Settle on buying yourself a Porsche 911 and you’ve still got a ways to go, narrowing it down to the exact model you want. That’s because - with various drivetrain, transmission, body-style, aspirations and other parameters to specify - the iconic rear-engined sports car can be had in about two dozen different variants.
Most of them come straight from the factory, some (like the Speedster and Sport Classic) come from the Exclusive division while others (like the GT3 and GT2 models) are products of the company’s motorsport division. But this one comes from a dealership - one specific dealership, in fact.
It’s called the Carrera GTS B59 Edition. It’s factory-authorized and exclusive to Brumos Porsche of Jacksonville, Florida. It’s a tribute model to Hurley Haywood, who took the checkered flag for Porsche at the Daytona 24 Hours four times in the 1970s and once again in '91.
The special neun-elfen starts out with the already-special 911 Carrera GTS, with its 408-horsepower flat-six and Sport Chrono Package Plus, and decks it out in Carrera White with unique blue and red stripes up the side and along the flank, where it highlights the retro manufacturer decal. The door mirrors and 19-inch Fuchs-style wheels are painted black, while inside, the red and blue theme continues with contrasting stitching on the wheel and levers.
Only five examples will be offered exclusively through Brumos Porsche, at a price of $133,540. With those figures, chances are slim that you’ll ever see one up close, so better check it out now in the high-res image gallery and the press release after the jump.Continue reading Brumos Porsche honors Hurley Haywood with exclusive 911 Carrera GTS B59 Edition
