Swiss collector orders a fourth Taycan — Porsche builds a one-off in Nordic Gold

Full text

This special Taycan Turbo GT is finished in Paint-to-Sample Nordic Gold Metallic.

Contrasting the gorgeous shade of gold are high-gloss black accents.

Custom touches were made to the cabin, including leather, fabric, and Race-Tex.

Ordinarily, we see Porsche promoting wild 911 models built through its exclusive Sonderwunsch program , but as it happens, even buyers of the all-electric Taycan can pay extra to make their EV a true one-off. That’s exactly what the owner of this one has done.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

Porsche says the Swiss commissioner already had, not one, not two, but three Taycans in the garage before ordering this flagship Turbo GT. That is enough Taycans to run a small fleet, and the fourth now arrives as the flagship of the set. Why one person needs four is between the buyer and their accountant, not us.

Working with the Porsche Centre Lugano in Switzerland, and across several meetings with Sonderwunsch experts, the owner opted to have their sleek sedan finished in a stunning color known as Nordic Gold Metallic from the Paint to Sample program. This color was first launched with the 997-generation 911 and was inspired by a warm gold hue that Porsche had offered in the early 1970s.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("89c65a14-4682-4807-a4bb-5436c5361bee");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("f25825bd-1260-4574-84ce-2b26e315fad8");

}

});

It suits the Taycan exceptionally well, highlighting the gorgeous shapes that make up its body, including the wide rear hips and the aggressive hood. Contrasting the golden hue is gloss black on the wing mirrors, B-pillars, and the small lip spoiler. Satin black wheels can be hit and miss on a car, but the 21-inch forged units of this Porsche won’t be.

Compared to some projects we’ve seen from Porsche’s Special Wishes department, including a trio recently made to celebrate the release of Toy Story 5 , the cabin of this Taycan is quite restrained. The seats are finished in a combination of Black/Slate Grey Pepita fabric with Pebble Grey leather and black Race-Tex, contrasted by Crayon-colored contrast stitching and embroidered Turbo GT lettering.

Some flashes of color are present, including the outer ring of the Sport Chrono clock finished in the same Nordic Gold Metallic as the exterior. Light beige seat belts have also been fitted, while the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker also has a Mojave Beige finish.

“For many years, the Sonderwunsch programme has been the spearhead of our individualisation offering,” vice president of product and individualisation offering at Porsche Alexander Fabig said. “However, customising a Taycan to such an extensive degree at the customer’s request was new territory even for us.”
