Certain cars are deemed collectible. The 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S Artcar is a one of one purchase that is sure to be a mobile art piece for the lucky owner.

Porsche Schweiz AG and RM Sotheby’s are pleased to announce a new single-lot, Online Only auction set to be hosted on rmsothebys.com and featuring the 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S Artcar, the marque’s first all-electric sports car, liveried in the artwork of acclaimed American artist Richard Phillips.

The unique Taycan Art Car was created live at the Leuehof pop-up restaurant on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse in December of last year. To create the Taycan Art Car, Richard Phillips applied his large-scale 2010 painting entitled Queen of the Night—inspired by the work of legendary Swiss landscape artist Adolf Dietrich— to the body of the Porsche. Printed on vinyl and applied to the car with heat guns by German company SIGNal Design, the artwork shows a three-dimensional arrangement of elements and details of the eight-square-meter painting flowing organically up the front hood over the front fenders and across the doors, giving a feeling of speed with the leaves of the night bloom.

Moving toward the rear of the Taycan, the painted image glides over the roof and rear fenders as the flora opens to reveal the blue sky and attendant butterflies. The Art Car was also fitted with added customized touches from Porsche Exclusive, including an illuminated inscription of Queen of the Night on the door sill panels and Richard Phillip’s signature illuminated by the door projectors onto the underfloor when the door is opened.
