The Mackenzie tartan Anatole Lapine designed for Ferry Porsche's personal 1976 911 Turbo — Oak Green Metallic, Code 265. The "Ferry Porsche Spec," never reissued by the factory.
By 1976, the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) had evolved into its iconic "wide-body" production form. When Ferry Porsche commissioned his personal 3.0L Turbo, he specified it in Oak Green Metallic (Code 265). To complement the exterior, chief designer Anatole Lapine’s team outfitted the interior with a highly specific, earthy tartan. Today, this configuration is legendary among purists as the "Ferry Porsche Spec."
This piece utilizes new-production, historically accurate Mackenzie Tartan, capturing the exact 1976 factory palette of forest green, navy, beige, and white/red striping used in Ferry Porsche's personal car.

About the Tartan
factory option · Porsche 930 Turbo era · ca. 1976-1989 · woven wool · period color: black, beige, brown, red ground
Mackenzie was one of two factory tartan patterns Porsche offered through the 930 Turbo years — the other being McLaughlan. Both were woven from heavy wool to a specification Porsche developed in the late 1970s in collaboration with European textile mills, and both were paired with full leather on the bolsters and headrests. The pattern was based on the traditional Scottish Mackenzie sett, with its characteristic green and blue ground crossed by red and white over-checks, but the Porsche version was rebalanced for use in a sports car cabin.
The tartans arrived at a moment when Porsche was building, simultaneously, the most aggressively turbocharged road car of the 1970s and the most quietly distinctive interior textile programme in the industry. The 930 Turbo was the supercar of the cocaine era — Don Johnson drove one through Miami Vice, Doc Brown drove one in Back to the Future Part II's alternate 1985 — and the cabin's tartan inserts became the unofficial visual marker of Porsche's most confident decade.
The pattern was discontinued with the end of the 930 in 1989 and never reissued. Surviving original-fitment Mackenzie tartan from the period is now an extremely small remaining stock, and the textile is increasingly recognized by Porsche restorers as the single most distinctive material the factory ever specified.
