Sonderwunsch 911 Carrera T Pays Tribute to Taiwan’s Natural Beauty

• The Carrera T “Formosa” exterior reflects Taiwan’s coastlines and rock formations.
• Interior highlights include Paldao wood, bi-color leather, and a unique chequered pattern.
• The special 911 retains its lightweight construction, manual transmission and sports suspension.

Exotic brands are leaning hard into customization, and Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program is no different. To demonstrate just how capable this bespoke department is, it just unveiled the Formosa, a unique one-off that pays tribute to the landscapes of Taiwan. Named after the country’s 16th century moniker, meaning “Beautiful Island,” this unique Carrera T blends striking aesthetics with the purist performance the model is loved for.

For example, the paint color here is one of a kind called Ipanema Blue Metallic that’s meant to evoke the island’s surrounding Pacific waters. Suzuka Grey Metallic accents on the rear lettering, side window trim, and engine lid slats reflect the rugged rock formations along the east coast. RS Spyder wheels in Suzuka Grey Metallic with Vanadium Grey inner rims complement the palette, while black HD-Matrix LED headlights and Exclusive Design taillights provide a subtle yet sporty finish.

Inside, the narrative continues with Paldao wood trim representing Taiwan’s lush mountains. Full bucket seats are trimmed in bi-colour Truffle Brown and Black leather, detailed with Night Green stitching. The centerpiece is a newly developed “Formosa” chequered pattern in Night Green, Black, and Cream White.

It graces the seat inserts and the fully leather-lined front boot, embroidered with “Formosa” lettering. Illuminated door sill guards read “Formosa x Sonderwunsch,” while headrests carry an embossed 911 Carrera T silhouette intertwined with wave and mountain motifs. Porsche is clear to point out that these customizations don’t diminish performance at all.

This Carrera T retains the mechanical bits that make it special to begin with, including a manual gearbox, a sport-tuned suspension, and, of course, a 3.0-liter flat-six engine that makes 388 hp (289 kW) and 331 lb-ft (421 Nm) of torque.

It’s worth noting that Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program isn’t limited to brand-new cars. Recently, it revived a rare 2009 Cayenne GTS with its V8 and manual gearbox. In other words, whatever desires a customer has, Porsche can make those dreams come true.
