Porsche is commemorating its 75th anniversary in Australia with a special edition 911, dubbed the Land Down Under. This exclusive model is based on the 911 Turbo S and features unique design elements, including an exclusive "Chromaflair" paint finish that graduates from "Southern Cross Blue" above the shoulder line to "Terra Australis Red" towards the lower edge. The paint finish requires 300 hours of work and consists of seven layers, giving it a color-shifting effect.
The Land Down Under edition also features a combination of dark blue leather and brown upholstery, with a unique emblem on the headrests outlining Australia and "Porsche 75 Years" script overlaid. The interior also includes topographical references to the Blue Mountains, Australian Silky Oak wood inlays, and a map of the southern hemisphere's night sky as it appeared over Uluru the year Porsche arrived in Australia.
