Over the past weekend, the car company Porsche showed another product of its Sonderwunsch program, which aims to customize cars. At the Monterey Car Week event, he showed a completely unique Porsche 911 of the 993 generation with a Speedster body, which was never officially released.
Nevertheless, only two pieces of the generation 993 Speedster left the car company’s production line. The first was produced in 1995 to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of Ferdinand Porsche, the second in 2001, and its owner is a famous comedian and, above all , lover of German cars, Jerry Seinfeld.
The third piece that is now on display was commissioned by another special person, who is an Italian architect, industrial designer and especially a big fan and collector of Porsche cars – Luca Trazzi. At the same time, his car is very different from the others.

The basis was the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet of the 993 generation from 1994, which underwent a complete reconstruction at the hands of experts from the Sonderwunsch program. At the same time, some design solutions were provided by the customer Trazzi himself, who has extensive experience in design.
The car received the wider group of Turbo models with pronounced bumpers, retro-inspired mirrors, 18-inch Turbo wheels with black paint and yellow details, a low windshield frame and a special rear body with a pair of arches that Trazzi was to become designing itself. A fabric roof for the car was also specially created.
The original cabriolet was already painted in yellow, but the final shade for the Speedster was developed and named Otto Yellow. The name of the customer’s dog was the inspiration for the color identification. The cabin is covered in black leather with yellow stitching, has illuminated door sills, carbon trim and a yellow and black dashboard with handwork on the seats.
At the same time, not only about retro. The car is equipped with LED headlights with the brand’s modern lighting signature, while the cabin features Porsche Classic Communication Management information, which despite its retro appearance also offers mobile connectivity brand new.
He travels to Europe
The icing on the cake is the technology used from the 911 Carrera RS model. Under the hood is a 3.8-liter air-cooled six-cylinder engine that sends 300 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
Although the car was first shown in the US, it will be transported back to Europe, where it will be part of an important collection and complete the collection of Porsche 911 Speedster models. Unfortunately, the automaker did not reveal the price of this particular car.
The Porsche 911 is very big, it feels even from a car manufacturer
