A Collector’s Dream: The Byblos B00 Porsche 911 Targa
In a spectacular meeting of heritage and high design, Hotel Byblos—the Riviera’s legendary luxury destination—has partnered with Hedonic Machines, the bespoke automotive atelier, to unveil the Byblos B00: a one-off, fully restored Porsche 911 Targa (1970–1973).
This exclusive collaboration blends the glamour of 1970s Saint-Tropez with the engineering precision of modern luxury vehicles. Priced from €300,067 (a tribute to the hotel’s founding in 1967), the Byblos B00 is now available for purchase—an extraordinary addition to any serious collector’s garage.
Timeless Design Meets Contemporary Craftsmanship
Restored around the iconic early-70s 911 Targa platform, the Byblos B00 maintains all of the car’s original hallmarks: long bonnet, upright windscreen, and the unmistakable Targa roll bar—now enhanced with backlit detailing and finished in brushed steel.
Painted in Porsche’s period-correct Metallic Nachtblau, the exterior is accented by hand-finished brushed aluminium, a signature touch by Hedonic’s master metalworkers. The removable roof offers a seamless blend of coupe styling and convertible freedom.
A Luxurious Interior Inspired by Hotel Byblos
Inside, the cabin echoes the opulence of Hotel Byblos itself. Full-grain beige leather, engraved aluminium, and custom features developed in collaboration with the Compagnons du Devoir transform the car into a moving suite.
A bespoke digital instrument cluster styled in Byblos’ signature colours replaces the traditional dials—offering a modern twist without sacrificing soul. Even the sound system pays tribute to the hotel’s famous Les Caves du Roy nightclub, discreetly integrated to preserve the car’s clean aesthetic.
Engineered for Today’s Road
The B00 is not just for show. Its original engine has been reimagined with fuel injection, enhancing responsiveness and torque. The reworked chassis delivers agile, precise handling—ideal for winding along the Côte d’Azur or powering through a private track day.
A Word from the Visionaries
“Hotel Byblos has long been synonymous with the timeless elegance of Saint-Tropez,” says Antoine Chevanne, Owner of Floirat Signatures.
“The Byblos B00 reflects that spirit—with a modern design that retains the classic Porsche DNA. Hedonic Machines has done a spectacular job restoring this car, which will be a marvellous addition to its new owner’s collection.”
“We are thrilled to bring these two icons of the 1970s together,” adds Serge Heitz, Founder of Hedonic Machines. “The Byblos B00 tells a story of creation, memory, and reinvention.”
