For their next cross-industry collaboration, luxury auto manufacturer Porsche is releasing a limited run of espresso machines from La Marzocco. The collaborative design offers a special edition of the Linea Micra portafilter model of the Italian espresso machine brand in two special variants.
The Slate Gray Neo design has a sleek monochrome exterior that reflects Porsche's present, while the Martini Racing design pays homage to the retro 911 Carrera RSR, which won the 1973 Targa Florio endurance race in Sicily. The Martini Racing-inspired machine has vintage red and blue racing stripes, while the bright red base draws the eye to the double word mark.
There are only 911 auto-inspired machines, commemorating the vintage Carrera model.
Apart from prominent co-branding on the front, the auto-purveyor has infused their design identity into the machine with pressure gauges modeled on Porsche speedometers and handles that resemble drive mode switches. Both designs include a La Marzocco coffee grinder and co-branded espresso and cappuccino cups.
Porsche x La Marzocco espresso machines are available at Porsche Centers, Porsche Design stores, and the Porsche web store.
