Porsche: High-quality optics for the turbos
GANZ EDEL The Turbo models have enjoyed an exceptional position at Porsche for almost 50 years. They crown every model series. To emphasize their uniqueness, the Stuttgart-based company is now sharpening up the look once again.
The Turbo models from Porsche now have the modernized emblem in a particularly exclusive design. Instead of gold, the new Turbonit color dominates. This noble metallic shade of gray, which the designers developed especially for the Turbo, is used on other selected exterior and interior components. This makes the look of the Turbo models even more distinctive.
Turbo stands for top models
Porsche is gradually introducing greater differentiation in all model series. The pioneer is the new Panamera, which celebrates its world premiere on November 24.
Michael Mauer, Head of Style Porsche: "We presented the first turbocharged 911 in 1974. Since then, the Turbo has become synonymous with our sporty top models. We now want to make the Turbo even more visible and set it apart from other derivatives such as the GTS. In future, the Turbo versions will have a uniform appearance across all model series: elegant, high-quality and very special."
Noble with a metallic effect
The new metallic color Turbonit is reserved for the Turbo models. Like all paints, this was painstakingly formulated by the experts at Porsche Color & Trim. Gold elements provide an elegant metallized effect. The top layer has a contrasting silk matt finish. The lettering at the rear and the daylight opening on the Turbo models will in future be in Turbonit. Depending on the model series, other details such as inserts in the front trim, spokes or aero blades in the alloy wheels can also be painted in Turbonit.
Turbonite dominant color
Turbonit is also the dominant color in the emblem of the Turbo models. All sporty top-of-the-range models will soon feature it on the front of the vehicle, on the alloy wheels and on the steering wheel. In addition, selected components in the interior, such as the accent strips and seatbelt straps, as well as some controls, are in Turbonit. In combination with a black interior, Turbonit is also used as a contrasting color for the yarn on the seats, door panels, instrument panel and floor mats.
