These factors, in addition to weather, traffic conditions and driving behaviour, can influence the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions, range and performance values of a vehicle. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. They are only for the purposes of comparison between different vehicle types. Where values are indicated as ranges, they do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offered product range. Official NEDC values derived from WLTP values are no longer available for new vehicles as of 1 January 2023 and can therefore not be provided. * All new vehicles offered by Porsche are type-approved according to WLTP. But who knows what the future will bring? In the meantime, when it comes to Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, pretty much the only thing stopping you create the colour of your choice for your Porsche is your imagination. *Well, if it really did exist, of course! As you've probably already worked out, Patina Paint was our little April Fool. With new Patina Paint from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, your special Porsche becomes that little bit more special*. Yes, as with all Paint To Sample cars, no two vehicles that are treated to Patina Paint will be the same. The result? A totally unique combination of patterns and textures that mimic the effects of traditional paint ageing in order to create a beautiful new look for your car. At the heart of Patina Paint, and what makes it so special, is the use of a secret metal compound that, following application, reacts with the air. It’s a game of fine margins, where changes down to a fraction of a gram in the paint mix can dramatically alter the outcome. There’s something akin to alchemy taking place when you mix paints for cars – and that’s certainly true of Patina Paint. Patina Paint is the epitome of exclusivity Ulrike Lutz Director, Porsche Classic Launched today, this cutting-edge technology has been developed by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur as part of its ‘ Paint To Sample’ programme, where customers provide an example of their preferred colour for Porsche to match with which they paint the car. If you too have fallen in love with the patinated look but aren’t prepared to wait, then Patina Paint is here for you. Patina perfect: Boris Apenbrink, Director of Exclusive Manufaktur Vehicles and Ulrike Lutz, Director Porsche Classic Patina, without the wait And the effect is unique to your particular car. Likewise, cars can change appearance over time dependent on how they’ve been used or stored. That broken-in look – the scuff on the sneaker, the discolouring of the denim around the knees – is a form of fabric patina. You still like them, but in a different way. And then, over time, they become ‘lived in’ and start developing a very different character altogether. That shop fresh, pristine look that draws admiring comments from your friends. When brand new, putting them on for the first time probably gave you a particular feeling. So, what exactly is patina? Think of it, perhaps, in terms of your favourite pair of sneakers or jeans. “It’s the epitome of exclusivity.” Patina Paint gives you the ‘aged’, rusted look with none of the downsides of the real thing The lived-in look “Patina Paint is the solution,” she says. Ulrike Lutz, Director, Porsche Classic, explains that there’s no need to park it in a barn and then forget about it for 50 years in order to let nature take its course. But an exclusive new innovation from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, Patina Paint, means that if you own a Porsche, whatever its age, you too can experience the joy of owning a patinated car in a fraction of the time. Until now, a car’s patina and its provenance went hand in hand. Increasingly in the classic car world, patina means everything. Rather like us humans, the life story of a car can often be told by the ageing of its skin – its paintwork – otherwise known as patina. It shows how it was made, where it was kept and how it was stored. The history of a car is reflected in its appearance. But what if you are buying a new car? Then Porsche has a hi-tech solution for you A paint that’s rewriting history Now, patina – the way a vehicle’s paintwork ages over time – is all the rage. There used to be a time when flawless paintwork was the goal of all classic car owners. Porsche unveils Patina Paint To Sample Good things come to those who can’t wait
