Five Sonderwunsch 911 GT3 Touring cars in Yachting Blue mark Porsche New Zealand’s 50th anniversary, with individually designed details.
One car for each decade
Porsche New Zealand has marked its fiftieth anniversary with five bespoke 911 GT3 Touring models developed with the manufacturer’s Sonderwunsch division. The cars were announced in August 2026, with one allocated to represent each decade of the marque’s presence in the country.
The project is a local-market commemoration rather than a globally available production trim. Its limited run and individual detailing are central to the brief, so specifications should not be assumed to match every ordinary GT3 Touring.
A distinctive Yachting Blue finish
All five cars use Paint to Sample Yachting Blue, a colour that makes the connection with coastal travel immediately apparent. Anniversary emblems and specially selected interior details accompany the paint, creating a series with a common identity.
The specification also includes a signature associated with Sir Colin Giltrap, whose role in the marque’s New Zealand history is acknowledged by the project. The visual theme reflects local heritage and an owner-focused customisation programme rather than a mechanical link to a yacht.
Sonderwunsch beyond a colour choice
Porsche’s personalisation programme lets clients work with designers on individual finishes and detailing. In this edition, the company has combined a familiar sports-car silhouette with a small series of anniversary features and a country-specific story.
The resulting cars are intended as complete manufacturer-built examples, not aftermarket reinterpretations. Buyers examining a bespoke car should confirm the exact build sheet and local compliance rather than infer equipment from photographs alone.
A motoring story for yacht-minded travellers
New Zealand’s coastlines and touring routes give the Yachting Blue theme a natural geographical context for readers travelling by both land and sea. This remains a road-car anniversary feature, and the manufacturer has not presented the GT3 Touring as a boat-towing vehicle.
Porsche’s official New Zealand release supplies the number built, anniversary context and source-specific photography. Availability and purchase arrangements belong with the local manufacturer representatives rather than being inferred from the published edition.
