911 S/T in Dani Blue: When a dream colour finally becomes a reality
Porsche enthusiast and horse breeder Jorge Carnicero will soon have a new unique specimen in his stable. As part of the Porsche Sonderwunsch programme, a comprehensively customised 911 S/T in Dani Blue has been created. The sports car collector from the US state of Kentucky named the colour exclusively developed for him after Colour & Trim designer Daniela Miloševi. One striking feature of the interior is the tricoloured pepita pattern on the seat centres. Like the extensive leather upholstery in Graphite Blue, the pattern runs with the blue colour of the exterior paintwork. The 911 S/T in Dani Blue will be one of thehighlights of the Monterey Car Week before Porsche hands the car over to its long-standing customer.
“Blue has always been my colour. I was never a fan of green,” Jorge Carnicero already revealed during one of his previous projects with Porsche. That highly individual 911 GT3 Touring was based on the millionth 911, which had rolled off the line in Irish Green in 2017.
Harmonious overall concept with attention to detail
The classic look that is a feature of all of Jorge Carnicero’s Porsche cars is created by the combination of Dani Blue with Brilliant Silver on the lightweight magnesium wheels, the borders of the side windows (Daylight Opening), and the 911 S/T logos painted in Brilliant Silver behind the front wheel arches. The high-quality overall impression is also underlined by the mirror attachment pieces and the frame of the engine cover around the air intake grille being painted in high-gloss Black.
There’s also a special Easter egg – a small, hidden surprise – in the exterior: the motto ‘Simply the Best’ over the number plate holder. Befitting for the derivative, the letters S and T in this motto are typographically emphasised using the design of the model logo. Hidden on the underside of the rear bumper when on the road, the message is reserved for special occasions, for example when the 911 S/T in Dani Blue is displayed in exhibitions.
About the Porsche 911 S/T
The Sonderwunsch model is based on the 911 S/T with which Porsche is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the 911. This special edition, limited to 1,963 units, offers a one-of-a-kind combination of agility and driving dynamics. It combines the naturally aspirated, 386 kW (525 PS, 911 S/T: Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 13.8 l/100 km, CO emissions* combined (WLTP) 313 g/km, CO class G, CO class weighted combined G ) 4.0‑litre flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS with a short-ratio manual transmission. This is complemented by resolutely lightweight construction down to the tiniest detail and a running-gear setup optimised for agility and drivability. The name marks out the new 911 S/T as the descendant of a particularly performance-focused version of the first 911 generation. From 1969, Porsche offered a special racing version of the 911 S. Internally, these vehicles were called 911 ST.
Comprehensive leather upholstery in the interior and seats with theexclusive pepita pattern
The colour concept of the exterior is carried on in the interior, where it strikes a balance between the sporty, puristic S/T look and high-quality individualisation. The most striking feature is the tricoloured pepita pattern on the seat centres. The iconic check pattern, which first adorned the seats of the Porsche 356 at the start of the 1960s, is here composed of threads in Graphite Blue, Chalk and Blue.
The one-off car is also adorned with elegant cross-stitching in GT Silver along the dashboard trim and the upper door panel trim. This cross-stitching also appears on the side skirts. Each cross stitch is done carefully by hand by the experts at the saddlery. The interior of this special 911 S/T is generously upholstered in leather in Graphite Blue, with the natural material also being used for the knee pad and the trim on the A‑pillars. Even the air vents are bordered in Graphite Blue leather, which is also used for the door opening loops. The entire roof lining is in Race-Tex of the same colour. An eye for high-quality details is also evident in the high-gloss Black belt passages of the full bucket seats made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. The headrests are adorned with the 911 S/T logo in GT Silver.
