If, like us at Cars For Stars, you are a bit of a luxury car enthusiast, you will have heard the term ‘Porsche Project Gold’ flown around; a secret project that we are slowly being fed details of.
As the brainchild of Porsche’s Classic division, the project will see the resurrection of the 993-generation 911 Turbo, a car that stole our hearts back in the day and is likely to do it again. As the first ever restomod for the firm, they wrote the following in their official press release.
“A classic body is the starting point for a vehicle that will ultimately become a truly unique piece – assembled in the Porsche Classic workshop and individualized by the sports car manufacturer’s designers.”
What is under the bonnet?
According to the carmakers, the new 911 will be built with a 3.6-litre twin-turbo engine, producing 444 bhp. Capable of great speeds, it appears the car will, like its original, combine good looks with even better speeds.
A glamourous black and gold colour scheme
As revealed in various teaser videos, The Project Gold also sports a set of black, five-spoke wheels. With gold accents in the middle and all around the trim, the black and gold colour scheme is incredibly luxurious.
The perfect way to celebrate Porsche’s 70th birthday
The launch of the modified classic coincides with Porsche’s 70th birthday; a huge accolade for any brand. As the ultimate gift to themselves, the project is still shrouded with a great deal of secrecy. While we do not know when the car will be unveiled to the public, we do know it will be offered to the highest bidder.
