Some cars are special because they’re fast. Others because they’re rare. This one? It’s special because it tells a story—and if you know Porsche’s history, it hits a little harder.
The 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 90 exists to honor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, better known as F.A. Porsche—the man who sketched the original 911 and unknowingly created one of the most enduring shapes in automotive history. This special edition marks what would have been his 90th birthday, and it’s clearly designed for people who care deeply about where Porsche came from, not just where it’s going.
Why F.A. Porsche Still Matters
Very few designers can claim they created something so timeless that it barely needed changing for more than 60 years. F.A. Porsche did exactly that with the original 911. Its silhouette became so deeply rooted in car culture that Porsche has spent decades refining it rather than reinventing it.
To celebrate that legacy, Porsche created the 911 GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, a limited-run model inspired directly by F.A. Porsche’s own G-body 911. Only 90 examples will be built, and every single one wears a bespoke color called F.A. Green Metallic, a modern interpretation of the Oak Green shade found on his personal car.
Subtle on the Outside, Meaningful in the Details
At first glance, it’s elegant rather than loud. The car rides on exclusive Sport Classic wheels finished in Satin Black, complete with center-lock hubs and the vintage 1963 Porsche crest. Around the back, a small gold “90 F. A. Porsche” plaque on the engine grille quietly confirms that this isn’t just another GT3.
The interior is where Porsche really leans into storytelling. The seat centers are trimmed in F.A. Grid Weave fabric, inspired by one of F.A. Porsche’s favorite sport coats—a wonderfully personal detail. That same fabric appears in the glovebox and frunk mat, while Limestone stitching contrasts beautifully with the Truffle Brown Club Leather interior. Even the open-pore walnut shift knob feels like a deliberate nod to old-school craftsmanship.
And Yes, Porsche Went All In
If you’re the type who loves hidden Easter eggs, this car is full of them. There’s an engraved plaque featuring F.A. Porsche’s signature beneath the shifter, another gold plaque showing the silhouette of the original 911, and a badge confirming each car as “one of 90.” The 90 Years F.A. Porsche logo is embroidered into the center armrest and rear headrests, just in case you forget how special it is.
Still a GT3 at Heart
Despite all the heritage touches, this is still very much a 911 GT3. The car is based on the GT3 Touring, which means no giant rear wing—just a cleaner, more understated shape. Under the hood sits the familiar naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, producing 502 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, exactly as Porsche intended it.
No gimmicks. No power bumps. Just pure GT3 goodness.
A Tribute Beyond the Car Itself
F.A. Porsche’s influence didn’t stop with the 911. In 1972, he co-founded Porsche Design, a studio that went on to shape everything from watches to eyewear. Porsche honors that side of his legacy with a Sport Chrono clock inspired by the legendary Chronograph 1, a watch originally created specifically for F.A. Porsche.
And here’s the best part: buyers don’t just get the car. They also receive a modernized Chronograph 1 wristwatch and a Porsche Weekender travel bag, completing what feels more like a collector’s set than a simple purchase.
Rare, Expensive, and Completely Intentional
Porsche will build just 90 cars, with one reserved for Mark Porsche, F.A. Porsche’s son. Pricing starts at a lofty $389,350, but buyers are offered a one-on-one personalization consultation to make sure every detail reflects their taste.
Production is set to begin in mid-2026, giving future owners a few months to prepare—financially and emotionally—for what is essentially a rolling tribute to one of the most important figures in Porsche history.
This isn’t a car designed to shout. It’s one designed to be understood. And if you understand it, Porsche made it just for you.
