The newest Porsche to wear a heavy legacy lightly is the 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche, a limited Sonderwunsch creation that nods to Ferdinand Alexander Porsche without tipping into costume. It is based on the GT3 with Touring Package, so the silhouette stays clean and the rear spoiler stays discreet. The intent is clear. This is about restraint, proportion and feel, not lap-time braggadocio.
The color sets the tone. F. A. Greenmetallic is a modern take on the Oak Green he drove in the 1980s, deep and elegant in low light, crisp in the sun. It is also the first Porsche to wear a new Paint to Sample label on the A pillar, a tiny stamp of the bespoke process behind it. Satin black Sport Classic wheels echo classic Fuchs patterns, with center locks and the 1963 crest on the hub covers. A galvanised gold badge on the rear grille quietly announces 90 F. A. Porsche. Subtle from a distance, very considered up close.
Inside is where the tribute becomes personal. Truffle Brown Club Leather and Chalk Beige stitching give that warm, studio-like calm that F. A. favored. The seat centers use a five-color Grid-Weave fabric that riffs on his favorite jacket, a tactile pattern repeated on the glove box, a briefcase and even the luggage compartment mat. Your hand lands on a walnut plywood gear knob that wears his signature, and a gold plaque across the dashboard pairs a stylised original 911 silhouette with the words One of 90. The Sport Chrono clock pays homage to the Chronograph 1 he wore, a detail that is easy to miss at first then impossible to ignore.
Underneath the elegance sits the familiar GT3 heart, a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat six with 510 PS and 450 Nm. In Touring guise the aero is quiet and the soundtrack is not. This is the GT3 that slips into the city without a wing in your rear-view, then clears its throat as the revs climb. The character is more grand tour than pit lane, yet the fundamentals remain unfiltered Porsche: precision steering, a chassis that reads the road like Braille, an engine that rewards commitment.
Collectors will notice the extras, and Porsche has been thoughtful rather than cynical. Each car includes an exclusive Porsche Design Chronograph 1. The lume is tuned to evoke aged radium, the historic logo returns to the clasp and crown, the day-date window carries initials where a logo would sit and the rotor mirrors the car’s wheels. The titanium case is black coated, COSC certified and paired with a quick-change leather strap that matches the cabin. There is also a Truffle Brown weekender with the Grid-Weave lining and, charmingly, a reissue of the Porsche Junior sled in carbon with a Kevlar core, painted in F. A. Green and limited to 90.
Only 90 cars will be built by Porsche Sonderwunsch. One is spoken for by Mark Porsche, who helped shape the spec. The rest open for order in April 2026, with production in the second half of the year after buyers finish their own individual touches. That timing will frustrate the impatient, but the point of a car like this is to live with the process as much as the product.
Verdict: the 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche is not a greatest-hits remix, it is a considered album cut. A tasteful color, purposeful wheels, a fabric with a story and an engine that needs no introduction. Some will find the brown leather and gold accents a bit clubby, others will love that it refuses to shout. Either way, it captures the best of F. A.’s approach. Form follows function, and when the function is joy, form can be beautiful.
