911 Speedster Brewster: Going Green With Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur
A bold and diverse paint palette, colour has always been a major part of the Porsche experience that allowed the designers and clients to express their passion and individuality.
Realizing a client’s vision, the experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur have brought to life a unique green cloaked 911 Speedster.
911 Speedster Brewster – The Inspiration
To begin with, the colour green has history with the Porsche family that goes as far back as the earliest 911 models.
Ferry Porsche himself would always ensure his company cars were painted in one of a select number of elegant shades, e.g., Oakgreenmetallic, Olivegreen, Emeraldgreenmetallic or Brewstergreen.
It is a tradition that has been continued by Dr Wolfgang Porsche to this day, with several cars in his private collection finished in the same colours his father favoured more than half a century ago.
That said, it was one of those very cars that inspired the creation of this special Speedster. Namely, the striking 993 Turbo S, finished in Code 22B Brewstergreen.
“I’m not a big fan of metallic colours and I immediately took a shine to the Brewster as it’s very understated. It looks black in some certain environments, but when it’s seen in good light, there is no missing the green,” said the client.
911 Speedster Brewster – The Undertaking
As requested by the client, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur were asked to allocate a Brewstergreen Paint To Sample slot for his in-build 991.2 generation 911 Turbo S.
This was also adopted to the 911 GT3 Touring, which gave the prospect to experiment further inside and out, with Noto Green leather interior and British-racing-green pinstriping around the wheels.
He added, “It was time to combine all of my favourite greens and the Speedster was the perfect car for it. The Brewstergreen was a simple choice having seen how the 991.2 Turbo S had been executed. The Noto Green leather interior inspired by the GT3 Touring was also a no-brainer, but this time we went even further, no stone was left unturned.” Everything from the seats, vent slats, steering wheel, door cards, sun visors, edges of the floor mats, all of the trim and even the fuse box cover hidden away in the footwell was trimmed in Noto Green leather. The wheels, meanwhile, were painted to match the body, with a contrasting silver pinstripe.”
With a head full of ideas and an allocation for the 991.2 Speedster, the client decided to travel to Zuffenhausen to configure his latest Porsche in person.
En route he was informed that once again, Exclusive Manufaktur would be able to provide a special PTS finish, and without hesitation he settled upon Dr Porsche’s beloved Brewstergreen.
“From laying out the paint and leather samples over lunch to see how they would interact, to seeing the renders, it was an experience like no other. There were little touches that really added to the overall journey, far beyond the car itself. I was able to see the car before it left Zuffenhausen and meet some of the people who had worked on it. Their passion and joy of working on the project made it feel even more of an occasion.”
The results are a fitting monument to one man’s passion, but also a reflection of the dedication and skill of the team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur who involve the client every step of the way.
Porsche – The Paint To Sample
Going beyond the extensive range of series and special colours, the Paint To Sample colour options allow customers to underline their own personality and lifestyle even more visibly.
Amazingly, with more than 100 additional colours from a technically approved spectrum, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers a very wide choice for the 911.
