Taycan 4S Cross Turismo "Taycan 4S Cross Turismo for Jennie Ruby Jane"
Jenny Kim, one of the members of the famous Korean music group BLACKPINK, has released the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, which was made with various commitments by herself.
BLACKPINK is a South Korean YG Entertainment girl group that debuted in August 2016, and is a hugely popular group that has recorded a huge hit every time it releases a song.
Jenny, who is said to be a lead vocalist among such a popular group, made Porsche's Taikan with his own specifications this time, so this already has a considerable impact on young generation BLACKPINK fans. It seems that
What is the Sonderwunsch program
By the way, the program applied to this special Taikan is called "Sonderwunsch programm".
It seems that this was a program provided by Porsche in the late 70's,The so-called "Special Request Program"..
Customers will be able to work with Porsche experts to create a one-off, completely personalized Porsche.
The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo (hereafter, Taikan) that she made this time is named "Taycan 4S Cross Turismo for Jennie Ruby Jane", and this Jennie Ruby Jane was used when she was studying abroad in the past. It seems that it is a name that includes a middle name.
This Taycan was created by the Sonderwunsch team of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the design department of Style Porsche, together with Jenny.
Even during the meeting, Jenny did not leave the specifications to everyone, but rather collaged the images and ideas of the Taikan that she wanted to make herself, and visualized them so that everyone could easily understand them. It seems that there was an image of Taikan that I wanted to create.
Then, I would like to see the special specification Taikan ^ ^
Body color is metallic black finish.
In addition, the 21-inch exclusive design wheels are Meissen blue, which is a PTS color. This is quite an impact. Brake calipers are white.
The letters "Electric" on the driver's door are also Meissen blue.
It's a little hard to see, but the rear model name is Meissen Blue.
Looking closer, it's definitely Meissen blue.
And the cloud logo on the B pillar is all Meissen blue.
The cloud logo was designed by Jenny, and it's something she really likes.
Because she travels around the world as an artist, those travel companions for her are "sky and clouds", and they are also beautiful symbols of various experiences. is.
The entry guard of the front door is also illuminated with the letters "Jennie Ruby Jane" with the same cloud design.
Jenny's nickname "NINI" is also written on the rear door.
The font seems to have been adopted from the 992nd generation at her request.
Oh yeah, as a very detailed commitment, even the letters "Sonderwunsch" and "Jennie Ruby Jane" on the center cap part of the wheel (at the black edge). ↓
The interior uses black, crayon, and Meissen blue to create a very elegant finish.
Although it looks a little whitish in the photo, the upper part of the dashboard and the seat part are crayon colored.
The door trim is Meissen blue.
Meissen blue is also used around the air conditioner and the rim of the cup holder.
The center mark on the steering wheel looks like a crayon in the photo, but according to the explanation, it is also Meissen blue.
The headrest is embossed with the cloud and name logo.
The cloud logo is also embossed on the armrest.
There were no other pictures, but a custom-made indoor cover was also made, and a black box was also prepared for Jenny's pet dog (Pomeranian Kuma-chan, whose name seems to come from the Japanese word for "kuma"). thing.
The black box is accented with Meissen blue just like the car, with the dog's name on the front and clouds on the inside.
It seems that this model will be exhibited at BLACKPINK's world tour (in South Korea) in the future, so I hope that young Korean fans will be able to convey the goodness of the Taycan ^^
After all, I wondered if this Taikan was not made "black x pink" as one of Jenny's commitments ^ ^
