Carmakers these days are known to get very excited about their fan following on social networking sites. Porsche, for instance, was so pleased when fans on its official Facebook page reached the 2 million mark that it commissioned a special Cayman S that featured the Facebook profile images of each and every 2 million fans on its body.
The Stuttgart based automaker, a few months back, grew to 5 million fans on Facebook. Once again Porsche came up with a way to celebrate the occasion. This time it asked the fans to provide their input in developing a special one-off model. That special car reached completion a few days back and now two lucky fans will get a chance to drive it.
The car is a one-off Porsche 911 Carrera 4S 5 Million Fans Edition. The car is painted blue and is adorned with white livery and wordings that read "5M Porsche Fans"
Underneath the bonnet, the special edition Porsche is a standard 911 Carrera 4S, powered by a 3.8 liter flat-six engine delivering 400 HP and 325 lb-ft of torque. The car can hit 96 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 297 km/h.
According to Porsche, the one-off model's combined fuel consumption is in accordance with EU 5: 11.0-10.5 l/100km, CO2 emission of 259-247 g/km.
The car has been further personalized with a blue illuminated brushed aluminium sill plate with the wordings "Personally built by 5 million Porsche fans" The same wordings also appear on a brushed aluminium dashboard trim stip.
According to Porsche the design details have been "Implemented with the finest craftsmanship, the components of the interior also convey the sporty and unique character of the car down to the smallest detail."
Aluminium further features on the interior of the door panel, on the center console and the PDK gear selector. The pedals are also made from aluminium.
Another highlight of the one-off Porsche are the white wheels. The 20 inch Carrera S wheels highlight the car's sporty appearance. "The wheel center caps with the coloured Porsche Crest is the perfect finishing touch for your 911 Carrera 4S. After all, true style is expressed in the small details," explains Porsche.
"The Aerokit Cup comprises a newly styled front apron with a distinctive front spoiler lip and a rear spoiler with a fixed wing on top. The components were refined in the wind tunnel to increase downforce on both axles and improve handling of the car at higher speeds."
Coming down to the part where Porsche wants the fans to get a chance to drive the car they helped develop at the Porsche Experience Center in Silverstone. Porsche explains on its Facebook fan page. "All you need to do is to show us how many public Porsche fans you have in your friend-list. The user with the highest number of Porsche Facebook fans in his or her friend-list will win the unique trip to Silverstone." More images in the gallery.
