it home reported on september 9 that porsche asia pacific and porsche exclusive manufaktur have collaborated to create a limited edition taycan turbo s called celestial jade. the car was created by the porsche sonderwunsch special customization project team, and its special paint color can present different appearances at different angles and lighting conditions.

porsche says the color-changing effect mimics the magical color changes of gemstones. they explain: "in the earth's crust, minerals are heated and subjected to enormous pressure over thousands of years before crystallizing and fusing together. slight changes in temperature or pressure leave their mark on the rock, creating patterns of green, yellow, gold, white and even blue."

it is reported that this car paint took nearly a year to develop. porsche finally mixed two types of chromaflair paint together and spent about 80 hours of work to apply it by hand.

chromaflair paints contain tiny flakes that are "composed of an opaque, reflective aluminum core surrounded by a glass-like layer," which gives them a color-changing appearance that appears in bright green, yellow, and gold hues, as well as dark gray, black, and blue shades on the taycan.

it home noticed that in addition to the unique paint, celestial jade also has an exclusive "dragon horse" badge. the "dragon" means the chinese lunar new year of the dragon in 2024, and the "horse" represents the name of taycan itself - "lively young horse" in turkish. this badge can be seen on the door sill decoration, the ambient light projected on the ground and all headrest surfaces.

in addition to the ten leather colors and fifteen stitching colors that come standard with the porsche taycan, the porsche sonderwunsch project uses the "leather to sample" customization service for the first time on this model, combining the standard color slate gray with the customized british green to create a unique interior leather color for the car. in addition to british green, the "leather to sample" project can also provide about 150 colors for users to choose from.

the taycan turbo s celestial jade will be exhibited at various locations in southeast asia before being auctioned in 2025 to support a "good cause."

the taycan turbo s celestial jade special edition is based on the mid-term facelifted taycan. its electric motor has a maximum power of 700 kilowatts (in supercharger mode), an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 2.4 seconds, and a wltp range of 630 kilometers.
