Porsche produzirá dez unidades do Porsche 911 Turbo S com acabamento idêntico ao do Embraer Phenom 300E

Se você ainda não possui uma aeronave, ou já possui uma e está pensando em trocar por outra, e ao estar em terra firme dentro de um carro, gostaria de sentir como se ainda estivesse nos ares, então seus problemas acabaram! A Porsche e a Embraer juntaram forças para criar o projeto Duet.

A parceria consiste em a marca alemã produzir uma edição limitada de dez Porsche 911 Turbo S que possuem acabamento na carroceria que condizem perfeitamente com os adereços encontrados no avião da marca brasileira.

Assim como a Porsche, a Embraer também limitará esta edição especial do Phenom 300E em dez unidades, e quem adquirir uma delas receberá um dos Porsches como parte do conjunto. Ou seja, esta versão do 911 não estará à venda a quem não for cliente da terceira maior fabricante de aviões para uso civil, atrás apenas de Boeing e Airbus.

Tanto a carroceria do 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S quanto a fuselagem do Embraer Phenom 300E são pintadas em duas cores, com predominância de Platinum Silver Metallic e parte inferior em Jet Gray Metallic. A divisão das partes externas de ambos os veículos é feita por duas faixas estreitas, uma na cor Brilliant Chrome e outra em Speed Blue. Além disso, a chave de ignição do carro e a parte inferior do aerofólio são ornamentados com o prefixo da aeronave.

As semelhanças entre carro e avião não param por aí. Quando as portas são abertas, as soleiras com os dizeres "NO STEP" se iluminam, para reforçar ainda mais a advertência, e o logotipo personalizado de uma asa de avião, desenvolvido especialmente para ambas as edições especiais, é projetado para o chão por luzes de LED.

Para complementar a identificação da edição limitada, duas plaquetas "One Of 10" serão fixadas no carro, uma no console e outra na carroceria, sendo esta uma plaqueta diferente. Ela não possui letras do alfabeto latino nem algarismos arábicos. Ela é formada pelo logotipo especial criado para os dois veículos, cercado por dez paralelogramos, sendo cinco de cada lado, e apenas o primeiro é pintado na cor azul, não importando qual seja a unidade produzida de ambos.

No entanto, caso você vá adquirir o conjunto, você pode tentar pedir para que pintem os paralelogramos de acordo, talvez não recusem este serviço extra, afinal de contas, o cliente está pagando, então é ele que manda, não é?

O habitáculo deste Porsche 911, customizado pela divisão Exclusive Manufaktur da marca alemã, é inspirado no cockpit da aeronave brasileira, embora as mudanças sejam, obviamente, estéticas em vez de funcionais, afinal de contas, ninguém colocaria um manche de avião no lugar de um volante de direção... ou sim?

Há vários detalhes em volta da cabine na cor Speed Blue, junto com superfícies em couro preto e risca de giz, além de partes em fibra de carbono com acabamento em alto brilho, presilhas de couro vermelho para dobrar os encostos dos bancos dianteiros. Como se trata de uma edição limitada, a Porsche diz que não oferecerá este acabamento em nenhuma outra edição do 911.

A Porsche e a Embraer também estão oferecendo outros apetrechos para completar o pacote, que inclui uma capa protetora para o carro, um jogo de bagagem que combina com tudo, e o sofisticado relógio Globetimer UTC 1919, com um design que reflete tanto o carro quanto o avião.

"O Duet é um pacote exclusivo desenvolvido em uma colaboração de design com a Porsche. Essa combinação rara e refinada estará disponível somente desta vez, por meio dessa parceria exclusiva. Sempre buscando oferecer a melhor experiência ao cliente, estamos reunindo duas das marcas mais notáveis nas indústrias aeroespacial e automotiva, agrupando empresas que são referência no mercado de jatos leves e carros esportivos, mais uma vez provando que não seguimos simplesmente as tendências, nós as criamos", disse Michael Amalfitano, presidente e CEO da Embraer Aviação Executiva.

"A Porsche e a Embraer compartilham uma série de valores comuns. Para essa cooperação, utilizamos o know-how de ambas as marcas para trabalhar em conjunto em um par único de veículos que são igualmente atraentes para o seleto grupo de clientes de carros esportivos e jatos", completou Alexander Fabig, Vice-Presidente da área de Personalização e Clássicos da Porsche AG.

Criado em 2010, o Embraer Phenom 300E foi o avião executivo "single pilot" a jato mais popular por vários anos, e chegou a ser produzida uma versão "Enhanced", que podia atingir a velocidade de Mach 0.8, ou 988 km/h. O 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Embraer Edition não receberá modificações mecânicas, então sua velocidade máxima é a mesma de uma versão normal, ou seja, 330 km/h.

O preço do conjunto carro-avião é de 10,9 milhões de dólares, fora os opcionais. Como uma unidade da aeronave Embraer Phenom 300E, sem ser esta edição especial, custa cerca de 9,5 milhões de dólares, então o Porsche 911 Turbo S, como você já deve ter imaginado, não sai de graça. Caso você tenha dinheiro para comprar a aeronave, provavelmente nem deve ter pensado nisto.

Porsche and Embraer present a duo of sports car and jet

11/05/2020 | Customers who opt for a special edition Embraer Phenom 300E business jet can also buy a matching customised Porsche 911 Turbo S.

The strictly limited edition is the result of the cooperation between the two brands. It is named “Duet”, and is based on the two sportiest and most successful products from each segment. The project team comprised members of Embraer’s executive jet design and marketing departments in Melbourne/Florida (USA), the Porsche design department “Style Porsche” in Weissach (Germany), the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in Stuttgart (Germany) and the Studio F.A. Porsche in Zell am See (Austria).

Porsche and Embraer: High performance on land and in the air

Both brands have the same goal: apart from a unique experience, they offer customers all over the world exclusive products that can be personalised and enhanced in almost infinite ways. “Porsche and Embraer share a host of common values,” says Alexander Fabig, Head of Personalisation and Classic at Porsche. “As part of our cooperation, we are using the know-how of both brands to jointly develop a one-of-a-kind duo of sports car and jet that appeals to both customer groups.” The special edition limited to ten units is aimed above all at customers who place great importance on performance, innovations, technology and custom personalisation. At the same time, the focus for both products is on combining performance and everyday usability.

"Duet“: 911 Turbo S and Phenom 300E

“A partnership of this magnitude could only be brought about by two innovative companies with a shared vision: to offer the ultimate customer experience. Every detail of this stellar duo was inspired by the particular standards of our discerning customers,” says Michael Amalfitano, President and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets.

The sports car and jet have the same two-tone paintwork in Platinum Silver Metallic (gloss) and matt Jet Grey Metallic (satin gloss) with trim strips in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue. The paint finish is produced in a complex manual process. A logo was specially designed for the cooperation. It takes its cue from aerodynamics and is made up of a stylised aeroplane wing of the Phenom 300E and the rear wing of the flagship 911 from the Sport Design package.

"Duet“ logo and vehicle key

The Duet logo is used in the exterior and interior of both products: it is embossed on the head restraints, for example, and also features on the limited-edition badge. Other design details on this very special 911 Turbo S establish a link to aviation: the individual registration of the respective jet can be found on the underside of the rear wing and on the sides of the vehicle key. The door sill trims feature “No step” lettering illuminated in red. The dial on the stopwatch from the Sport Chrono package has a printed-on artificial horizon.

Two-tone paintwork and elegant details: the exterior

The latest generation of the Porsche 911 Turbo S is more powerful, dynamic and comfortable than ever before. It is powered by a 3.745-litre boxer engine with 478 kW (650 PS; 911 Turbo S: Fuel consumption combined 11.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined 254 g/km (as of 11/2020)). The harmonious concept, which perfectly balances driving pleasure, dynamics and sportiness, can be experienced in everyday use as well as on the race track.

For the Coupé produced as part of the cooperation with Embraer, Porsche has combined gloss and satin-gloss paintwork for the first time: the upper part of the sports car is finished in Platinum Silver Metallic, while the bottom part is in Jet Grey Metallic. A trim strip with lines in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue runs over the sides and doors. All the paintwork is carried out by hand, like the painting process for the jet.

The 911 Turbo S in limited edition "Duet"

The alloy wheels in Exclusive design are painted in Platinum Silver Metallic and feature lines in Speed Blue on the rim flange. These are produced using laser technology. The side air intakes and side window trims are painted in Brilliant Chrome and therefore pick up a design feature of the jet’s engines. The LED door projectors cast the cooperation logo onto the ground. There is a special emblem on the B-pillar: in addition to the cooperation logo, it includes ten small rectangular fields corresponding to the limited number of units. One of these fields is blue. Every customer can select where this field is placed, representing being one of ten. This emblem is repeated on the outside of the jet.

Features borrowed from the jet cockpit: the details in the interior

Exclusivity is also the motto in the interior of the 911 Turbo S: here, the designers have realised a special colour scheme and combined black and chalk-coloured leather. The black leather surfaces are decorated with stitching in Speed Blue. The steering wheel also features the two-tone leather combination, matching the jet’s yoke. The 12 o’clock marking is in Speed Blue, the Carbon interior package is on board as standard and comes with a high-gloss finish. The roofliner is covered with chalk-coloured Alcantara. The front seats have decorative elements made of high-gloss carbon. The cooperation logo is embossed on the head restraints. The leather loop for folding the front seat backrests is red, matching the loops of the jet’s seats. The entire vehicle interior is hand-crafted, installed in the Manufaktur, and is not available in this form for the series production range.

The door sill trims feature “No step” lettering illuminated in red – a reference to the corresponding signs on aircraft wings. The stopwatch of the Sport Chrono package also borrows from aviation: in addition to the cooperation logo, the dial also has a printed-on artificial horizon. In the cockpit of the jet, a similar gyroscope provides information about the flight attitude, that is to say movements about the longitudinal and lateral axes, particularly during instrument flights. On the front passenger side, the dash panel trim features a “One of 10” logo. The front luggage compartment is hand-finished in black leather, with contrast stitching in Speed Blue. The sides of the vehicle key are painted in Speed Blue and are marked with the jet registration. The logo is embossed in the leather of the key pouch. An indoor car cover with “Remove before flight” tags is also included.

From Globetimer to luggage set: the accessories

Every customer who purchases the dynamic duo will also receive a Porsche Design luggage set. The high-quality luggage includes a pilot’s case and two weekender bags. The unique offering is rounded off by a special edition of the new 1919 Globetimer UTC timepiece from Porsche Design. The innovative timepiece picks up on the design details of the cooperation. For example, the dial features the same Platinum Silver Metallic and Jet Grey Metallic paint colours used for the sports car and jet as well as altimeter markings as a finishing touch.

The special accessories for the "Duet"

A special night design is obtained through use of luminous Superluminova material: the runway lights up in light blue in the dark, while the hour indices and hour and minute hands shine in light green. The tip of the date pointer is shaped like the Embraer logo. This is the letter “E”, stylised in the shape of a symmetrical plane. The black leather strap is made of real Porsche interior leather and features contrast stitching in Speed Blue. The cooperation logo can be found on the leather strap, the rear of the case and the dial. The 1919 UTC Globetimer Embraer is also limited to ten units and is exclusively reserved for owners of the jet and vehicle.
