PRAGUE (June 2, 2026) – The Tree of Life – one of Moldova’s most recognizable cultural symbols – forms the central theme of this Sonderwunsch car. It symbolizes the country’s origins and traditions, continuity, and sustained growth – expressing the balance between heritage and progress. The Tree of Life model translates this symbolism into a holistic color and interior design approach.

Custom gradient paintwork and hand-painted artistry
The car’s exterior is characterized by an intricate, multi-layered gradient paint finish that transitions from Violapurplemetallic at the front to Chromaflair Magic Magenta at the rear. Inspired by the different stages of ripening grapes, the color concept references Moldova’s deeply rooted wine-growing tradition. Achieving this elaborate finish and such a perfectly balanced transition required an exceptional level of precision. The gradient continues on the 911 GT3’s 20-/21-inch magnesium wheels, which are painted in corresponding shades to reinforce the harmonious overall appearance of the car.

A key design element is the hand-painted Tree of Life graphic that extends across the front luggage compartment lid and roof of the car, and is executed in the color Neodyme Porsche Gold. Applied over the gradient paintwork, it ranks among the most technically demanding features of the entire project.

The precise coordination of the multi-layered paint finish and the hand-painted graphic required about 400 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. A subtle and personal detail further enhances the exterior: the letter ‘M’, visible in the grille of the front apron, serves as an elegant signature of Moldova. It is an integral part of the structure, precisely etched from the metal.

Interior inspired by Moldovan tradition
The cultural narrative continues in the interior through a carefully balanced interplay of materials, patterns and surfaces. Leather in Lila, complemented by accents in Ruby Star Neo, contrast stitching in Atacama Beige, and Pasha fabric in Ruby Star Neo and Atacama Beige, create a harmonious overall concept that links the interior and exterior. The cabin pays homage to the craftsmanship of traditional folk costumes through a modern reinterpretation of the classic Pasha pattern, which appears on the seat centers, door panels, and on surfaces such as the glove compartment and luggage area.

Paldao wood elements – including the manual gear lever with wood-finished knob and the backrests of the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus with decorative inlays – symbolize Moldova’s natural roots and traditional craftsmanship. Executed with great precision as part of the Sonderwunsch program, they further emphasize the culturally inspired design details.

A milestone for Porsche Moldova

“Porsche Moldova commissioned the ‘Tree of Life’ car to mark 15 years in the country, and we were honored to be entrusted with this project. I believe it can inspire customers and brand enthusiasts everywhere to discover what is possible when personal vision meets Porsche’s individualization offering.”

– Michael Kirsch, CEO of Porsche Central and Eastern Europe

The car was unveiled at an exclusive customer event at the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History in Chișinău. Following its premiere, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package ‘Tree of Life’ will remain on display at the museum as part of a dedicated exhibition before being showcased at Porsche Center Moldova.

Sonderwunsch: the pinnacle of Porsche’s individualization offering
Developed as an inspiration car within the Porsche Sonderwunsch program, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package ‘Tree of Life’ showcases the very latest individualization techniques. Colors, equipment, materials and both graphic and technical ideas, can be realized well beyond the scope of the configurator.

“Through our Sonderwunsch program, we aim to turn our customers’ visions into reality, thereby representing the pinnacle of Porsche’s individualization offering,” says Claas Hoops, Director Sonderwunsch. “Projects such as ‘Tree of Life’ challenge us to rethink colors, materials and processes from the ground up and to combine traditional craftsmanship with new technical solutions. In doing so, we seek to create unique vehicles that inspire further ideas.”

The Sonderwunsch program offers a wide range of individualization possibilities for both new and existing vehicles – from bespoke interior and exterior details to highly personalized overall concepts. The program also enables the development of technically unique one-offs, realized in collaboration with specialized design and engineering teams in Zuffenhausen.
