by German automaker Porsche is celebrating 75 years of presence in the Australian market by presenting four unique car models. Each is inspired by the characteristic landscapes of different regions of the continent. This collection showcases the extensive personalization possibilities offered by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur division and the Sonderwunsch program.
Uniqueness Available to Everyone
Interestingly, these cars are not strictly limited to single examples. Any client can replicate the exact same specifications through the official Porsche online configurator. The only things required for this are the time to select all the options and, of course, the appropriate budget.
North with the Panamera
The first model is based on the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Its design is inspired by the tropical rainforests of Queensland and the Northern Territory. The car’s exterior is finished in Emerald Green metallic paint, combined with 21-inch Neodyme-colored wheels and bright Acid Green accents on the brake calipers and hybrid emblems.
The interior is upholstered in Espresso-colored Club leather with Night Green stitching, Neodyme accents, and eucalyptus wood trim. The sedan also received illuminated door sills with the inscription “Go North,” a matching key, and floor mats with the 75th-anniversary logo. For greater practicality, the car is equipped with an optional Porsche Performance roof box.
East with the Taycan
The second model is based on the electric Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. It is inspired by the surf culture of Australia’s Pacific coast, places like Noosa, Byron Bay, Newcastle, and Sydney. The car is painted in Ipanema Blue metallic. The 21-inch high-gloss alloy wheels with black Crayon-colored aero blades are meant to resemble coral formations, and the Glacier Iceblue daytime running lights reflect the iris of the Pacific Blue Eye fish.
The beach theme continues inside, where the combination of black leather and Crayon-colored leather, according to Porsche, reflects “the warm sand and shade of Australia’s eastern beaches.” References to the sea are present in the form of Dark Night Blue leather inserts on the seats and Speed Blue stitching. The electric car is also equipped with a panoramic roof with Variable Light Control function, aluminum roof rails, a unique key, and illuminated door sills.
West with the Cayenne
The first SUV in the collection is based on the Cayenne S with a V8 engine. Its design is inspired by the expanses of the desert regions of Western Australia, landscapes that are around 4.4 billion years old. Externally, the car is painted in Ipanema Brown Metallic, complemented by white decals and 22-inch black alloy wheels with a silky gloss.
The model is equipped with an optional Off-Road package, which adds underbody protection, side skirts, additional protective plates, and even a compass on the dashboard. Aluminum roof rails with a roof box are installed on the roof. Inside, black leather is combined with Bordeaux Red inserts meant to evoke indigenous rock formations. Like the other special versions, this Cayenne has unique floor mats, keys, and illuminated door sills.
South with the Macan
The collection is completed by the fully electric Macan 4S. It pays tribute to the southern coasts of Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. The Gold Bronze Metallic paint is meant to reflect the cliffs along the Great Ocean Road, and the 22-inch RS Spyder wheels in Vesuvius Grey hint at the region’s rocky formations.
The electric SUV also received the Off-Road Design package, which includes protective plates in Vesuvius Grey. Glacier Blue accents appear in the matrix LED headlights and along the LED strip of the rear lights. Inside, referencing the volcanic landscapes of South Australia, black and chalk-beige leather is used, accentuated by orange highlights on the central sections of the seats, seat belts, door cards, and dashboard.
It is noteworthy that the legendary 911 model is absent from Porsche’s anniversary Australian collection. However, when the main theme is chosen as the four cardinal directions, the choice of cars was limited precisely by this concept. Such projects emphasize how deeply an automaker can immerse itself in the local cultural and natural context, transforming it into materials, colors, and details. This is not just a marketing move, but a demonstration of craftsmanship and attention to detail, often associated with high art. The ability to replicate any of these configurations through the website makes this “artistic” exhibition remarkably accessible to affluent enthusiasts, blurring the line between an exclusive show car and a series-produced vehicle that can be ordered.
