Porsche's fully electric SUV: New EV Macan announced

Porsche's second fully electric car model

On January 25, 2024, Porsche announced the EV Macan, a fully electric car model following the Taycan. The world premiere venue is Singapore.

What surprised me was the sculpture that was being made locally when this Macan was announced. Just before the presentation, it started to glow and was very beautiful.

Seen from a distance, it looks like an ohm, and the first thing I noticed was ``What is that?!'' before I even noticed Makan ^^

This work was created by New York-based architect and artist Marc Fornes to commemorate the world premiere of the new EV Macan, and as expected, the presentation of the EV Macan is quite spirited. ~.
