L'Art De L'Automobile x Porsche
The Parisian fashion label “L'Art De L'Automobile” embodies the connection between vehicles and fashion. Its founder, Arthur Kar, has now fulfilled a lifelong dream by specially redesigning a Porsche 968, in collaboration with the Stuttgart marque.
The art car bears the name “968 L'ART“ and epitomises Kar's ambition to transfer the perception of art to the automotive world. Fittingly, the vehicle will make its debut during Paris Fashion Week and will be on display as part of an art installation in the Marais district of the French capital from 30 September to 3 October 2021.
The 968 L'ART was created with loving attention to detail over a period of 18 months, inside a Paris workshop. It is no coincidence that the basis of the art car is the Porsche 968, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Moreover, the styling of the car which is suitable for everyday use fits in perfectly with that of the streetwear label. The art car’s design is based on the retro look of the early 1990s, but with an updated and modern flair.
The roof has been removed, turning it into a roadster. Kar and his team developed a shade of green especially for the project. Another highlight is the rear, which is inspired by that of the classic Porsche Speedster. The taillights have been completely redesigned and feature ‘KAR’ lettering.
