It’s a fast-moving tribute to the culture, identity and history of the central European country of Moldova.Requiring almost 400 hours of painstaking manual work, it’s been created to celebrate 15 years of Porsche presence in Moldova. The project was brought together by Porsche Moldova, experts from Style Porsche and the renowned Porsche Sonderwunsch programme in Zuffenhausen. The result is an emotionally charged piece of storytelling in four-wheeled form – albeit one with a hugely powerful 510 PS (502 hp) under its bonnet. From its vibrant purple colour to unique interior elements, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” is a celebration of Moldovan culture and history',',',',','What is the Sonderwunsch programme?Sonderwunsch, which translates as ‘special request’ from German, is a Porsche programme that goes far beyond traditional individualisation.

Every idea must meet the brand’s rigorous quality, safety and design standards. Each car produced by the programme is infused with an emotional and highly personal quality. Finished cars can include hidden engravings, custom materials or subtle details that carry a special meaning for the person it was created for.And that’s certainly true of the 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life”. The special Violapurplemetallic (front) and Chromaflair Magic Magenta (rear) paint on the body of the Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” car is carried through to its wheels with stunning effect Photo: PorscheWhat does the ancient Tree of Life symbolise in Moldovan culture and heritage?The shimmering Violapurplemetallic (front) and Chromaflair Magic Magenta (rear) hues of the Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” is impossible to ignore. But the impact of the exterior of the car goes beyond its paint colour. The high-gloss Neodyme Tree of Life graphic accentuates the car’s special character.So what does Tree of Life symbolise? The ethos behind the Tree of Life is as ancient and culturally rich as the nation from which it originates, where it’s a common symbol in Moldovan folk art and textiles. The modern Tree of Life logo, as seen on this Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package, contains nine key elements representing the most important areas of the country’s culture and economy. There’s a rose – a folk symbol representing love, family and devotion. There are also branches that represent fruits and vegetables that celebrate Moldovan agriculture, as well as elements representing transport, energy, automotive and electronics business sectors. There’s even a small Wi-Fi symbol to represent connectivity. Other elements include basil, a favoured Moldovan herb; traditional textiles; and red and white wine glasses, as a reminder of the country's long-standing winemaking tradition. The 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” features a special Tree of Life graphic. It’s made up of nine design elements, each of which represent a different aspect of cultural or economic life in Moldova Photo: Porsche','The Tree of Life is an ode to heritage, memory and culture, representing the continuity of life, cyclical renewal and eternal youth, all wrapped up in one beautiful design. In the original logo, the tree emerges from the letter "M", symbolising Moldova’s fertile soil. This same detail has also been incorporated into the 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life”, with a letter "M" integrated into the centre of the front grille mesh. The highly individual Tree of Life graphic also appears in its interior, like the seat headrests, helping ensure design continuity throughout the car Photo: PorscheKey features of the Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life”Besides the Tree of Life graphic, a notable feature of the car’s exterior paint is its intricate colour gradient. Shifting from Violapurplemetallic at the front to Chromaflair Magic Magenta at the rear, these colours symbolise Moldova’s historic winemaking tradition, with its purple shades representing the wide variety of grapes grown in the country. Creating this eye-catching gradient – which extends to the car’s wheels – as well as the hand-painted Tree of Life graphic, required almost 400 hours of painstaking manual work. Further highlights of the car’s exterior include side accents in Neodyme, the letter "M" for Moldova integrated into the front grille mesh and the 20/21-inch 911 GT3 magnesium wheels, which are painted in Violapurplemetallic at the front and Magic Magenta at the rear, with black matt wheel centre caps bearing the Tree of Life logo in Neodyme. The paintwork and application of the Tree of Life design on the 911 GT3 with Touring Package took up to 400 hours. The car is another showcase of the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with the Sonderwunsch programme Photo: PorscheThe interior concept of the 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life”The symbolic nature of the Tree of Life continues inside the car. Its Lila leather seats are complemented by Ruby Star Neo accents and crossover stitching in Atacamabeige and Ruby Star Neo – colours that serve as further nods to Moldovan viniculture. Another standout feature is an interpretation of Pasha, the iconic Porsche pattern. You can see it in the car’s seat inlays and door centre panels, as well as in the glove and luggage compartments, while also incorporating elements of traditional Moldovan garments. Paldao wood inlays that feature in the car’s interior – including on the manual gear selector – are an homage to Moldova’s cultural crafts and natural habitat, while the use of the famous Porsche fabric, Pasha, even extends to the glove compartment Photo: PorscheFurther interior standouts of the Porsche 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” include Paldao wood inlays. These feature on the manual gear selector and Sports Seats Plus backrests and symbolise Moldova’s traditional crafts and natural habitat.The Tree of Life logo, once again, is a cohesive characteristic here.

A symbol of abundance and vitality proudly represented throughout this unique car.Watch the film about the 911 GT3 with Touring Package “Tree of Life” car911 GT3 with Touring Package (WLTP): Fuel consumption combined: 13.8 – 13.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 312-310 g/km; CO₂ class: G; Status 06/2026
