Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) and Porsche have teamed up once again to present a special version of the iconic 993 Turbo. This new project was developed in collaboration with ALD Creative Director Teddy Santis, Marc Shammah, Justin Placek, and others.
The 993 Turbo, first recognized as a revolutionary sportscar in the 1990s, has been brought back to life through ALD's unique design. The car features a custom Mulberry Green exterior, a color that ALD has refined and developed over time. Upgrades inspired from the high-performance 993 Turbo S include a whale-tail rear wing, front splitter and improved exhaust. The exterior is completed by 18-inch Porsche Turbo Twist rims painted in the same Mulberry Green with gold accents, and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.
Inside, an elegant and monochromatic theme can be seen. The cabin is wrapped in dark brown leather and lambswool, along with hardback seats, theme-matching carpets, and custom logo embroidery on the headrests. The Unisphere-shaped brass gear knob — an iconic Queens landmark — is a symbol of ALD's New York roots. The door sills are engraved with the phrase, “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” commemorating ALD's origins.
In addition to the vehicle, ALD will also launch a capsule clothing collection titled 993 Aimé, inspired by this restoration. While no details have been released yet, the images show a pair of the New Balance 993 that is expected to release alongside the capsule collection.
The custom 993 Turbo will be officially unveiled on November 22–23 and will be on exhibition at ALD's London flagship store, located at 32 Broadwick Street.
