PORSCHE 911 СДЕЛАЛИ ПО ЛЕКАЛАМ LOUIS VUITTON
ЧТО БЫВАЕТ, КОГДА СУМОЧКИ НЕКУДА СКЛАДЫВАТЬ
Louis Vuitton ventured into automotive design—and, naturally, nobody intended to start with something modest there.
A French fashion house collaborated with Singer Vehicle Design, the world’s leading specialist in transforming classic Porsche 911s into high-end works of art. The result is two unique 964-generation Porsche 911s: the atmospheric Classic coupe and the turbocharged Classic Turbo convertible. And yes, this is one of those instances where the phrase «the car matches the bag» suddenly became a technical specification.


The first car is painted in the signature saffron, cobalt-blue, and yellow colors of the fashion house. Beneath the carbon fiber body lies a classic formula for those who find the word «electrification» off-putting: an atmospheric opposed-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and a six-speed manual transmission. The project utilizes a four-liter version of the Mezger flat-six air-cooled family, and the brakes are carbon-ceramic. There is a trunk, because driving such a Porsche without Louis Vuitton luggage would simply be stylistically irresponsible.
The second copy is even more elegant. The Classic Turbo Cabriolet was conceived alongside Louis Vuitton’s Women’s Collection Creative Director, Nicolas Gesquier. The car is painted in the Calcaire Lutétien white shade, accented with gold details, and finished with precious wood veneers—partially inspired by classic motorboats. A 3.8-liter biturbo boxer engine, producing around 510 horsepower, powers the vehicle. The car evokes a cruise along the Côte d’Azur, yet it drives with such capability that the Louis Vuitton Panama hat will remain at the last intersection.
But the true luxury festival begins within. Louis Vuitton utilized its signature leatherworking techniques, Malletage stitching, monogram motifs, and elements referencing the brand’s legendary trunks. Even the design of the gear shifter is inspired by the Noé bag. The clocks can be removed from the car and turned into desk clocks. Separate luggage sets, clothing, gloves, shoes, sunglasses, and other accessories were prepared for the cars. In short, the owner of a Singer car no longer has to worry about matching the strap color to the interior—the problem is officially solved.
The partnership turned out almost perfect. Singer has spent decades proving that an old Porsche can be disassembled down to the screw and reassembled to become an even stronger object of desire. Louis Vuitton does something similar with travel and luggage. Now, these two philosophies have met: a Porsche for the person for whom a standard 911 was not expensive enough, and a standard suitcase was not automotive enough.
