IT'S PORSCHE IBéRICA'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY - SO THE LIMITED NUMBER CUARENTA EDITION WAS CREATED.
To mark its 40th anniversary, the subsidiary Porsche Ibérica has unveiled the Cuarenta Edition. It features a unique combination of exterior and interior colours and finishes, as well as exclusive logos inspired by Iberian history and culture. The creation of this 911 edition brought together experts from the market Porsche Ibérica, Style Porsche and the Sonderwunsch Team in Zuffenhausen. In 1984, Porsche transitioned from being represented in Spain by an importer to being a subsidiary, initially called Porsche España, S.A. This milestone not only reflects the brand's strong bond with its Iberian enthusiasts but also marks the beginning of a new chapter in the company's history. To commemorate these four decades and to honour the customers who have made them possible, Porsche is presenting an exclusive and highly individualised edition of the iconic 911. The limited market edition is distinguished by its meticulously crafted design and the exclusivity that defines contemporary Porsche luxury. With carefully selected colours, materials, and finishes, each car in this collection is a work of art in motion, compiled by Porsche Ibérica to fulfil the dreams of a small group of future owners. “The arrival of Porsche as a subsidiary in Spain and Portugal, taking over from the importer at the time, was a turning point for the brand,” says Tomás Villén, Managing Director of Porsche Ibérica. “We are very proud of the work we have done in these forty years, and what better way to celebrate than with an exclusive model of the company's icon, the 911, for our market? At Porsche Ibérica, we will keep one unit, which we will use and preserve as a jewel to showcase our heritage.” “The idea behind the Cuarenta Edition was to create a 911 that would have been ordered by a Spanish or Portuguese customer 40 years ago and that is still fashionable and desirable today,” says Alexander Fabig, Vice President of Individualisation & Classic at Porsche. “In this Sonderwunsch project, the collaboration with our Spanish and Portuguese colleagues was very creative. We learnt a lot about Iberian culture and tradition as well as anecdotes from the founding period of Porsche Ibérica in the 1980s.”
Porsche Ibérica wanted to create a special version based on the iconic 911 reminiscent of the founding phase in the ‘80s so they turned to the Sonderwunsch programme. The base of the new Porsche Carrera GTS Coupé was chosen for this special upgrade, and the Cuarenta Edition features a bespoke exterior colour called Quercusverde - a green characteristic of the typical landscape of Spain and Portugal, with its fields of holm oaks, oak trees, and cork oaks. The Quercus tree is also used in the anniversary logo, and additional identifying elements include the Nueveonce/Cuarenta logo on the B-pillar in Cremewhite, the Porsche and 911 logo at the rear in Silver, the side window trims in Aluminium, the fender flares in stone guard film in Black Satin and the rear lights and strip in Red. The Cuarenta also features a Black Satin stone guard, Black Satin (with a silver lip) RS Spyder Design wheels, a 2-tone Truffle Brown and Cohiba Brown leather interior with a specially developed colour scheme of Truffle Brown, Cohiba Brown, Crayon and a nuance of Quercusverde. There’s Crayon and Truffle Brown cross-stitching along the dashboard trim and upper door panels, seats are upholstered in Cohiba Brown leather with seat centres in the new Tartan textile, Aluminium Darksilver door sill guards and individualised LED door courtesy lights featuring the special “Quercus tree logo” on the ground. The driver's key is painted in Quercusverde and features a Cuarenta lettering in Silver, and it comes with a special two-tone Truffle Brown and Cohiba Brown leather key pouch to match the interior - the pouch features an embossed Quercus tree logo. Customers will also receive an indoor car cover custom-made for the Cuarenta Edition that also matches the car with its Quercusverde colouring, a Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur logo on the front, and the Cuarenta Edition lettering on the sides in Cremewhite and the same badge on the rear. Nice.
