On November 12th, Porsche celebrated what would have been the 90th birthday of F. A. Porsche. In
honor of this milestone Porsche has created a special car for the occasion: the 2027 911 GT3 90 F. A.
Porsche. Exterior and interior design is inspired by a 911 model (G body) which F. A. Porsche drove in
the 1980s. Sonderwunsch Manufaktur will produce 90 units globally, one of which will be delivered to
his son Mark Porsche. Buyers of this special vehicle can look forward to a unique program as part of
their personal product consultation, during which they can customize their example further.
“When you consider the function of a product, in most cases the form follows suit automatically,” was
the creative credo of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, also called F. A. His vision of an uncompromised
product focused on the essentials defined the legendary 911. In 1972 he founded the design studio
”Porsche Design“ together with his brother Hans-Peter. Creations he developed in this studio such as
the Chronograph 1 wristwatch or the P’8478 sunglasses with changeable lenses quickly became
classics of modern design.
To commemorate what would have been his 90th birthday, the Sonderwunsch team created a special “memento working together with his youngest son, Mark Porsche: the 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche. One example will be delivered to Mark Porsche.” “I am sure that my father would have loved this very special 911,” Mark Porsche said. “Many details of this exciting project were influenced by his personal taste. The F. A. Green metallic paint – created specifically for this model – is based on the Oak Green metallic of his own 911. The F. A. Grid-Weave fabric on the seat centers was inspired by the pattern of his favorite sport coat.”
The collector car is based on the current 911 GT3 with Touring Package, which is the more subtle version of the race-bred sports car with an adaptive rear spoiler. The naturally aspirated boxer engine develops 502 hp and a maximum torque of 331 lb.-ft.
The 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche will carry an MSRP of $387,000 excluding other taxes, fees and optional equipment. A special customer consultation period dedicated to one-on-one personalization for each order will precede production, which is scheduled to begin mid-2026.
An exclusive edition of the Chronograph 1 and a special Weekender travel bag from Porsche Design will be delivered with each car. After each customer has specified the final configuration, production will commence in mid-2026.
Paint to Sample Plus color inspired by the green 911 of F. A. Porsche
The exclusive paint of the special model is F. A. Green metallic, a color created with input from the Porsche family intended to reference F. A. Porsche’s own 911 in Oak Green metallic. Sport Classic wheels painted in Satin Black – which are otherwise not available for the 911 GT3 with Touring Package – are another unique exterior design feature. Smaller special details include a Porsche crest in the design from 1963 on the center lock hubs. The rear decklid grille is decorated with a gold plaque that features a “90 F. A. Porsche’ logo.
Inspired by a sport coat pattern: special fabric for the seat centers
Limestone stitching and seat centers in special F. A. grid-weave fabric complement the Truffle Brown Club Leather interior as a homage to F. A. Porsche. The same fabric is also used in the glove compartment and for the mat in the front trunk. The woven pattern of the fabric contains five colors: black, green, truffle brown, cream and Bordeaux red.
“My father’s favorite sport coat carried this pattern. Like his pencil, his pipe and his ashtray, this coat is part of my childhood memories and directly linked with his home office,” Mark Porsche said.
