Tedson Motors Unveils Gulf Blue Dream Edition at New York International Auto Show

NEW YORK (April 16, 2025) – Following last year’s delivery of a very special 911 Remastered commission to celebrated collector and television personality Michael Strahan, Tedson Motors will present its latest air-cooled Porsche 911 commission, the Gulf Blue Dream Edition, at the 2025 New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.

Crafted with an obsessive attention to detail and performance, this bespoke 911 redefines what a restomod can be. Built on a foundation of Tedson’s core philosophy—where today’s technology and style meet the timeless spirit of the 911—it delivers a uniquely emotional driving experience.

The Gulf Blue Dream Edition features:

  • A full carbon fiber body, widened track, and remastered suspension geometry incorporating GT2 components and RS uprights
  • Advanced Proactive suspension, offering adaptive response and modern handling precision
  • A hand-built 4.0L air-cooled flat-six engine with cutting-edge internals and motorsport-inspired performance with 6-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential
  • A bespoke interior featuring exclusive materials such as Nappa Leather, Alcantara, and milled/anodized aluminum including handmade roll-cage, 4-way seatbelt harness and masterfully done Recaro seats with retro rivets and woven leather
  • Custom dashboard dials and center-mounted clock, reinforcing the analog heritage with modern craftsmanship

Finished in a PTS Gulf Blue color with Gulf Orange racing stripes and Gulf Orange Fuchs-inspired wheels, all chosen by the client, this commission evokes the spirit of 1970s endurance racing and Steve McQueen’s legendary Le Mans presence.

With less than 19 days until the gates open for the third annual Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 event on April 26 in Costa Mesa, CA, we have more details to share with visitors and fans. The 2025 event will include experiences exclusive to Air|Water ticket holders, such as rides in the new 911 Carrera, in which attendees will be able to experience the thrill and agility of the new 911 with a professional driver on a specialized course. This unique opportunity will be available to A|W ticket holders free-of-charge during event hours.

Equally exciting is the announcement of the 1985 McLaren MP4/2B powered by the Porsche-TAG turbo engine as guest of honor at Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1. It’s the car that took McLaren to the 1985 Formula One World Championship driven by legends Alain Prost and Niki Lauda. The car was powered by the world-famous 1.5-liter turbocharged V6 that was jointly developed by Porsche and McLaren, with support from TAG (Techniques d’Avant Garde). This was Prost’s first of four famous championships. He dominated the ’85 season, taking five wins to claim the title by 20 points over Michele Alboreto’s Ferrari. With assistance from Niki Lauda, the MP4/2B also won the Constructor’s Championship thanks to six wins from 12 races.
