And this car project is the jewel in the crown of customisation by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur." "That's why the significantly expanded Sonderwunsch programme is another milestone in terms of customer enthusiasm worldwide. "The unique customer experience is at the heart of the Porsche brand," according to Alexander Fabig, Vice President Individualisation and Classic at Porsche AG. Other features such as the rear wing and the gear lever were also reinterpreted and in part developed independently. In addition to the characteristic racing look in Summer Yellow, white and black, this special car has the winning race number 7 on its bonnet and doors. The Italian entrepreneur wanted to design a unique Porsche 911 GT3 (992) based on his Le Mans winning car and to be fully involved in its creation. Paolo Barilla, overall winner of Le Mans in 1985 in a private Porsche 956, has chosen a different, far more dynamic reminder of his greatest sporting success: on his 60 th birthday, he was the first customer to complete a car project together with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur as part of the new Sonderwunsch programme. Pictures, cups and racing suits – the typical mementos of a motor sport career.
