Porsche celebrates Nürburgring’s 100th anniversary with the limited 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring, a green-accented homage offering optional Manthey performance upgrades; it keeps the 4.0L flat-six with PDK or a six-speed manual, delivering up to 1,190 lb of downforce at 177 mph. Only 100 units for Germany, deliveries in 2027, with pricing TBA and a Sonderwunsch Manthey experience.
Porsche’s Sonderwunsch division reveals the Flachbau RS, a street-legal modern 911 slantnose built from a 2018 GT2 RS for a European client at several million dollars. The car dons new front-end aero, a lighter interior with no infotainment, and a rear wing adjustable to 1,221 pounds of downforce, while retaining the 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six for 700 hp. It weighs about 70 pounds less than a stock GT2 RS and has undergone extensive validation—wind tunnels, virtual crash tests, endurance runs, and 50 Nürburgring laps—to meet road-legal standards. A bold factory-backed one-off that nods to the classic Flachbau lineage rather than a production model.
Porsche's Sonderwunsch program has turned the 911 GT2 RS into a modern slantnose with the one-off Flachbau RS, inspired by the 935/78 Moby Dick, featuring redesigned front fenders, ultra-slim vertical headlights, a Manthey aero package, and a taller rear wing; the powertrain remains the same 700 hp/553 lb-ft 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six, while the car sheds about 70 pounds versus a GT2 RS Weissach through interior and equipment reductions, delivering up to 1,221 pounds of rear downforce at up to 211 mph; it debuted at The Quail and is not intended for mass production.
Porsche's Sonderwunsch division built a one-off 991.2 GT2 RS called Flachbau RS, a road-legal slant-nose homage to the 935 Moby Dick designed by Grant Larson. It adds new aero elements, revised front wings, louvres, and a three-position rear wing delivering up to 554 kg downforce, while shedding about 31.6 kg. The drivetrain remains near-stock (roughly 700 hp, 553 lb-ft, 0–62 mph in 2.8 s, 211 mph) with a stripped interior and lighter wiring. It completed 50 Nürburgring laps for validation with Manthey aero work, confirming stability at speed while keeping road legality.

All feature hundreds of hours of hand-painting and bespoke details, and proceeds go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and Starlight Children’s Foundation.
Porsche Classic’s Sonderwunsch program has turned a 2025 911 S/T into a modern tribute to the 1972 Camel GT car, using Phoenix Red with Signal Yellow accents, matching the original’s wheel asymmetry with one-off Manthey Racing GT3 RS aerodisc covers, and adding subtle Camel sponsorship easter eggs inside. Power remains a stout 518-horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with a six-speed manual, though the build is not for sale and is offered as a commission project through Porsche Classic.
Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program custom-built a 2025 911 S/T inspired by a 1972 Camel GT Challenge racer (Equipe de Course Marc Dancose): Phoenix Red with Signal Yellow accents, Camel branding, and interior camel motifs; Manthey rear aero discs are included but not homologated for street use and must be removed for public-road driving; the livery uses flowing graphics rather than exact race stickers, and Porsche has not disclosed the customization cost.

The 911 Dakar, known for its off-road capabilities, debuted two years ago alongside the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, sparking interest in rally-style supercars, though Ferrari has yet to join this trend.
