Al Boraq Automobiles chairman and CEO Salman Jassem al-Darwish said Porsche Exclusive offers handcrafted alterations to provide a highly individual touch in terms of design and performance.
The Porsche 911 Sport Classic was first presented at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, with only 250 cars worldwide - and just one in Qatar.
This very special 911 features a double-dome roof and striking SportDesign front apron, with its unique spoiler lip and a fixed rear spoiler modelled on the legendary ducktail of the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.
Powered by a 3.8-litre direct fuel injection engine, the Sport Classic produces 408hp for outstanding performance. The 911 Sport Classic comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox.
The 911 Speedster was also on show as part of the event. With a production run of just 356 worldwide, this new car is only the third 911 Speedster to go into production, following models launched in 1988 and 1993.
Its interior boasts a combination of black leather and various fittings from the Porsche Exclusive catalogue. Clients can choose between two exterior colours: Pure Blue, which has been developed specially for the new car, or Carrera White. The 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster is powered by the latest version of its 3.8-litre flat-6 cylinder engine.
It delivers 402hp and 310 pound-feet of torque. The gearbox is a seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox with a locking rear differential.
Other models on display included a Panamera 4S Middle East Exclusive Edition, 911 Turbo S, Cayenne Turbo and a Panamera Turbo S.
A team from Porsche Exclusive in Germany was present to give detailed descriptions of the models on display.
Porsche Exclusive was first introduced in 1986 to offer Porsche enthusiasts the chance of ultimate personalisation, giving customers the opportunity to create a truly unmistakable vehicle that reflects their personality and passions.
Operating from headquarters in Zuffenhausen, Germany, the 100 staff at Porsche Exclusive deliver the unique touches with leather, carbon fibre, wood and aluminium. Customers can select the materials, exclusive woods, paint colours and leather of their choice and plan their own Porsche – including wheel type and size, seating and audio options - using the Porsche Car Configurator online or face-to-face, which takes them through a host of options for interior and exterior styling.
Bespoke, manual work is the most important principle of Porsche Exclusive.
A separate, extensive Exclusive catalogue, showing examples of completely individualised vehicles besides the range of options, is available for many Porsche models.
Additional wishes can be discussed with local dealership or the Exclusive customer advisers in Porsche’s factories in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig.
