Special series pays tribute to the Sadu weaving technique and reinforces the brand's exclusivity in the Middle East with restricted production
To celebrate seven decades of operation in Kuwait, Porsche presented the 911 Turbo S Sadu Edition, a special series developed by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur personalisation division. With production strictly restricted to 20 units, the model pays homage to the cultural heritage of the Middle East while reinforcing the automaker’s exclusivity in the region.
Built on the basis of the 911 Turbo S, the sports car features a Cremewhite body contrasting with the glossy black details of the SportDesign aerodynamic package. The two-tone aesthetic extends to the 20″ wheels at the front and 21″ at the rear, which received an exclusive finish and the traditional colored coat of arms of the Stuttgart manufacturer.

The great aesthetic differential, however, lies in the subtle graphics applied to the doors and rear fenders. The lines are inspired by Sadu weaving, an ancient Bedouin art known for its intricate geometric patterns. To finish off the external look, the coupe features golden emblems with the series’ inscription, sports exhaust system with titanium tips, panoramic roof and ceramic brakes.
Although the focus is on aesthetic refinement, the mechanical assembly guarantees superlative performance. The 3.8 biturbo six-cylinder boxer engine delivers 650 hp and 81,6 kgfm, managed by the eight-speed PDK gearbox.
Inside, the luxurious cabin combines black and burgundy red leather upholstery. The sports seats and door panels display patterns that refer to local craftsmanship, while the headrests bear the inscription “70 years” written in Arabic. The package includes illuminated sills, silver-gray belts, GT steering wheel with red central marking and Burmester sound. Customers who want more immersion can use the Sonderwunsch program to add upholstery in authentic Sadu fabric.
Prices for the commemorative edition have not been disclosed, but there will be a significant overprice compared to the list of a conventional 911 in Kuwait. The company’s historic relationship with the country began in 1956, when an iconic 356 Cabriolet landed in the region, marking the brand’s first official import to the Middle East.
