Taiwan's distinctive geography packs an incredible diversity of landscapes into a relatively small area. From the towering central mountain range that offers some of the world's most scenic driving roads, to the striking rock formations of the east coast and the vibrant waters of the Pacific, the island presents a rich tapestry of natural elements. It is this interplay of mountain, stone, and sea that has shaped Taiwan's identity and provided the direct inspiration for this project. The exterior colours symbolize the ocean and coastal rock formations, while the interior represents lush mountains.
This Sonderwunsch Project" highlights three key aspects: the pure, timeless driving pleasure of the 911 Carrera T; the exciting and diverse driving routes Taiwan offers; and the importance of sharing these experiences with the Porsche community. It demonstrates the breadth of Porsche's customization capabilities, transforming a purist's sports car into a highly personal statement.
"The 911 Carrera T 'Formosa' is more than just another sports car; it's a statement of individuality and a celebration of Taiwan," said Christian Nater, CEO of Porsche Taiwan. "Through the Sonderwunsch program, we have brought a distinct vision to life that captures the essence of the island. We are pleased to present this special vehicle to our discerning customers and the local Porsche community."
A Palette Inspired by Nature
The exterior of the 911 Carrera T "Formosa" is finished in Porsche’s Paint to Sample Ipanema Blue Metallic, a color chosen to symbolize the ocean surrounding Taiwan. This color is contrasted with details in Suzuka Grey Metallic, representing the rugged stone formations of the island's east coast, on the "PORSCHE" rear lettering, side window trim, and rear engine lid slats. The 20-/21-inch RS Spyder wheels are painted in Suzuka Grey Metallic with an inner rim bed of Vanadium Grey Metallic, creating a refined aesthetic that is further enhanced by the Exclusive Manufaktur Options HD-Matrix Design LED Headlights in Black and Exclusive Design Taillights.
An Interior of Detailed Craftsmanship
The cabin continues the narrative of Taiwan's landscape, with Paldao wood trim representing its natural landscape of mountains and greenery. The Full Bucket Seats are personalized with bi-color Truffle Brown and Black leather with distinctive Night Green stitching. A highlight is the newly developed "Formosa" chequered pattern, introduced for the first time on this vehicle, in a distinct combination of Night Green, Black, and Cream White. This bespoke pattern adorns the seat inserts and key elements of the fully leather-lined front trunk, which also features an embroidered "Formosa" lettering.
The sports car's unique identity is reinforced through several bespoke details. Illuminated door sill guards read "Formosa x Sonderwunsch," while the headrests feature an embossed "Formosa" logo that cleverly integrates a 911 Carrera T silhouette with motifs of the ocean's waves and the island's mountains.
"Every detail of the 'Formosa Project' has been carefully considered and executed," commented Christian Nater. "From the new chequered pattern to the bespoke embossing, this vehicle showcases the possibilities of the Sonderwunsch program and our dedication to fulfilling our customers' dreams."
Performance Meets Personality
Beneath its bespoke exterior, the 911 Carrera T "Formosa" retains the puristic performance that defines the model. With its lightweight construction, manual transmission, and sport-tuned suspension, the Carrera T is a true driver's car, well-suited for Taiwan's exciting and diverse roads. The Sonderwunsch program enhances this experience by adding a significant layer of personalization.
