‘One of a Kind’ – ARTDIVISION presents you an homage to Mexican race car driver Pedro Rodrìguez in the form of the PORSCHE 911 Turbo S One of a Kind Pedro Rodríguez special model
In 2021, ARTDIVISION received a special commission : In honor of the most successful Mexican race car driver Pedro Rodrìguez, who had a fatal accident on Nuremberg’s Norisring 50 years ago, a special model of the 911 Turbo S was designed – which, of course, had to be presented befittingly : the Porsche 911 Turbo S ‘One of a Kind’ Pedro Rodríguez.
Porsche Latin America and Porsche México honor Pedro Rodríguez with a very special model. They commissioned the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur workshop with the development of a worldwide unrivaled vehicle, the Porsche 911 Turbo S ‘One of a Kind’ Pedro Rodríguez, which was revealed last year at the Sportscar Together Day in Centro de Alto Rendimiento Pegaso in Mexico.
What makes it so special : The exterior design of the ‘One of a kind’, based on the design of the 917 short-back driven by Rodrìguez in 1970 and 1971, is unique and limited to exactly one vehicle. Several of the vehicle details can only be found on this car and are not available via the Porsche configurator. This makes the 911 an absolute one-off model !
The requirement : The photographed vehicles had to be presented in an industrial-style, fictive workshop developed and generated in CGI by ARTDIVISION. For the conception and look of the motifs, ARTDIVISION was given almost total creative freedom by the client. The result is a consistently coherent visual language which conveys a timeless atmosphere, providing an exhilarating setting fit for this occasion.
Rodríguez was the son of wealthy parents in Mexico and already won his first motorcycle race at the age of twelve. Together with his two-year younger brother Ricardo, he was victorious in such impressive long-distance races as the 24-Hours of Daytona Beach in the early 1960s. His brother Ricardo had a fatal accident on 1 November 1962 while training for the Mexico Grand Prix in a Lotus. Pedro Rodríguez, who was one of the best race car drivers in the world in 1970 and 1971, died later at the age of 31 on 11 July, 1971, on the Norisring in the twelfth round of the race for the European Interseries. Fifty years after his death, the bridge in Nuremberg where the accident occurred was named after him.
The vehicle was sold at an auction, and the proceeds were used to benefit several charitable causes.
