Porsche Philippines, represented by Autoextreme Performance Inc., has celebrated its 30th anniversary by unveiling a special edition 1-of-1 911 Targa 4 GTS. The car brand said that the special edition vehicle marks three decades of Porsche passion in the country, combining artisanal craftsmanship, Porsche heritage, and the latest T-Hybrid technology.
Porsche PH shared that the special 911 Targa 4 GTS is a vehicle that reflects “optimism, individuality, and ambition that continue to define both Porsche and the Philippine market.”
“This anniversary car celebrates an important milestone for Porsche Philippines. While we take pride in reaching this landmark, our greatest achievement has always been the relationships we’ve built along the way. The trust of our customers, the dedication of our employees, the support of our partners, and the friendships forged through a shared passion for Porsche have made these past 30 years truly meaningful,” said President and CEO of Porsche PH Roberto Coyiuto III.
“It is this journey that inspired the creation of our 30th Anniversary 911 Targa 4 GTS. More than a commemorative model, it is a tribute to our heritage while embracing the future of Porsche,” Coyiuto III added.
The special anniversary car was produced with the help of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, which is the car brand’s specialized customization and bespoke vehicle division located at Porsche’s headquarters in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Porsche said that the colors of a vibrant nation inspire the special 911 Targa 4 GTS. As such, the special 30th anniversary car comes with a Pastelorange exterior paint, a bright color that’s meant to represent the look of a tropical Philippine island sunrise.
Inside, the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS is integrated with distinctive design details to make it a stand-out model. The seats feature a classic checkered pattern from the past. It also has orange stitching that runs across the seats, doors, and dashboard to match the bright body color. The vehicle is also equipped with leather inserts as well as aluminium pedals and a Burmester sound system.

Meanwhile, Porsche PH also introduced the new 911 Turbo S. It is equipped with Porsche’s innovative T-Hybrid technology.
