Hot on the heels of Audi’s awesome Nogaro Blue revival comes word via the Porsche Facebook page of a new 911 Turbo by Porsche Exclusive. The special creation is painted in Lime Gold Metallic and we really want to hate it. But on the outside, at least, the unique colour is not that bad.
The subtle gloss black details complement the very nice alloy wheels really well and overall the outside does look quite good if you take the time to appreciate the finer points.
Inside, though, we’re not fans. The 911 starts with a brown interior—why is that even a option?—and is then festooned with gold bits all over the place. It just looks horrible.
In Porsche’s own words:
Since 1986, Porsche Exclusive offers almost endless possibilities to personalize your Porsche. One of the latest examples is this 911 Turbo in Lime Gold Metallic. As you can see in this gallery the exterior colour is not its only special feature.
“Special feature”? Well, we do suppose the reaction of a sharp intake of breath followed by the words, “My god that’s awful” could be considered a special feature.

I actually prefer the interior. Would be better if the body was white.
Will sell in china
Lol will be hot seller in dubai too if there is an option to gold plate break calipers
Reminds me of the 930 Turbos from the 70s and 80s. Tan interior, Fuchs-like wheels, gold paint with dark window sills… yep… 930 revisited – would be nearly 40 years since the first one was released. I wouldn’t necessarily buy this car (perhaps a white one as suggested by @Charlie), but I certainly appreciate Porsche’s efforts to continually revisit their history and keep it modern and relevant in the current iterations of the 911 and other models.
The inside kind of reminds me of a 70’s celica.. i like it 🙂
Ha…. I had a brown celica from the 70’s. Loved it and I love this interior, looks great against the gold. But then again… I am colourblind!
