Porsche Sonderwunsch usually makes headlines for turning air-cooled 911s into rolling art pieces. Rarely do we see the brand extend that same exclusive treatment to its electric lineup. Yet here is a buyer who clearly didn’t care about convention. He owns three Taycans already. When he needed a fourth, he didn’t just buy a factory spec model. He told Porsche to build him something entirely new.
The commissioner is Swiss. He already had a small garage full of electric Porsches before ordering this Turbo GT. You might wonder why someone needs four identical EVs. Maybe he likes variety. Maybe he just really likes Porsche. Either way, the fourth car stands as the flagship. And it looks nothing like the other three.
Nordic Gold and Satin Black
The team at Porsche Centre Lugano handled this one-off. They sat down with Sonderwunsch experts. The goal was simple: make the Turbo GT look unique. The result is a paint job called Nordic Gold Metallic. It comes from the Paint to Sample program, which lets buyers commission colors outside the standard catalog.
This shade isn’t brand new. It harkens back to the 997-generation 991. Porsche originally inspired it with a warm gold hue from the early 1970s, back when the 911 first started taking off globally. Applying it to a Taycan feels like a smart move. The metallic flakes catch light across the wide rear hips. It highlights the aggressive lines of the hood. You wouldn’t think an electric sedan could look that sharp, but it does.
The contrast is sharp, too. Gloss black wraps the wing mirrors. It hits the B-pillars and the small lip spoiler at the rear. Then there are the wheels. 21-inch forged alloy units in satin black. Satin finishes can look muddy if not done right. On this Taycan, they work perfectly.
Inside the One-Off
Some Sonderwunsch builds go all out. Look at the Toy Story 5 cars Porsche recently unveiled. They are loud. This Taycan is restrained. The cabin uses Black and Slate Grey Pepita fabric. Pebble Grey leather adds texture. Race-Tex provides a grippy, sporty feel. Contrast stitching in Crayon ties it together. Turbo GT letters are embroidered into the headrests.
It isn’t devoid of personality. The outer ring of the Sport Chrono timer matches the exterior Nordic Gold. The seat belts are light beige. The 12 o’clock marker on the steering wheel is Mojave Beige. Small touches. They add life without screaming for attention.
Customization Takes Work
Alexander Fabig, Porsche’s vice president for product and individualisation, noted the effort required for this project. He said the Sonderwunsch program has long been the spearhead of customization. But taking a Taycan apart to this degree was new territory for him.
Customizing a Taycan involves different challenges than an ICE car. Battery systems. Software integration. Material compatibility. It wasn’t just swapping parts. It was rethinking the build from the ground up for one customer.
Most people buy a car and hope for the best. This guy bought three, then ordered a fourth that no one else will ever own. He didn’t ask for a special edition. He asked for his edition. That’s what Sonderwunsch does. It turns a mass-produced machine into a personal statement.
What happens to the other three? Probably sits in the garage. Collecting dust. Or maybe he drives them all. You won’t know. The owner stays private. The car stays unique. That’s the deal.
