The car’s custom colors were named after his family.
Sean Wotherspoon, streetwear designer, and Porsche teamed up to create the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo. In March, the brand displayed the bright vehicle at South by Southwest, Austin, Texas. It’s now opening the doors to reveal the same kaleidoscopic cabin design and custom materials.
This is a unique color scheme by Wotherspoon Taycan Cross Turismo art car and named them after his family. There are four shades: Loretta Purple (Nash Blue), Sean Peach (Sean Peach), and Ashley Green. These hues are arranged in blocks to give the cabin an unusual appearance. Wotherspoon is vegan so the upholstery in faux leather.
Wotherspoon recommends cork for the dashboard and A-pillars, tops of the steering wheel, section of the center console, floormats, and other areas. Porsche says that fitting this material can be difficult. The laminated wood is delivered in rolls and then the trimmers must shape it into complicated shapes such as the dashboard’s curves.
Wotherspoon made a name for himself in 2018 with the creation of Nike Air Max 97/1 shoes that used corduroy as an upper material. This fabric is now a hallmark of his designs and appears in the middle sections of the seats of this Taycan Cross Turismo.
Wotherspoon visited the Porsche Design Studio in Weissach multiple times to work on the car. He not only consulted on the car in person, but also the team used virtual reality to test out the exterior color scheme. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur customized the 21-inch Cross Turismo design wheels and black rear wiper covers.
Although you cannot have a Taycan with this exterior color scheme, Porsche plans to offer individual colors through its Paint to Sample Plus program.
This isn’t the first Taycan-based car. One was created by Shun Sudo, a Japanese artist. It features a body covered in flowers and decorated with a mixture of Sumi-e paints and street art. The Porsche car was on display in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka.
In 2021, Richard Phillips, an American artist made a Taycan car art vehicle that featured his Queen of the Night painting. It was decorated with a rainbow of flowers and featured a butterfly on its roof.
