The Porsche 993 Turbo by Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) represents a fusion of Porsche’s engineering excellence and the New York fashion label’s refined aesthetic. As the fifth collaboration between Porsche and ALD, this restoration reimagines the classic 993 Turbo, celebrated as the last air-cooled Porsche 911, blending high-performance engineering with luxury design.
Key performance enhancements include elements from the Turbo S model, such as the spoiler, exhaust, and front splitter, improving aerodynamics and downforce. The car’s standout Mulberry Green exterior, complemented by gold-accented 18-inch Turbo Twist rims, exemplifies Porsche’s timeless elegance while introducing a bold new color palette. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, known for their exceptional grip, complete the performance-focused enhancements.
The interior of this one-of-a-kind car emphasizes sophistication and bespoke craftsmanship. Dark brown leather upholstery, lambswool accents, and Mulberry Green-painted seat backrests create a harmonious design.
Unique details, such as a brass Unisphere gear knob and custom logos, underscore the collaboration’s meticulous attention to detail. The door sills’ inscription, “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” reflects ALD’s origins and ethos.
While this unique Porsche is not for sale, an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the car is available. The collection, featuring items like a Leather Club Jacket, launches on November 22nd in-store, online, and at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills.
This collaboration not only honors the legacy of the 993 Turbo but also demonstrates the seamless integration of fashion and automotive design.
