Porsche 993 Turbo × Aimé Leon Dore
Chic mulberry green exterior
The exterior color is a deep green “Mulberry Green,” a chic color that is paired with wheels accented with bright gold.
Aimé Leon Dore was founded in New York in 2014 by creative director Teddy Santis. A self-taught fashionista, Santis’s apparel series is inspired by the diverse culture of New York and combines classic style with a modern flair, earning him worldwide acclaim.
The subject of their restoration project is the highly sought-after Type 993, the last 911 to feature an air-cooled engine. The turbocharged 993 Turbo set new standards in the sports car world in terms of performance, handling, and durability. Aimé Léon Doret has used his expertise in the restoration to bring the car back to life in both visual and technical beauty.
During the intensive restoration process, distinctive elements of the 993 Turbo S, such as the Turbo S spoiler, were incorporated to achieve a sportier exterior. Furthermore, the addition of a Turbo S exhaust and front splitter also improved driving performance and aerodynamics. The exterior color chosen was a chic Mulberry Green.
The 18-inch Porsche Turbo Twist wheels are finished in Mulberry Green to match the exterior, with gold accents surrounding the rim. Tire partner Michelin offers 18-inch Pilot Sport PS2 wheels for the 993 Turbo.
Brown interior with brass accents
The interior is finished in dark brown and mulberry green, with a brass gear knob and meter rings adding a vibrant accent.
Aimé Léon Dore’s sophisticated design language continues inside, featuring dark brown leather, lambswool accents, and hardback seats. The seatbacks are painted the same Mulberry Green as the exterior, while the carpet, floor mats, seats, and instrument cluster are finished in dark brown.
The steering wheel and headrests feature custom Aimé Léon Doret and Porsche logos, highlighting the long-standing partnership between the two brands. The brass Unisphere gear knob and meter rings add a unique touch to the interior. The door sills are engraved with the words “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” a nod to Aimé Léon Doret’s brand roots and inspiration.
Denise Keskin, Director of Brand Management & Partnerships at Porsche AG, commented on the collaboration with Aimé Léon Dore:
“We are thrilled to present the latest in our partnership with Aimé Léon Doret. The 993 is an iconic member of the 911 family and a dream car for many enthusiasts around the world. The 993 Turbo by Aimé Léon Doret is a wonderful tribute to its enduring heritage.”
