Porsche Cars Australia has revealed a one-off 911 Turbo S created through the Sonderwunsch program to mark 75 years of the marque in Australia, with its design drawing from the country’s landscapes, colors, and southern sky.
Named the 911 Turbo S Land Down Under, the car was developed by Porsche Sonderwunsch, the Style Porsche design team, and Sydney-based contemporary artist Werner Bronkhorst. Its centerpiece is a hand-applied Chromaflair gradient inspired by an Australian outback sunset, transitioning from Terra Australis Red across the lower body to Southern Cross Blue above the shoulder line.
“The goal with our Sonderwunsch programme is to translate highly personal dreams into automotive reality” - Alexander Fabig, Vice President Product and Individualisation Offering at Porsche AG.
Porsche has a long history with this bespoke work, and you can see the same paint technology on the Chromaflair Turbo S it showed at Fuori Concorso back in 2024. For this latest commission, both colors were developed exclusively for the commission, making this the first Porsche in Australia to feature two newly created Chromaflair finishes.
The pigments use ultra-thin flakes with reflective aluminum cores encased in transparent, glass-like layers, allowing the paint to shift between desert orange, blue, eucalyptus green, and gold depending on the light and viewing angle. Applied across seven layers, the finish required more than 300 hours of work by hand.
A subtle ghosting technique reveals the number 75 within the roof paint using Bronkhorst’s own font, while the phrase “See ya later mate” is hidden beneath the rear spoiler. The message becomes visible only when Sport Plus mode is engaged, or the rear wing deploys automatically above 80 km/h (50mph).

Inside, Dark Night Blue leather pairs with Coolibah Brown, a bespoke shade developed specifically for the project. Hand-finished Australian Silky Oak wood appears across the dashboard and rear-seat inlays, while topographical contour graphics of the Blue Mountains are printed across the upper dashboard and side trim.
The roof lining carries an embroidered map of the Southern Hemisphere sky exactly as it appeared over Uluru in 1951, the year Porsche first arrived in Australia. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, sits in the desolate outback of the Northern Territory.
The 18-way Adaptive Sports Seats Plus feature 14,417 individually positioned perforations arranged to echo the texture of Bronkhorst’s brushstrokes, while the headrests are embossed with a 75 Years Porsche in Australia motif.
Bronkhorst also created a series of miniature artworks depicting Australian fauna and human-inspired motifs, placing them in unexpected spots throughout the cabin, the bodywork and the Fuchs-style center-lock wheels. The approach turns the car into something that reveals more of its story the longer it is examined.
Underneath the bespoke paint sits the 992.2-generation 911 Turbo S, identifiable by the vertical slats in its front bumper intakes and positioned at the top of the contemporary 911 range. Its twin-turbocharged flat-six combined with Porsche T-Hybrid tech sends 701 horsepower to all four wheels through an eight-speed PDK, allowing for a new Nürburgring time of 7:03.92, which is 14 seconds quicker than its predecessor. This one-off commission builds on what is the most powerful production 911 built to date.
