To mark its 40th anniversary, Porsche Ibérica has unveiled the Cuarenta Edition, featuring unique exterior and interior colors, exclusive logos inspired by Iberian history, and collaboration between Porsche Ibérica, Style Porsche, and the Sonderwunsch Team in Zuffenhausen.

In 1984, Porsche became a subsidiary in Spain, transitioning from an importer and reflecting its strong connection with Iberian enthusiasts. To commemorate these four decades, Porsche presents an exclusive, highly individualized edition of the 911, embodying meticulous design and contemporary Porsche luxury. Each car is a work of art, created to fulfill the dreams of a select group of future owners.

Inspired by Iberian Culture and Tradition

“The idea behind the Cuarenta Edition was to create a 911 that could have been ordered by a Spanish or Portuguese customer 40 years ago and that is still fashionable and desirable today,” says Alexander Fabig, Vice President of Individualisation & Classic at Porsche.

For the Cuarenta Edition, Porsche created a bespoke Quercusverde color, inspired by Spanish and Portuguese holm oak leaves. The hand-painted anniversary logo features the Quercus tree. Distinctive elements include a “911 40” logo on the B-pillar, silver rear logos, aluminum window trims, Black Satin fender flares, and red rear lights, with Black Satin stone guard film nodding to 1980s 911s.
The interior features a two-tone combination of Truffle Brown and Cohiba Brown leather, referencing Iberian saddlery craftsmanship, with a bespoke Tartan textile on the seat center inlays in Truffle Brown, Cohiba Brown, Crayon, and Quercusverde.
The Cuarenta Edition features elegant cross-stitching in Crayon and Truffle Brown on the dashboard and upper door panels, highlighting the luxurious interior. Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (18-way) and rear seats are upholstered in Cohiba Brown leather with Tartan textile centers, Crayon piping, and Cuarenta embossing on the headrests.
