The New York-based fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) has unveiled a custom Porsche 993 Turbo. It is the fifth classic car restored as part of ALD’s partnership with Porsche. The 993 Turbo is a legend in the world of sports cars, known for its sleek design and accessible performance. For this project, ALD borrowed upgrades from the high-performance 993 Turbo S. A Bold Mulberry Green Finish with Turbo S UpgradesThe Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo grabs attention with its Mulberry Green paint. This signature color for ALD covers not only the car’s body but also its 18-inch Porsche Turbo Twist wheels. Gold accents stand out on the black rims, adding a sleek touch. This design ties the car's bold exterior to its refined interior. ALD added parts from the 993 Turbo S to enhance style and performance. The front splitter, rear wing, and exhaust improve aerodynamics. Despite these changes, the car keeps its original 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine. This engine produces 408 horsepower, preserving the 993 Turbo’s heritage and driving feel. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires provide precise handling. Known for their performance, these tires are a trusted choice for Porsche. Director of Brand Management and Partnerships at Porsche AG Deniz Keskin says, “The 993 is an iconic member of the 911 family and a dream car for enthusiasts around the world. ALD’s take is a wonderful way of contributing to that enduring legacy.” A Refined Interior with Personal TouchesThe Mulberry Green theme continues inside the Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo. The exterior and the hard seatbacks are painted to provide a cohesive appearance. Gold accents, lambswool, and dark brown leather are used throughout the rest of the interior. The personalized gear knob is a noteworthy feature. It pays homage to ALD's origins by being shaped like the Unisphere from the World's Fair in Queens, New York. The attention to detail extends beyond the cabin. The frunk is lined with the same dark brown leather and lambswool, matching the interior. Custom logos on the steering wheel and headrests highlight the partnership between ALD and Porsche. The door sills feature the phrase, “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” paying tribute to the brand’s heritage. A Tribute to Queens with a Capsule CollectionThe Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo pays tribute to its Queens, New York, roots with thoughtful design details. Fans can view the car in person on November 22–23 at Aimé Leon Dore’s flagship store at 32 Broadwick Street in London. To complement the car, ALD is launching a capsule collection inspired by the Mulberry Green Porsche 993 Turbo. The collection includes apparel and accessories, with the Leather Club Jacket as the highlight. Nicola Ader, Director of Marketing & PR at Porsche Lifestyle Group, shared her thoughts on the project. “It has been a refreshing experience to work on this capsule with the ALD team,” she said. “The result is the perfect match for the car and a great way for both communities around the world to become part of this project.” The collection will be available online and in stores starting November 22. For the first time, Porsche Design of America will offer select items from the collection. These will be sold exclusively at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills, making it accessible to fans on the West Coast. Source: Porsche
