Porsche lets artists design the car – he builds the most colorful Porsche of all time

Porsche lets artists design the car – he builds the most colorful Porsche of all time

What happens when you put an expensive car and an artist together? Only a few people probably ask themselves this question – but at Porsche they wanted to answer it. The sports car manufacturer therefore asked influencer and artist Sean Wotherspoon and now presented the unusual result of the collaboration.

It was not entirely unpredictable what Sean Wotherspoon would conjure up from the expensive Porsche Taycan. The artist has already worked for Nike and prefers to design sneakers in bright colors and made of corduroy. Apparently, this also impressed the marketing department at Porsche – and the plan was quickly made: A mixture of sports car and sneaker design was to be created.

Michael Mauer, Head of Style at Porsche, explains the unusual result by saying that “as a designer you have to question everything” and always strive to “think something new”. “It helps us to work with young designers like Sean to get new impulses from completely different product areas.”

Incidentally, the colors on the Porsche are not randomly distributed: a round circular element on the doors is intended to evoke earlier start numbers on racing cars. And there is also something special about the colors themselves: According to Porsche, the paints have an unusual name with a personal background. “After we explained how important clear designations are here, Sean named the paints after members of his family,” says Volker Müller. That’s how “Nash Blue”, “Sean Peach”, “Loretta Purple” and “Ashley Green” came about. The interior also continues the color blocking concept of the exterior.
