Porsche Taycan in colourful livery takes centre stage at exhibition in Singapore
Porsche has become the official automotive partner for the exhibition called 'Dale Chihuly: Glass in Bloom' conducted at the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The centre stage in the exhibition has been taken by a Porsche Taycan art car that has been wrapped in colourful livery, featuring the Persian series of American glass artist Dale Chihuly.
The Taycan in its multicoloured avatar against the backdrop called SG50 Lattice has grabbed the attention of the audience at the exhibition. The automaker says that the Porsche Taycan's presence amidst the Bay's lush South Garden presents a striking display of history and innovation. Porsche will also introduce a test-drive experience for invited guests only over the next two weeks starting from 12th July. The guests will get a chance to drive the EV around the location.
