Inspired by the Precious Gemstone Jade: The Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade

In collaboration with Porsche Asia Pacific, the Sonderwunsch experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur have crafted a truly extraordinary Taycan Turbo S: the Celestial Jade. This one-off, fully electric sports car boasts a special pigmented paint that shimmers with changing light and angles, embodying the spirit and essence of the precious gemstone jade. Let's take a closer look at how the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade captures the beauty and mystique of jade while pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.

A Tribute to Jade’s Timeless Journey

Jade’s journey from deep within the Earth’s crust to a polished gemstone mirrors the intricate craftsmanship of the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade. Over thousands of years, minerals under intense heat and pressure crystallize and fuse to form jade, resulting in a mesmerizing array of greens, yellows, golds, whites, and blues. This natural process of transformation inspired the creation of the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch programme. This exclusive collaboration with Porsche Asia Pacific pays homage to Southeast Asia’s rich cultural heritage, combining vibrant craftsmanship with bespoke touches and mythical symbolism.

World Premiere with Chromaflair Paintwork

The Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade will make its world premiere at a regional launch event in Singapore on September 5, followed by a tour of various Southeast Asian locations before being auctioned off for charity in 2025. The car’s stunning exterior features Porsche’s first-ever use of blended Chromaflair effect paints, a process that took around a year to perfect and required 80 hours of meticulous hand painting. Chromaflair pigments contain ultra-thin “flakes” that shift colors based on the angle of light, creating a dynamic and ethereal appearance. The vibrant green "Urban Bamboo" and the dark grey "Shifting Carbon" blend harmoniously, resulting in the car’s transcendent name: Celestial Jade.

Unparalleled Performance of the 2024 Taycan Turbo S

Beneath its stunning exterior, the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade is based on the upgraded 2024 Taycan model, which offers more power, greater range, faster acceleration, and improved charging stability. The Turbo S variant boasts up to 700 kW (952 PS) with Launch Control, propelling it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds—a full 0.4 seconds faster than its predecessor. With a combined electric power consumption of 20.5 – 17.9 kWh/100 km and zero CO? emissions, the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade not only impresses with its performance but also exemplifies Porsche's commitment to sustainable innovation.

Bespoke Details and Symbolic Design Elements

In addition to its breathtaking Chromaflair paint, the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade features a unique “LongMa” logo, inspired by the mythical creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a horse, symbolizing power, strength, and good fortune. This motif, reflecting the 2024 Chinese Zodiac Year of the Dragon and the Turkish origins of the name Taycan meaning "young horse," is thoughtfully placed on the sill guards, door projector, and headrests, adding a layer of meaningful symbolism to the vehicle.

The car also boasts special carbon-weave finish components, designed to complement the Chromaflair paintwork. These handcrafted carbon-fibre elements replace the standard inlays on the front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser, while the airblades on the wheels feature this unique material. The varnish finish allows the carbon-fibre compound to shine through, with the surface shimmering in various hues depending on the viewing angle.

Exclusive Interior Customization with “Leather to Sample”

The interior of the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade is as luxurious as its exterior. Porsche’s new “Leather to Sample” program, available through the Sonderwunsch programme, allows for even greater customization of the Taycan series. For this one-off model, Porsche combined Slate Grey with Englishgreen, a rich, dark green that graces the doors, centre console, and seats. This program offers around 150 colors, and for those seeking even more personalization, “Leather to Sample Plus” allows for nearly unlimited color choices, ensuring each Taycan is as unique as its owner.
