- This 911 S/T has the same color scheme as a successful 1972 race car.
- Porsche has also added the rear wheel aero discs sold by Manthey.
- A slew of custom touches have been added to the sport car’s interior.
For many, owning and driving a car as exclusive and desirable as the new Porsche 911 S/T is the stuff of dreams. But for those who want something even more rarefied, Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program offers virtually limitless customization options, turning an already extraordinary machine into something genuinely one-of-a-kind.
This 911 S/T is one of the latest to emerge from the Special Wishes program. Unbeknownst to many, the current 911 S/T takes its name from an iconic model produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the owner of this particular example drew design inspiration from one of the originals. Not just any S/T, either, but a 1972 model raced by the Canadian team Equipe de Course Marc Dancose in the Camel GT Challenge.

That car was customized for motorsport use and finished in a special shade of Phoenix Red with a bright yellow front bumper. It went on to compete in 27 races before being retired following an accident in 1978.
The Camel Behind The Camel
The Camel GT Challenge was an IMSA-sanctioned series for sports cars and prototypes, running from 1971 across circuits in the US and Canada, with everything from short sprints to 24-hour endurance races. By 1972, tobacco brand Camel had stepped in as title sponsor, which explains both the name and the camel imagery woven into this build.
As Porsche puts it, tobacco advertising may have been everywhere in the 1970s, but “the topic is a little taboo when it comes to a Sonderwunsch model made in 2025.” Even so, the camel still made the cut, just without the cigarettes.
Just like the original, this 2025 model has been painted in a matching shade of Phoenix Red with Signal Yellow on the front bumper. Unlike another Sonderwunsch 911 S/T models that faithfully replicated the livery of a car raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this one doesn’t reproduce the original’s stickers and racing graphics.
Modern, But Classic
Instead, it wears a flowing graphic pattern that blends Phoenix Red with Signal Yellow, sweeping across the hood and along the sides. The car also features the rear aero discs developed by Manthey Racing for the 911 GT3 RS, though since they aren’t officially homologated for the S/T, they have to come off whenever the car is driven on public roads.
Moving on to the interior, bespoke touches continue inside, where the headrests carry an intricate embroidered design outlining circuits at Sebring, Daytona, Indianapolis, and Lime Rock Park, alongside the iconic yellow Camel logo. A camel motif also appears on the center console lid and the puddle lamps.
Porsche hasn’t revealed what this level of personalization costs, though if you need to ask, the Sonderwunsch program probably isn’t for you.
