Porsche 964 Restomod

Vehicle • Porsche 911 Type 964
Year • 2023
Project • Restomod | Lightweight

An ultralight Porsche 964 restomod, developed by ACR Auto in Cantù through an extensive restoration, weight reduction, and reinterpretation of the vehicle.

Several bodywork components were replaced with carbon fiber elements and subsequently painted in Auratium Green, while the installation of a roll bar further emphasizes the technical character of the project.

For the interior, we created a fully bespoke environment in Kodiak Brown Nappa leather, Alcantara, and bouclé, incorporating yellow accents, specialized leather craftsmanship, and aluminum components to strike a balance between the analog soul of the Porsche 964 and a contemporary, minimalist, and highly artisanal design language.

PORSCHE 964 RESTMOD

Lightness and Identity

This Porsche 964 was conceived as a true restomod project, in which restoration, weight reduction, and design were developed as integral parts of the same transformation.

The vehicle’s weight was reduced by replacing several bodywork components with carbon fiber elements, which were subsequently painted in the same Auratium Green as the bodywork. This approach allows the technical modifications to remain visually integrated into the original shape of the 964.

The installation of a roll bar further enhances the vehicle’s sporting character.

The result preserves the instantly recognizable identity of the Porsche 911 Type 964, while reinterpreting it through a lighter, more technical, and contemporary approach.

KODIAK BROWN NAPPA LEATHER

Bespoke Interiors

For the interior, we selected Kodiak Brown Nappa leather as the main material, using it for the seats, door panels, and numerous cabin components. The goal was not to create an overly decorative interior, but to highlight the quality of the leather through clean construction, precise proportions, and craftsmanship that becomes especially apparent when examining the details up close. For contrast, we introduced yellow Nappa leather piping, enhanced by visible topstitching. This detail transforms the piping itself into a graphic element that follows and accentuates the contours of the seats. The same shade of yellow is echoed in the seat belts, creating a visual connection between the seats, panels, and technical components of the cabin.

LEATHER SKIVING TO 0.3 MM AND EMBOSSED CRESTS

Aesthetic Language

Zonam’s approach goes beyond simply replacing the original upholstery. The goal of this restomod project was to create an interior fully integrated into the vehicle’s overall concept, while preserving the iconic proportions of the 964 cockpit.

Yellow Piping

The seat piping was not used as a simple decorative trim. The stitching applied directly to the yellow leather accentuates its geometry and introduces a particularly refined detail, despite the overall visual simplicity.

It is precisely this combination of minimalist design and intricate craftsmanship that defines the entire project.

Embossed Leather

The Kodiak Brown leather was embossed on the seats, door panels, and dashboard to create depth and visual movement without changing the color or material. The result remains clean and uniform, yet richer in detail.

Sports Seats


The seats combine Kodiak Brown Nappa leather, yellow piping, and contrast stitching, with the Porsche crest embossed tone-on-tone on the headrests. The rear seat shells, painted in Auratium Green, create a direct visual connection to the bodywork and reinforce the continuity between the exterior and the cabin.

ZONAM ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Materials

The upper section of the cabin is upholstered in Alcantara matched to Kodiak Brown, while a lighter bouclé fabric was selected for the lower surfaces to create a visually lighter overall appearance. Three materials define the project: Nappa leather for structure and precision, Alcantara for softness and depth, and bouclé for texture and brightness.

Door Panels and Technical Details in the Cabin

The door panels feature a minimalist, lightweight design, combining smooth and embossed Kodiak Brown leather with Alcantara on the upper sections. The yellow pull strap echoes the seat belts, piping, and stitching, integrating even the functional elements into the project’s overall color scheme.

The gear lever and handbrake introduce contemporary aluminum surfaces, contrasting with the leather, Alcantara, and bouclé. The center tunnel maintains a clean, minimalist layout, seamlessly integrating these technical elements into the Porsche 964’s understated design language.

FAQ

What is the concept behind the project?

The goal was to reinterpret the Porsche 911 Type 964 through a restomod and lightweight approach, preserving the vehicle’s essential character while elevating it through premium materials, bespoke craftsmanship, and color accents coordinated with the bodywork.

The project goes beyond simply reupholstering surfaces, combining materials, craftsmanship, custom components, and details coordinated with the exterior to create a completely reimagined cabin that remains true to the identity of the Porsche 964.
