Porsche will soon auction off a special Taycan 4S art car and the proceeds will benefit Swiss non-profit Suisseculture Sociale to support local artists in the country who have struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The man behind the Taycan Art Car, which actually came to life at a pop-up restaurant in Zurich last December, is Richard Phillips. Adorning the exterior of the EV is a custom wrap based on the artist’s ‘Queen of the Night’ 2010 painting that’s dominated by brightly-colored flowers, a blue sky, and butterflies.
A handful of other custom touches were made. For example, there is an illuminated inscription of ‘Queen of the Night’ on the door sill panels thanks to Porsche Exclusive, and an illuminated version of Richard Phillip’s signature that is projected onto the pavement.
He went on to say that “by auctioning the work and donating the proceeds we want to help the Swiss cultural landscape, which has been hit especially hard by the pandemic.” Noble reasons, all. With the support of RM Sotheby’s, the single and unique piece will be auctioned globally from April 6 to 13, 2021. The lot includes an exclusive individually tailored tour of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the birthplace of Taycan, with Porsche AG’s head of the Taycan model range.
This isn’t the first time Porsche has worked with this particular artist. In 2019, Phillips worked with Porsche factory driver Jörg Bergmeister to design a Porsche art car, which then made history at the twenty-four-hour race in Le Mans.
