Brumos Porsche delivered a small batch of exclusive, factory built, limited edition “B59” 911’s to five lucky customers at their motorsports facility in Jacksonville, FL. Racing legend Hurley Haywood, along with the Management and staff of Brumos Porsche were on hand to celebrate the delivery of these special vehicles along with the Brumos #59 Racecar fresh off a win of the 2011Grand-Am Championship last weekend at Mid-Ohio.
In dramatic fashion, all five of the “B59” 911’s were unveiled to the customers simultaneously when the door was raised, and the lights turned on. The cars were placed surrounding the current Brumos #59 racecar in the Brumos museum.
The five “B59” Editions were made by the Porsche factory to honor the close working relationship that Brumos has had with Porsche over the years. The five limited edition cars were built to commemorate Hurley Haywood’s five victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1973, 1975, 1977, 1979 and 1991.
The 2012 911 Carrera GTS B59 Edition Coupes were all finished in Carrara White and feature a Black Full Leather interior with Alcantara trim. In addition to the many standard comfort and performance features found on the 408 HP Carrera GTS, the five B59 Editions included; Brumos Red/Blue stripe design for the front hood and rear deck, Brumos Red/Blue stripe “PORSCHE” door decals, Exterior mirrors in Black, 19″ Sport Classic Wheel (Fuchs style), Door entry guards in Stainless Steel with “Hurley Haywood” engraved signature, Deviating (dual stripe) stitching in Brumos Red/Blue on steering wheel and gear/brake lever and Carrara White painted interior accents including Adaptive Sport Seat Backrests. The Performance and comfort options included; Sport Chrono Package Plus, Sport Shifter, Sports Suspension including PASM and Limited Slip Rear Differential Lock.
Owners had the option to have Hurley Haywood sign the cars at the ceremony, all of which did under the hood. To commemorate the concept and build process, each 2012 Carrera GTS B59 Edition owner will receive a factory produced photo book. This special, coffee table-style book will properly document the history, heritage and pedigree of the 2012 911 Carrera GTS B59 Edition.
