The rear PORSCHE logo of Porsche Taycan is "Glass Look"
Uhya ~. What I didn't know again! !!
Rather, this time I found out that I had written something wrong on this blog in the past, so I'm sorry.
I thought that the letters of the logo "PORSCHE" on the rear of Porsche's fully electric car Taycan, this is "glass".
This is the character PORSCHE ↓
But this wasn't glass.
If you know it, it may be "Did you not know?", But I was really surprised.
Because it looks like glass, I even thought that this is a characteristic of Taycan. When I heard the explanation of this part, I heard that "this part of the rear is glass".
but. This is a misunderstanding due to my complete "belief".
"Rear here is glass" means that "the rear light bar (light strip) is made of glass". That was glass ~ (laughs)! !!
There is also this in the explanation of Porsche site ↓
Here is an enlarged view of the relevant part. Yes, the rear light strip is made of glass, and the PORSCHE logo inside is ... No way, no way, "Glass look"! !! !!
No, I'm sorry. Let me just say one word. that. That's why ... "What is a glass look !!!" (laughs).
Oh, I'm sorry. To Porsche. unintentionally.
No, but I was really surprised. The PORSCHE logos of these Taycans, which made me think that it was glass, was actually a "glass look" that was not glass.
Even though I was shocked ... I grinned. "Yeah, it was a glass look" ^^
Option to change the color of the Porsche logo
And the picture of the rear of Taycan posted on this Porsche site, did you notice it? understand? Something is different.
That's right, does the word PORSCHE look blue? picture? Did you know that?
No, this should also normally be white at this point. actuallyTaycan exhibited at Porsche NOW TokyoClick here for the logo. It's white, isn't it? ↓
Even if I looked at the images on the Porsche site, I didn't realize that I had somehow thought that this was also completely "white" if I didn't care too much ...
I was also curious about this, so of course I will investigate.
It was there. This is it ~
This is the Taycan catalog. The page of "Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur" in it.
If you expand the text of the relevant part, it is here.
The explanation at the rear says "Light strip with" PORSCHE "logo in Glacier Blue and" Welcome "function" ↓
But this doesn't seem to be reflected in the configurators of any country yet, what's going on? If you take a closer look ...
Oh, there was. This option was written as "(provisionally) from September 2020" ↓
It's already September, but I wonder if that will come out soon. I just don't know? Anyway, it seems that it will be applied from the 2021 model.
In any case, it seems that the PORSCHE logo on the rear of this Taycan can be changed to Glacier Blue as an option in the near future ^ ^ (* I do not know if it will be applied in Japan)
When I thought about it, I should have thought that if the front light could be changed to Glacier Blue, the rear logo could also be changed! (No, it's impossible)
It is unknown at this time as it was not specified whether this Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur option, this Glacier blue Porsche logo will be a "glass look" or if it is really "glass".
Taycan welcome function
Well, and one more.
Some of you may have wondered, "What is this?" In the text I posted earlier, right? This is the text of the catalog I posted earlier ↓
"Light strip with" PORSCHE "logo in Glacier Blue and" Welcome "function"
You're curious, this "Welcome Function".
Basically, the welcome function means that the light turns on when the engine is turned on, or conversely, the light turns on after a while after the engine is turned off. ?? First of all, I think. (* In that case, it is often written as home / leaving home function)
However, this Taycan's welcome function is written as "Welcome", so it seems that it is not when you get out of the car but when you get in (at the start).
Well, maybe this is it? There is something that is said to be, but yeah, I think this is it. How about.
It is in the official Porsche video here. The relevant part is from 0:38 ↓
Hey, the light from the rear light bar will follow you from the center to both ends! !! Is this the welcome function? When.
This video was officially posted as of September 2019, but I didn't notice it at all when I saw it again.
Did you do this kind of special production for the introduction of Taycan? It seems that some people have already seen the actual car as Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur's as of November 2019 ↓
If it's for directing, I feel like I wouldn't dare to put it out in public ...
Fufufu. It's really fun to be able to think about various things this time ^^
Anyway, at this time, I will correct that "the PORSCHE logo in the rear light bar of Porsche Taycan was not made of glass but'glass look'".
I also corrected the part where the logo was written as glass in the past article of this blog ^ ^
Ah, it's really too much fun to think about Porsche (nerd)!
