For more than 30 years, Porsche customers have been able to enjoy extensively customised individual pieces. The latest example being the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. A sports car limited to just 500 units. Individual and elegant. Patiently enhanced by hand in the new Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur department at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen. In the early days, vehicle customisation ex works was carried out by the special requirements department. In 1986 this was renamed “Porsche Exclusive”. Following the introduction of the small series, this department has rebranded as “Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur”.

▪ The customisation programme: Bespoke finishing
To date, some 40 percent of all 911s have been customised by Exclusive Manufaktur on average. In addition, every Porsche customer is offered at least two equipment options from the customisation programme when configuring their car. There are numerous design possibilities to fit a wide variety of customer requirements.

▪ Individual customer vehicles and equipment options
The customisation of production vehicles is the core competence of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. It relies on the interaction between craftsmanship and technology. With a wide range of visual and technical customisation options in the areas of external and internal finishes, lighting, wheels, engine and drive, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers an extremely broad palette of options with which to turn a special production vehicle into an individual and highly personal customer vehicle. Customers can choose from a large range of colours and sophisticated materials.

▪ Editions: Market-specific special models
To mark special occasions, the sales organisations of individual countries can choose to issue “editions” – vehicles adapted according to regional demand.

▪ Limited production runs: Porsche Exclusive Series
Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur also produces limited small series, which demonstrate the passion and skill of the entire Exclusive Manufaktur team. Limited small series may feature body modifications and extensive technical modifications as compared with enhanced standard vehicles and editions. These vehicles combine high quality materials with modern production techniques to produce a harmonious overall concept.

Porsche has produced exceptional collector’s items according to this maxim in recent decades, for example the 911 Sport Classic from 2009, which was limited to 250 units. This vehicle combines tradition and modernity in typical Porsche style. One year later, in 2010, Porsche presented the 911 Speedster, a tribute to the 356 Speedster limited to 356 pieces. Taking the Panamera Turbo S Executive as a basis, between 2014 and 2015 Porsche created a limited small series of the Panamera model line. The Panamera Exclusive Series was limited to a run of 100. Porsche is now continuing this tradition with the new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series.

▪ Craftsmanship
The philosophy has remained the same throughout the years: Master craftsmen work tirelessly to create unique Porsche sports cars. That’s why there are highly-qualified Exclusive Manufaktur craftspeople at every Porsche production site, especially at the headquarters at Zuffenhausen. These employees set about implementing customer ideas with great care. Hands are often the only tools that meet Porsche’s high requirements.

▪ Customer consultation
At the factory in Zuffenhausen – the heart of the brand – customers visiting the Exclusive Manufaktur Studio receive personal advice from experts with extensive knowledge of all the options and vehicle models. The Exclusive Manufaktur customer consultation team has access to a unique collection of material and colour samples. In addition, customers can experience one-of-a-kind Porsches in the extensive vehicle exhibition. Another highlight of any visit to Zuffenhausen is a tour of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in the historic “Rössle building”.

The personal advice from Zuffenhausen can also be enjoyed all over the world, in the Exclusive Manufaktur Studios in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Dubai and Shanghai. If desired, customers can of course choose to have a consultation at the Porsche Centre of their choice or in their own home.
