The 911 Carrera T “Formosa” pays homage to Taiwan’s natural landscapes, with a design narrative deeply rooted in the island’s scenery. The name “Formosa”, meaning “Beautiful Island”, was bestowed by 16th-century Portuguese sailors captivated by its verdant terrain.
A bespoke statement for the beautiful island Taiwan
Taiwan’s geography offers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes within a compact area – from the soaring central mountain range, home to some of the world’s most scenic driving roads, to the dramatic rock formations of the east coast and the vibrant Pacific waters. This interplay of mountain, stone, and sea inspired the project’s concept. The exterior colours evoke the ocean and coastal rock formations, while the interior reflects lush mountain greenery.
Christian Nater, CEO of Porsche Taiwan, comments
“The 911 Carrera T ‘Formosa’ is a statement of individuality and a celebration of Taiwan,” said Christian Nater, CEO of Porsche Taiwan. “Through the Sonderwunsch program, we have brought a distinct vision to life that captures the essence of the island.
Exterior: A palette inspired by nature
The 911 Carrera T “Formosa” features Porsche’s Paint to Sample Ipanema Blue Metallic, symbolizing the ocean surrounding Taiwan. Contrasting details in Suzuka Grey Metallic – on the Porsche rear lettering, side window trim, and rear engine lid slats – represent the rugged stone formations of the East Coast. The 20-/21-inch RS Spyder wheels are finished in Suzuka Grey Metallic, with an inner rim bed in Vanadium Grey Metallic. They are complemented by Exclusive Manufaktur HD-Matrix Design LED headlights in black and Exclusive Design taillights.
An interior of detailed craftsmanship
The cabin continues the narrative of the island’s landscape, with Paldao wood trim evoking its mountainous greenery. Full bucket seats are upholstered in bi-color Truffle Brown and Black leather with distinctive Night Green stitching. A highlight is the newly developed “Formosa” checkered pattern introduced in Night Green, Black, and Cream White. This bespoke pattern adorns the seat inserts and key elements of the fully leather-lined front boot, which also features embroidered “Formosa” lettering.
Illuminated door sill guards read “Formosa x Sonderwunsch”, while the headrests carry an embossed “Formosa” logo integrating a 911 Carrera T silhouette with motifs of ocean waves and mountain peaks.
“Every detail of the ‘Formosa Project’ has been carefully considered and executed,” added Nater. “From the new checkered pattern to bespoke embossing, this vehicle showcases the breadth of the Sonderwunsch program.”
Performance meets personality
Beneath its bespoke exterior, the 911 Carrera T “Formosa” retains the purist performance that defines the model. With lightweight construction, manual transmission, and sport-tuned suspension, the Carrera T is a driver’s car – ideally suited to Taiwan’s diverse and thrilling roads. The Sonderwunsch program adds a distinctive layer of personalization to this experience.
