Optional lettering for the 911 S/T
Porsche enthusiasts will know about the Porsche 911 S/T, a special model released to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911. It is equipped with the 911 GT3 RS engine with a manual transmission and is limited to 1,963 units worldwide.
This is one of the models that is generally considered very difficult to obtain, and the selling price in Japan for the vehicle alone is 41.18 million yen.
In reality, option prices are added to this, making this model one of the most expensive 911s.
If, by some chance, someone were to be given the opportunity to own this precious Porsche 911 S/T, I think that that person would seriously engage with the configurator and spend time creating a cool specification that they would be satisfied with.
If it were me, I would sit upright and configure it (laughs).
Now, I came across an article (overseas) about someone who actually purchased and took delivery of a 911 S/T, which is probably what those who were given a slot would diligently go to the configurator for.
The car he drives is this beautiful black Porsche 911 S/T.
The owner of this Porsche seems to be a very humorous person, and the cool appearance of this 911 S/T seems to change slightly once you open the door...
This owner had certain words inscribed on both the left and right door sills.
This door sill (the frame part at the bottom of the door that can be seen when you open the door) can be engraved with any text you like by paying an optional fee for Porsche. It can be your name or anything you like as long as it is within the set number of characters.
I didn't know this, but it seems that offensive words (maybe F-words?) and phrases are automatically rejected. Well, I guess Porsche wants to maintain a minimum level of quality.
So, what words did this person write here? It may be difficult to understand in Japan, but the words "Live Laugh Love" are written on one of the door sills.
A literal translation would be "live, laugh, love," a positive phrase, but recently this phrase has also been used somewhat sarcastically.
And on the opposite door sill are the words "Your Mom," which may also be difficult to understand in Japan.
This is a pretty silly exchange, similar to how in any country when someone insults you and you retaliate by saying something bad about their mother, but I think of it as being used more as a joke to make fun of the other person than a serious provocation.
The phrases added to the door sills might make Japanese people think, "??? What's so funny about that?", but people from English-speaking countries might think, "That's just too silly!" and wonder how they could have put these words on such a high-end, rare Porsche.
No, seriously. I don't have the courage (or financial sense?) to include such a joke in S/T!
Finally, here's one more thing.
I think this is easy to understand.
The armrest in the center of the driver's seat and passenger seat. You can also add any text you like to this option, and here is the text he added:
Yes, that phrase is "Elbow Here." It means "Put your elbow here."
No no no, it's still too stupid (lol). This is S/T!!!
There are many courageous people in the world.
