"When you consider the function of an object, the form usually emerges by itself," was the design credo of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, known as F. A. He had already implemented his vision of uncompromising reduction to the essentials with the legendary 911. In 1972, together with his brother Hans-Peter, he founded the design studio, which they named Porsche Design. The objects he created there quickly became classics of modern design, such as the Chronograph I wristwatch and the P'8478 sunglasses with their interchangeable lenses. F. A. Porsche would have turned 90 yesterday on the 11th of December 2025.
To mark the occasion, the Sonderwunsch experts have teamed up with his youngest son, Mark Porsche, to design a special commemorative model: the 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche. One example will go to Mark Porsche, and 89 more will be available to customers worldwide. "I'm sure that my father would have loved this very special 911," says Mark Porsche. "Through many details, we have incorporated my father's personal preferences into this exciting project. The F. A. Greenmetallic paint created especially for this model is reminiscent of the Oakgreenmetallic of his 911. The F. A. Grid-Weave fabric used for the seat centres echoes the pattern of his favourite jacket."
