I realize I haven’t mentioned anything car related in a while. It is fitting that I should make this the article where I do so. Porsche recently unveiled its ultra sleek “Porsche Design Edition 1” Cayman S.
Porsche has done very little to stray from the visual identity of their cars. Their forte is performance first with a sexy body second. Most often, Porsche automotive designers and engineers modestly improve on the look of the cars. But this year, it will be different…Porsche Design has been handed the torch.
This is the first time that the Porsche Design division has been involved in bringing the sophisticated look of their consumer branded products to the actual automobile. And it comes at the 35th anniversary of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche who first introduced the Chronograph 1s.
Porsche Design certainly left no stone uncovered as the instrument cluster, interior, exterior, wheels and vehicle height have been finessed. The result is a gorgeous black on black example of minimalist form and function.
To sweeten the package each owner will receive a personal briefcase which will include items designed by Porsche Design such as a chronograph, pen, sunglasses, knife, and keyring…all matching the car.
Only 777 variants will be made and European markets get first dibs when the car goes on sale this November.
If you’ve been holding out on purchasing something with that bonus you received, your moment has arrived.
