Porsche 911 Backdate
The Porsche 911 Backdate is the perfect blend of classic charm and modern performance. Spearheaded by Marcel van der Velden, the Managing Partner of Sportwagen Zentrum Niederrhein, this project reimagines a 1991 Porsche 964 Targa into a unique 911 Targa R. Working with Vehicle Experts, they fused vintage 911 ST styling with contemporary upgrades, creating a car that looks retro but drives like a modern Porsche.
The Targa R sports widened ST-style wheel arches, a sleek graphite gray finish (color code 7B2), and chrome accents on the air intakes, windshield trim, and headlight rings. LED headlights and a GT3-inspired stainless steel exhaust system with valve control add a modern edge. Inside, Recaro seats wrapped in black leather with Pepita s balance comfort and sportiness. Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) provides modern navigation and connectivity without disrupting the vintage vibe.
Under the hood, the original 3.6-liter boxer engine was meticulously rebuilt by Porsche Center Moers for enhanced performance and reliability. A KW coilover suspension ensures agile handling, making the Targa R a capable daily driver. This backdate is a testament to Porsche's timeless design and engineering excellence, a true modern classic.
