The Porsche 911 seems to going for quite the makeover spree as many auto lovers haven’t got over the hangover of the car’s nostalgic beauty. Some of the mentionable makeovers we saw are Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 limited edition, the Singer & Cosworth version and also ‘Midas’ touched Gold Porsche. Similar to the more sophisticated category of vehicular makeovers, this 911 GTS B59 has been built with an ideation to mark famed driver Hurley Hayworth, who took this car on a winning steak from 1972 till 1975, at the Daytona 24 hours event.

This set of Porsche will feature the famous 408 HP engine, responsible for the smooth drive along with some extras from the company, like Red & Blue stripes from front end of the car to the back end with similar pattern on the steering wheel, black exterior mirrors, special arrangements for the additional heating system on the seats which have a dual tone pattern of white stitching and backrest, and rest in black, which incidentally matches the interior trimmings. Further options include the sport shifter, Bose surround sound system, XM satellite radio receiver and whole lot more. However, the body of the car will be primarily white in color. The additions have been so detailed and carefully thought of, that the company will be publishing a special edition book which also details out the car’s history ever since its creation.

As per company reports, the cart shall be out in the market in 2012 and the suggestive price tag is around $133,540 a piece. The other features which will allow for customization, will also cost more to the buyer. For those looking for a short cut to beefing up the car, please beware that the company has some unique design elements that might prevent you from doing so. It has been ensured that there can be a bare minimum number of additions on the car, after it is released from the factory.
