Porsche Turbo models to get new crest and trim

MANILA: Porsche has introduced new design elements on its Turbo models to give distinction from other models in the range.

A modern take on the Porsche crest, with a new metallic Turbonite color instead of gold, will be featured on the front, wheels, and steering wheel of Turbo models. The gray paintwork, which was formulated by Porsche Color and Trim experts, is also applied on the letterings on the rear and on the daylight opening as well as on the surrounds of the side windows.

Some of the model lines will also feature this hue on the inlays in the front fascia, the spokes, and the aeroblades in the light alloy wheels.

Inside, the color will be applied on the trim strips, belt straps, and on several controls such as the mode switch and the air-conditioning panel. It will also be used as a contrasting color for the stitching on the seats, door panel trims, instrument panel, and floor mats.

The Turbo has served as the top trim of every Porsche model series for almost 50 years.

“In 1974, we presented the first turbocharged 911. Since then, Turbo has become a synonym for our top models and is now more or less a brand of its own. We now want to make the Turbo even more visible, and differentiate it more markedly from other derivatives such as the GTS. This is why we’ve developed a distinctive Turbo aesthetic. From now on, the Turbo versions will exhibit a consistent appearance across all model lines – one that is elegant, high-quality and very special,” Porsche Chief Designer Michael Mauer stated.

The upgrades on the Turbo models will debut on the new Panamera, which will be launched on November 24.
