Porsche and Aimé Leon Dore reimagine the 993 Turbo in Mulberry Green.
Few collaborations in the automotive and streetwear world feel as seamless as Porsche and Aimé Leon Dore (ALD). This partnership, now in its fourth iteration, combines Porsche’s high-performance heritage with ALD’s effortless approach to high-fashion streetwear and design. Their latest project? A jaw-dropping restoration of the iconic Porsche 993 Turbo, finished in Aimé Leon Dore’s signature Mulberry Green. By focusing on one of Porsche’s most beloved air-cooled models, the 993, the collaboration highlights how timeless style and performance come together to create something truly extraordinary. While modern Porsche models stand out as technological powerhouses, this restoration serves as a love letter to the classics that laid the foundation for the brand’s global reputation.
From the moment you see it, this Mulberry Green masterpiece is captivating. The aesthetic upgrades make it clear this isn’t your standard 993 Turbo but something so much more. Aimé Leon Dore has upgraded the car with a Turbo S exhaust system, an aero-focused front splitter, and the unmistakable “whale tail” wing that pays homage to Porsche’s legendary design DNA. Completing the look are 18-inch Turbo Twist rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, providing both an iconic look and serious road performance. Every detail of the car’s styling perfectly balances understated luxury and motorsport aggression, turning heads whether cruising city streets or parked at a collector’s garage. It’s a bold yet respectful take on a model that already had Porsche purists in awe when it debuted in the 1990s.
Step inside, and the collaboration’s creative vision becomes even more apparent. The interior is a tribute to Queens, New York—the borough where Aimé Leon Dore was founded. Dark brown leather wraps the cabin, complemented by plush lambswool accents that exude comfort and sophistication. Hardback seats pay homage to the 911’s motorsport heritage, adding a vintage feel without sacrificing refinement. But it’s the small details that truly steal the show: a gold Unisphere gear knob pays homage to the Queens landmark, while etched door sills bear the phrase “A team from outta Queens with the American dream.” These touches transform the car’s interior into more of a cultural statement and a nod to the brand’s roots.
The collaboration is all about honoring shared values. Porsche’s legacy is built on precision engineering and performance, while Aimé Leon Dore is known for its meticulous approach to design and craftsmanship. The restored 993 Turbo bridges these worlds beautifully, combining ALD’s fashion-forward sensibilities with Porsche’s storied history of creating driver-focused sports cars. The result is a custom build that’s as much a work of art as it is a machine built for the road. For collectors and enthusiasts, this isn’t just another restored Porsche—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when two industries come together to push boundaries.
In the end, the Mulberry Green Porsche 993 Turbo celebrates history, culture, and the pursuit of excellence. It’s an example of how timeless design and performance can unite to create something that will continue to inspire for generations to come. Whether you’re a fan of Porsche, Aimé Leon Dore, or both, this 993 Turbo is proof that the best things come from partnerships built on passion and creativity.
