The exquisitely reimagined Porsche 964, project name Chile 001, is a 400 hp iron fist in a purple glove.
, Singer Vehicle Design, Gunther Werks and Paul Stephens Autoart have come to the fore. They celebrate the 911’s classic curves, rather than grafting on supercar styling cues, and have, in many cases, abandoned the horsepower race in favor of naturally aspirated engines . The focus is on high fidelity, rather than playing it loud. Mark Riccioni, courtesy of Theon Design.
Commissioned by a blueberry farmer with a penchant for purple, Chile 001 is the same Viola metallic as the “30 Jahre” 964 Anniversary special edition. The paint looks almost black in the workshop, then pops with color when it emerges into the sunlight. Riding 10 mm lower than a 964 Carrera RS on deep-dished Fikse wheels , the modified 911 looks squat and perfectly stanced. Even without OTT aero add-ons, it bristles with latent aggression.
Hidden away, the power steering and air-con hardware have been moved to the front trunk to improve weight distribution.The door is the only exterior panel still made of steel, a requirement for crash protection. Open it and the blueberry bonanza continues with the interior. Deep and intentionally aged purple leather swathes the Recaro seats, pleated door cards and dashboard. It looks like something Stuttgart’s legendary department might have cooked up in the 1980s.
