Aimé Leon Dore continues its partnership with Porsche, unveiling a custom Porsche 993 Turbo that celebrates both brands’ commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. This bespoke project—the fifth restored model in their collaboration—pays homage to New York while blending ALD’s minimalist design ethos with Porsche’s iconic engineering.

The Porsche 993 Turbo, often hailed as a pinnacle of sports car design, receives a striking makeover. ALD incorporated Turbo S elements like its signature spoiler, exhaust system, and front splitter, enhancing both aerodynamics and the car’s dynamic profile. The exterior is painted in Mulberry Green, a bold yet sophisticated hue, complemented by 18-inch Turbo Twist rims detailed with gold accents. Michelin’s Pilot Sport PS2 tires round out the look, ensuring top-tier performance.
The interior, equally impressive, features dark brown leather upholstery with lambswool accents for added luxury. Seats with Mulberry Green backrests, monochromatic detailing, and custom branding—such as ALD and Porsche logos on the steering wheel and headrests—highlight the unique partnership. A brass Unisphere gear knob and an inscribed door sill reading, “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” give a personal touch that ties the car back to ALD’s roots.
“This collaboration has been a fantastic way to honor the legacy of the 993 Turbo while reimagining it through ALD’s lens,” said Deniz Keskin, Porsche’s Director of Brand Management and Partnerships.
In addition to the vehicle, ALD and Porsche have introduced an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the 993 Turbo’s design. The collection includes apparel and accessories, led by the much-anticipated Leather Club Jacket. Nicola Ader, Director of Marketing & PR at Porsche Lifestyle Group, noted, “This capsule seamlessly ties the worlds of fashion and automotive together, offering something special for both communities.”
The Aimé Leon Dore x Porsche collection launches on November 22nd, available in Aimé Leon Dore stores and online, with select items offered at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills. This collaboration captures the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship, offering enthusiasts and fans alike a chance to connect with the project in meaningful ways.
