For more than 30 years, artist Ding Yi has only focused on one type of figure – the cross. His abstract paintings contain all forms, colors and expressions of this symbol. His work can be found in museums, galleries and private collectors’ homes. This time, one of his special new works – TaycanTurboS Ding B “Ten signs” customization, debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show, the body and interior of this coupe are decorated with the painting details of “Ten signs 2022-2″, as a unique mobile art is about to enter the street.
In addition, born in the 1980s, Porsche 959 also appeared on the booth, as the first true super car in the history of the brand, Porsche 959 can be called the most advanced and cutting-edge technology crystallization at that time, not only created the fastest production sports car record, but also won the Paris-Dakar Rally championship. The Porsche 959 is a true all-round model, and the Cayenne is exactly the inheritance of its advanced chassis system, as well as the performance of the harsh environment, which has won the recognition of the majority of users. Today, the new Cayenne, based on a comprehensive upgrade of the third generation model, is unveiled on the same stage, bringing an unprecedented new experience, including: a more driver-centric fully digital display and control concept, new chassis technology, innovative lighting technology, and overall enhanced engine performance, intended to defend its claim to the sports benchmark in the segment.
“China is an extremely important strategic market for Porsche, where customers are younger, more diverse and have a higher demand for personalization,” said MichaelKirsch, President and CEO of Porsche China. “Porsche continues to resonate with its customers, inspiring and highlighting their individual expressions and unique lifestyles. Our goal is to offer a wide range of personalized options and precisely tailored products to our customers’ needs, which is also the embodiment of the brand’s modern luxury philosophy.”
The collision of art and sports car – TaycanTurboS Ding B “ten signs” custom
“When I looked around and couldn’t find my dream car, I decided to build one myself.” Ferri Porsche’s persistent pursuit of dream sports cars started the German sports car manufacturer’s never-ending quest for perfection. Similarly, Ding Yi, the pioneer of Chinese contemporary abstract art, has the courage to pursue his dream and make unremitting exploration. Together with Porsche, he has jointly explored the artistic expression of sports cars in the era of electrification, and his dream of creating mobile artworks has been realized today.
AlexanderFabig, Vice President of Global Personalisation and Classic Cars at Porsche, said: “The requirements presented by Ding Yi represent the most complex painting process ever carried out by Porsche. To recreate his work perfectly on the body of the car, it takes more time than the painting process on a production car.” Porsche’s Sonderwunsch project offers its customers the highest level of personalised service. Clients will be personally involved in the design process, meet with designers and developers, and participate as co-project managers. In the summer of 2022, ding yi with porsche design team and PorscheExclusiveManufaktur experts in-depth communicate his ideas. At the same time, he also selected the base paint color for the body and wheels: 914 Olympus blue in the “PainttoSample”.
This “ten signs” custom car built on the basis of TaycanTurboS not only highlights Porsche’s excellence in customization services, but also explores the infinite possibilities and new realms of artistic expression of sports cars, leading the public to break through imagination. First, the TaycanTurboS ‘front cover, rear spoiler, and rearview mirror housing are embellished with painting details from Ten Signs 2022-2. With the help of special masking foils tailored to the painting, experts sprayed each color individually and covered it with two coats of clear paint.
