Theon Design, a UK-based organisation, is pushing the boundaries of luxury with bespoke Porsche 911s. Founded in 2016 by Adam Hawley, a seasoned car designer, the company takes the classic Porsche 911 and reimagines it with modern flair. Each car is tailored to individual specifications, with a price tag starting at £430,000, excluding VAT and the cost of a donor car.
The process begins with a bare shell, allowing everything from the engine size to the colour of the car key to be customised. Customers are involved in every detail, from the design to the final test drive. Theon Design's bespoke approach has gained attention from Porsche enthusiasts and collectors, who appreciate the company's dedication to creating unique and exclusive vehicles.
The company's co-founder, Adam Hawley, has a deep understanding of the Porsche 911, having worked with various car manufacturers, including BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, and Lotus. His passion for the 911 is evident in every detail of the bespoke cars, from the Fuchs-style wheels to the green numbered dials. Each car is a testament to Hawley's design expertise and his commitment to creating vehicles that are truly one-of-a-kind.
The car I drove was commissioned by a Mexico-based architect and featured a unique blend of two classic Porsche colours: Nato Olive and Underberg. Its rear spoiler replicated the famous 'ducktail' fitted to the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, albeit in F1-grade carbon fibre. The result was a car that combined purpose and pulchritude like only a modified Porsche can.
