The 993 Turbo holds a special place in sports car history. It's the final iteration of Porsche's air-cooled engines and set new standards for performance, handling, and durability with its powerful twin-turbo powertrain.
ALD's restoration gives the classic car both a visual and technical revival. The team added a spoiler, exhaust, and front splitter from the 993 Turbo S, enhancing the car's looks and improving its aerodynamics. The 18-inch Porsche Turbo Twist rims got a fresh coat of Mulberry Green paint with gold accents, complemented by 18" Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

Inside, the 993 Turbo's interior got a luxurious makeover. Dark brown leather covers the seats, carpets, floor mats, and instrument cluster. The team added lambswool accents and painted the seat backrests in Mulberry Green. Custom touches include an Aimé Leon Dore and Porsche logo on the steering wheel and headrests, a brass Unisphere gear knob, and door sills inscribed with "A team from outta Queens with the American dream".
Deniz Keskin, Director Brand Management and Partnerships at Porsche AG, shared his thoughts on the project:
"It's great to see the latest installment of our partnership with Aimé Leon Dore. The 993 is an iconic member of the 911 family and dream car for so many enthusiasts all around the world. ALD's take is a wonderful way of contributing to that enduring legacy."
To go along with the car, ALD has created a capsule collection inspired by the exclusive Mulberry Green Porsche 993 Turbo. The collection includes a range of apparel and accessories, featuring a long-awaited Leather Club Jacket. Fans can get their hands on the collection starting November 22nd, both in-store and online at Aimé Leon Dore. West Coast fans can find a select range at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills.
Nicola Ader, Director Marketing & PR Porsche Lifestyle Group, expressed excitement about the collaboration:
"It has been a refreshing experience to work on this capsule with the ALD team. The result is the perfect match for the car and a great way for both communities around the world to become part of this project."
This latest project from Aimé Leon Dore and Porsche continues to blend the worlds of fashion and automotive design, creating unique experiences for fans of both brands.
