Porsche Taycan Is Transformed Into Colorful Art Car Covered In Flowers

[ad_1]

Car art can range from stunning to horrifying, and not all are commissioned by automakers as works of art. Some are homemade creations that truly capture the personality of the owner, but when artists like Shun Sudo get permission to draw on cars, the results are often downright beautiful.

Sudo, born in Tokyo, Japan, and dividing his time between his home country and New York, combines the rich artistic history of the two cultures into his own history. Sudo combines traditional Japanese ink painting (Sumi-e) with street art graffiti originating from New York and other cities.

His artistic talents will be on full display across Japan starting this month when his Porsche Taycan is on tour. “Taycan Soul CanvasThe exhibition will visit Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka in March and April, with the Tokyo exhibition starting tomorrow and running through Sunday, March 6.

The car is stunning, with a white exterior covered by a colorful depiction of button flowers. There were large bright red flowers and small pink flowers scattered alongside the yellows and oranges. The colors on the white car, offset by the black trim wheels, make the motif shine. Sudo said he was very happy to be collaborating with Porsche on this project.

The Porsche Taycan is the brand’s foray into mass-produced electric vehicles. It made its full debut back in 2019 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and Porsche continues to expand the Taycan lineup. Late last year, Porsche introduced the Taycan GTS sedan and Sport Turismo wagon with 590 horsepower (443 kilowatts), and the brand plans to electrify other models in its lineup. The powertrain launches the EV to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in 3.5 seconds.

This isn’t the first Porsche Taycan art car we’ve seen. A year ago, the company nurtured American artist Richard Phillips adapting 2010 Queen of the night painting to all electric sedans. It was another floral pattern design, which appears to be a pattern with Porsche. If you’re in Japan for the next two months, check out the exhibition.
