AIRCRAFT AIRCRAFT

The aircraft and car share the same
exterior paint pallet and general scheme.
For the first time, Porsche has combined

gloss and satin-gloss paintwork. The

upper part of the car is finished with

platinum silver metallic, transitioning to

jet grey metallic at the bottom.

Dividing the two paint colours is a trim
strip with lines in brilliant chrome and

speed blue. The car is entirely hand-paint-
ed, which is unique to this project and
reflective of the Phenom 300E paint

process.
The alloy wheels of the 911 Turbo S are

painted in platinum silver metallic, using

a revolutionary laser process to expose a

Speed Blue underlay on the rim flange. The
air intakes of the 911 Turbo S are painted in
brilliant chrome to match the leading-edge
nacelles of the aircraft. The LED door pro-

jectors cast the Duet collaboration logo on
the ground and the door sill trims feature

‘No Step’ lettering, like the messaging on
an aircraft wing.
