Porsche 944 Undergoes Custom Restoration in Aimé Leon Dore Collab

Timeless Collaboration

Aimé Leon Dore, renowned in the world of fashion, recently unveiled its fourth collaboration with Porsche, presenting a meticulously restored 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. The vehicle, resplendent in Guards Red with gold accents and a rich brown interior, harks back to the stylish aesthetics of the 1980s.

Exquisite Restoration Details

This restoration project spared no detail, with the exterior adorned in Guards Red complemented by period-correct gold decals and 17-inch "teledial" rims, exuding an air of retro sophistication. Inside, the cabin surpasses expectations, featuring a blend of tan leather and sienna brown Alcantara, embellished with the Aimé Leon Dore logo on the steering wheel and headrests.

Nostalgic Interior Features

Eschewing modern amenities, the interior retains its vintage charm with a reinstated Blaupunkt radio and cassette player, offering a nostalgic journey to 1986. Even the floor mats and lower door panels are crafted from alpaca fibers, enhancing the bespoke appeal of the restoration.

Authentic Performance Heritage

Despite the aesthetic enhancements, the core performance remains true to the original 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo specifications. Equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 217 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque, power is channeled to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, preserving the authentic driving experience.

Aimé Leon Dore's collaboration with Porsche extends beyond the vehicle itself, as showcased in the Doublemint short film series. In the latest installment, the Porsche 944 takes center stage, emphasizing its timeless allure and iconic design elements, capturing the essence of luxury and sophistication.
