An exclusive paint finish in Cherry Metallic or four other available shades, combined with gold emblems, creates an authentic 1950s look. The spear-inspired racing graphics on the front fenders are particularly distinctive and recall Porsche's roots in the world of motorsport. Another visual highlight is the Porsche Heritage emblem on the rear bonnet, reminiscent of the badge created to commemorate the Porsche 356's 100,000 km run. This vintage seal of excellence, with a modern twist, will grace the rear of all four Porsche Heritage Design models. The connection between past and present is also highlighted by the 1963 Porsche Crest on the hood, steering wheel, hub caps and car keys. The same historical coat of arms is engraved on the headrests of the chairs and on the key case. In addition, the standard 20- and 21-inch Carrera Exclusive Design wheels and classic-design black-painted brake calipers underline the vehicle's special character.

Its return revives the spirit of the era and the fashion of the 1950s. microfiber and extensive Exclusive Manufaktur leather trim. A metal badge on the dashboard trim panel carries an individual limited edition number.
