Porsche One‑Off 911 S/T
Porsche unveiled a collector‑commissioned, one‑off 911 S/T inspired by the 1970s Camel GT racer, marrying vintage livery with modern performance upgrades. (motorious.com) The bespoke build underlines rising demand for Porsche’s customization program and Sonderwunsch creations. (caranddriver.com)
The specific 1972 911 S/T that inspired the build logged 27 Camel GT Challenge entries between 1973 and 1978 and saw its competitive career end after a third‑lap crash at the Trois‑Rivières circuit in Québec; that restored car now sits in a Swiss collection whose owner commissioned the Sonderwunsch project. (newsroom.porsche.com (newsroom.porsche.com)) Designer Grant Larson — credited with work on the Carrera GT and the original Boxster — devised a flowing, hand‑applied Phoenix Red and Signal Yellow paint treatment for the one‑off rather than a simple decal recreation. (hiconsumption.com (hiconsumption.com)) Porsche kept period references subtle: the Camel dromedary motif appears only in embroidered headrests, an embossed center‑console lid, etched door‑sill trim and in door‑mounted puddle‑lamp projections. (hiconsumption.com (hiconsumption.com)) Interior detailing also includes stitched circuit outlines for Sebring, Daytona, Indianapolis and Lime Rock that link the cabin to the original car’s IMSA race history. (hiconsumption.com (hiconsumption.com)) Exterior nods to the original car’s asymmetric wheel setup come via removable Manthey Racing rear aero‑discs (the same units developed for the 911 GT3 RS) that aren’t homologated for road use and are meant to be fitted for track sessions only. (hiconsumption.com (hiconsumption.com)) Porsche left the mechanicals essentially standard for the S/T platform: a naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter flat‑six rated at 518 hp and 343 lb‑ft driving a six‑speed manual, with the Sonderwunsch work focusing on aesthetics and bespoke craftsmanship. (hiconsumption.com (hiconsumption.com)) Porsche published the Sonderwunsch feature on March 24, 2026, describing the project as an “artistic reinterpretation” of the 1972 car and identifying the completed commission as a 2025 911 S/T reimagined for a private Swiss collector.
