A Porsche 911 Turbo S by Sonderwunsch, featuring various special specifications including Chromaflare paintwork.
A special edition Porsche (as part of the Sonderwunsch program) has been unveiled to commemorate Porsche's 75th anniversary in Australia.
The model is a 992.2 generation Porsche 911 Turbo S. It looks cool.
This special edition model is named "Land Down Under".
"Land Down Under" is a term used to refer to Australia.
Looking at this photo of the Porsche, it appears as though the beautiful reddish landscape of Australia is reflected below the car's stunning body color. However, in reality, this is a gradient body color achieved using Chromaflare paint, which changes color depending on the viewing angle and lighting.
Up until now, I'd only ever seen Porsche's Chromaflare paintwork with a gradient pattern running from the front to the back of the car, so this gradient running from top to bottom is something I've never seen before.
The upper part of the body is Southern Cross Blue, and the lower part is Terra Australis Red.
It's hard to see with the scenery in the background, so here's a rough crop of the image.
If we increase the brightness a little more, it looks like this. Hmm, even though the surrounding scenery is gone, it still looks like the color of the soil is reflected (lol).
Oh, I see.
But that's precisely why, just by looking at this Porsche, you can picture the magnificent, vast red landscape of Australia, or imagine a Porsche driving across the red landscape of Australia.
That's wonderful.
Apparently, this Chromaflare paint job took over 300 hours to complete.
And so I pictured the vast red landscape of Australia, but apparently, depending on the viewing angle and how the light hits it, it changes to the orange of the desert, the color of the sunset sky, the green of the eucalyptus trees, and the golden of the sunrise.
Looking at the rear view, even though the body around the muffler isn't made of titanium, it somehow gives the impression that the titanium has been heated and discolored.
And the special features of this 911 Turbo S Landdown Under aren't limited to just the paint job.
Additionally, Sydney-based artist Werner Bronkhorst created an illustration collection with an Australian theme, and these "miniature artworks inspired by Australian landscapes, wildlife, and culture" are scattered in various unexpected places throughout the car.
It's playful and nice.
This koala is cute ^^
The interior features a combination of Dark Night Blue leather and Coolibah Brown accents.
Incidentally, Coolibah is apparently the name of a type of eucalyptus tree.
The seat has 14,417 perforations, creating a unique pattern. I've never seen anything like it before!
The car features Australian silky oak wood trim, a dashboard, and door panels that depict a topographical map of the Blue Mountains.
Another extremely distinctive feature inside the car is the ceiling.
And this is amazing. It depicts the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere. What's more, the starry sky depicted is said to be the sky above Uluru in 1951, the year Porsche officially entered the Australian market.
What is that? It's absolutely wonderful. The person who came up with it is so romantic.
The steering wheel combines three colors: dark night blue, cooler brown, and neodymium, and features a Kalahari-colored 12 o'clock marker.
Also, although I don't have a photo, the rear spoiler of a Porsche 911 rises when it reaches a certain speed, right?
Apparently, the part of the spoiler that is only visible when the car is going over 80 km/h has the words "See ya later, mate" written on it.
That's way too playful!
The rear spoiler rising represents the moment of acceleration (or so it seems)... so it's a way of saying "see you later" to the person behind your car, which implies that the Porsche will instantly pull away from the car behind and speed off.
In addition, the car's roof (outside) features a "ghosting effect," where patterns appear to emerge from the paint depending on the viewing angle and light. This is apparently a first for Porsche.
Indeed, from certain angles, it looks like a normal, blank roof...↓
When the angle changes, the number '75' appears in a unique font designed by Werner Bronkhorst.
This "75" commemorates not only Porsche's 75th anniversary in Australia, but also Porsche Motorsport's 75th anniversary.
This Porsche 911 Landdown Under really made me feel like it was showing us, "You can do this kind of thing with a Sonderwunsch (car) too!"
It's already starting to look like a customization battle...
However, I am very happy to see so many different ideas, and I would like to use them as reference (I don't know what I'll be able to use them as reference, since I can't even begin to tackle something like Sonderwunsch (lol)).

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Since I got my hands on a Porsche 911, I've been completely hooked on Porsches and I can't stop loving them, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are the 911 Carrera (2/991), 911 Carrera Cabriolet & 911 Carrera T (1/992), GT3 (1/997) and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
