for the occasion. This engine produces 450 horsepower (331 kW), capable of propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 300 km/h. The chassis and body received a cathodic dip painting treatment, identical to that of current models, ensuring optimal corrosion protection.

A blend ofof tradition and modernity

The Project Gold combines traditional Porsche elements with modern upgrades, such as an updated suspension and braking system for enhanced performance. The infotainment system is also modernized, featuring navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium audio system, all seamlessly integrated into the classic design of the 993.

This golden hue, from which the project takes its name, is complemented by hollow-spoke aluminum wheels. These wheels underwent a laser treatment to reveal golden lines against a black background.
