Pedro Rodr & iacute; guez & egrave; undoubtedly the most successful Mexican driver of all time. In his career he has triumphed twice in Formula 1, once at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 4 times at the 24 Hours of Daytona. Yes & egrave; also won 11 titles in the World Championship of Makes which today is; known as the World Endurance Championship (WEC), helping Porsche win the series in 1970 and 1971.

50 years after his death of this champion which took place on the Norisring street circuit in Nuremberg, Germany, on 11 July 1971, Porsche Latin America and Porsche Mexico commissioned the creation of a one-of-a-kind example with the intention of celebrating the driver. Working closely with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, & egrave; the exclusive Porsche 911 Turbo S & quot; One of a Kind & quot; was made Pedro Rodr & iacute; guez .

INSPIRED BY 917 KH

The base is; obviously that of the 911 Turbo S with the customization that mainly concerned the aesthetics with truly unique elements. This means that it will be; impossible for Porsche customers to be able to recreate this configuration on their cars. This sports car is immediately recognizable by the bodywork in Gulf blue with orange stripes. The alloy wheels are in glossy black and on the doors & egrave; present number 2 on white background. The livery of the car is a clear homage to that of the 917 KH.

On the B mountain of the car there is a badge with the silhouette of the 917 KH with the colors of the Mexican flag, together with the name and to the signature of the legendary driver. In addition, the names of the eight races won with the 917 KH are engraved under the rear spoiler. Inside, the 911 is fully upholstered in graphite blue leather with orange stitching. The silhouette of the 917 KH is; present on the headrests of the front seats. Rodr & iacute; guez's signature is also found on the center armrest and dashboard trim in carbon fiber. No changes, however, regarding the mechanics.

The car will be; auctioned by the end of the year and the proceeds will go in charity.
