With its longstanding partnership with Porsche, Fashion and Lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) unveils the bespoke Porsche 993 Turbo - the fifth classic model restored.
Founded by Teddy Santis, ALD is a New York City-based fashion and lifestyle brand known for its focus on high-quality products that blend classic and contemporary styles, drawing inspiration from the city’s diverse cultural influences.
A Porsche 993 Turbo combines a powerful twin-turbo powertrain with an air-cooled engine for outstanding performance and handling. ALD's restoration transcends aesthetics, bringing the celebrated classic back visually and technically.

A number of components from the 993 Turbo S were incorporated during the intensive development process. The iconic Turbo S spoiler enhances both visual appeal and downforce. In addition, the 993 Turbo S Exhaust and Front Splitter enhanced aerodynamics and increased performance.
Mulberry Green Porsche Turbo Twist rims encircle the 18-inch rims, highlighted by gold accents. For the Porsche 993 Turbo, Michelin provided 18" Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, the same tires that equipped the seven-time title-winning Porsche 963.
“It’s great to see the latest installment of our partnership with Aimé Leon Dore”, says Deniz Keskin, Director Brand Management and Partnerships at Porsche AG. “The 993 is an iconic member of the 911 family and dream car for so many enthusiasts all around the world. ALD’s take is a wonderful way of contributing to that enduring legacy.”
Dark brown leather, lamb's wool accents, and hardback seats are all part of ALD's refined design language. Seat backrests are painted Mulberry Green to match the exterior. A monochromatic look was achieved with dark brown carpets, floor mats, seats, and instrument clusters.
Embedded in the steering wheel and headrest are custom-made ALD and Porsche logos, highlighting the long-term partnership between the two companies. The interior is enhanced with a brass Unisphere gear knob. The door sills also feature the inscription “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” a nod to the brand's roots and the inspiration behind ALD’s brand.
Exclusive capsule collection by Porsche Design
Inspired by the exclusive Mulberry Green Porsche 993 Turbo, the capsule collection features a range of apparel and accessories, including the long-awaited Leather Club Jacket.
“It has been a refreshing experience to work on this capsule with the ALD team”, says Nicola Ader, Director Marketing & PR Porsche Lifestyle Group. “The result is the perfect match for the car and a great way for both communities around the world to become part of this project.”
The capsule collection will be available on 22 November in-store and online at ALD.
For the first time, Porsche Design of America will also offer a select range from the limited-edition capsule, available exclusively on the U.S. West Coast at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills.
