<\/p>\n

When Porsche unveiled the fastest road-approved sports car of its time \u2013the 911 Turbo \u2013 in 1974, the sports car manufacturer brought to public roads what had previously only been seen on racetracks. Its 3.0-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine delivered an incredible 260 hp. In 2024, Porsche Design is thrilled to launch an exclusive limited-edition eyewear collection to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the reveal of this iconic sports car. This special collection, created in partnership with De Rigo, a world leader in the eyewear sector, features two distinctive sunglasses models: the Turbo No. 1 and the Turbonite, each embodying the legacy and performance synonymous with the Porsche 911 Turbo. The collection\u2019s sleek design echoes the exclusivity and performance of the legendary sports car.<\/p>\n

The One and Always<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Turbo No. 1 sunglasses pay homage to the first Porsche 911 Turbo, gifted to Louise Pi\u00ebch, daughter of the legendary engineer, creator, and inventor Ferdinand Porsche, as a birthday present in 1974. This eyewear model, based on the classic Porsche Design P\u20198478,seamlessly incorporates the original grey paint color and the legendary red plaid pattern of the vehicle interior into its design. The grey frame and the red hooks and temple tips create a piece rich in heritage and dynamism that represents both precision engineering and timeless elegance. The unisex aviator style sunglasses, made of lightweight titanium, feature an interchangeable lens system equipped with Vision Drive Lens Technology\u2122. The bold silver mirrored lenses, which feature a tartan pattern, can easily be swapped for grey lenses, thanks to the quick-change mechanism. The red pattern is also featured on the cleaning cloth and the gift box which bears the classic \u201cturbo\u201d lettering.<\/p>\n

P\u20198928 Turbonite Limited Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Turbonite sunglasses feature the new metallic grey tone especially developed for the monochrome Porsche crest on Turbo vehicles. Designed in this unique, elegant, and sporty color, the special edition of the P\u20198928 provides a modern and monochrome aesthetic that is both striking and sophisticated. The unisex sunglasses, sporting a squared aviator shape, are made of lightweight titanium and feature an interchangeable lens system with VisionDrive Lens Technology\u2122. This limited edition comes with an additional pair of green lenses in a specially designed gift box, featuring the characteristic \u201cturbo\u201d lettering, along with a cleaning cloth in the matching color. In addition to an embossing of the Porsche Design lettering, both pairs of sunglasses feature the classic \u201cturbo\u201d lettering on the left temple and on the left lens. Both brandings are also etched on the inside of the right temple. For each model, only 1,974 pieces are available \u2013 a number that corresponds to the year of the reveal of the original Porsche 911 Turbo, 50years ago. The individual model number (XXXX\/1974) is engraved on the inside of the center of the bridge.
