Over the next two-months, the car will travel across Japan.
Some art cars are stunning while others can be quite disturbing. Not all automakers commission them as art pieces. While some cars are handmade and reflect the owner’s personality, Shun Sudo draws on them often to create something truly stunning.
Sudo was born in Tokyo, Japan. He splits his time between Japan and New York and combines both cultures’ rich artistic histories to create his own. Sudo mixes traditional Japanese ink painting (Sumie) with street art graffiti from New York and other places.
The Porsche Taycan that he has created will be on display in Japan beginning this month. The ” Taycan Soul Canvas” exhibit will be visiting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka in March, April and the Tokyo exhibit running until Sunday, March 6.
It is magnificent, with its white exterior and colorful button flower depiction. You will find large, bright red flowers as well as small pink flowers mixed with yellows and oranges. The motif shines through the contrast of the white car and the black wheels with the trim. Sudo expressed his delight at the opportunity to work with Porsche on this project.
The Porsche Taycan represents the brand’s first foray into fully-electric mass-produced vehicles. The full debut of the Taycan was made at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2019. Porsche continues expanding the Taycan range. Porsche unveiled the T aycan sedan GTS and Sport Turismo wagon with 590 horsepower (443 Kilowatts) and plans to electrify the other models in the lineup. In 3.5 seconds, the EV can reach 60 mph (96 km/h) thanks to its powertrain.
This is not the first Porsche Taycan-art car we have seen. The company was founded by Richard Phillips, an American artist who modified his 2010 Queen of the Night picture to fit the all-electric sedan. Another floral design was used, which is a common pattern for Porsche. The exhibit is open to anyone who visits Japan in the next two-months.
