The plaque located on the B-pillar bears a silhouette akin to the Porsche 917 KH in the colours of the Mexican flag as well as the name and signature of Rodríguez. The 917 KH sports car is the vehicle in which the famous race driver won eight of his eleven race titles at the World Endurance Championship.

This same details as the B-Pillar are reflected in the carbon moldings on the lower door frames, which light up when opened. The names of the eight races he won with the 917 KH are engraved under the rear spoiler.

The accompanying key of the vehicle also features the racer's signature and is painted in Gulf blue.

By creating a car dedicated to Rodríguez's memory, Porsche says it has designed the car such that no other car in the world will have the design elements used on it. In fact, the specific configuration of this model including all its details and equipment, has been locked in the Porsche configurator and in the production system of the car maker. All this has been done "so that this car is literally unrepeatable," said Camilo San Martin, Director of Porsche Mexico.

Porsche Latin America and Porsche Mexico worked alongside Rodríguez's family and the Porsche Museum to create the car. The Porsche 911 Turbo S 'One of a Kind' Pedro Rodríguez will be auctioned later this year and the proceeds from the sale will be used for charitable causes.
