The Porsche Taycan Artcar by Richard Phillips was sold for USD$ 200,000 (RM 820,800.00). 




An acclaimed American artist Richard Phillips who crafted the design for the one-of-a-kind Porsche Taycan Artcar with the help of application specialists from SIGNal Design. 




The Artcar itself was furnished with additional features by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur : “Queen of the Night” is inscribed on its door sill panels and projectors illuminate the underfloor with Phillips’s signature when the doors are opened. It was inspired by the work of legendary Swiss landscape artist Adolf Dietrich in 2010. 




Phillips said, “The full resplendent color of Queen of the Night culminates on the rear part of the car where the flower’s blossoms completely envelope the bumper and are dramatically illuminated by the Taycan’s signature horizontal light bar. The initial idea shaping my Queen of the Night was the Taycan as an icon of electric mobility and speed.”




The mobile work of art featuring Porsche’s first all-electric sports car was created in Zurich and sold at a worldwide online auction from April 6 to 13. The lot included an exclusive individual tour of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the birthplace of the Porsche Taycan, with Porsche AG’s head of the Taycan model line. 




Porsche Schweiz AG donated a converted amount of CHF 185,000 (RM 827,763.10) to the Swiss non-profit organization Suisseculture Sociale. This donation was supported by Porsche and project partners including artist Richard Phillips, RM Sotheby’s and the Weiss Falk gallery in Basel. The Taycan Artcar was on display at Porsche Center Zug until it was handed over to the successful Swiss bidder. 




“In addition to the donation itself, I am delighted with how this auction has attracted international interest in the important work of Suisseculture Sociale. I would like to thank everyone who submitted a bid, congratulations above all to the highest bidder,” said Porsche Schweiz AG chief executive officer, Michael Glinski. 




Suisseculture Sociale was founded twenty years ago to support creative artists and is independent of public funding. This organization supports all professional and full-time artists in every artistic field who live in Switzerland or hold Swiss citizenship. During the pandemic it was tasked by the Swiss Confederation with distributing emergency government aid to the cultural sector. 




“I would like to extend thanks to Porsche for its generous support as the Covid-19 pandemic is still with us and it will probably be a long time before cultural creatives can return to anything like normal conditions. Also, assistance from the private sector is therefore of great significance,” said Suisseculture Sociale président Nicole Pfister Fetz.
