STUTTGART: Racing gaming has achieved extraordinary new levels of immersion over the years leading to new collaborations.
Xbox has worked closely with Porsche to bring its iconic design to the platform through hits like the Forza franchise.
These liveries are now a part of racing lore, and the Xbox 75th Anniversary collection pays homage to six of Porsche’s most unforgettable looks by reimagining them for the Xbox Series X console and accompanying controllers.
Porsche said it would unveil the following six limited-edition console designs at major auto and gaming events around the globe this summer:
> Porsche 911 GT1 won 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998.
> Porsche Hippie was a race car unlike any other. It was adorned in deep blue and bright green “hippie” colors.
> Porsche Pink Pig was a pink race car. Pink? Yes. Covered in butcher-style cuts. It’s a race livery that gained cult status.
> Porsche Salzburg gave Porsche its very first overall win at Le Mans.
> Porsche Racing Edition is often referred to as the white whale (or Moby Dick) because of its huge tail.
> Porsche 75th is the current race livery on the 963. T
While not for retail, over the next four months, fans in the US, UK and Germany can enter a sweepstakes from June 8 to Oct 1 for a chance to win a console and controller from Porsche’s collaboration with Xbox.
Each Porsche-inspired console will have a corresponding video shared on Porsche and Xbox social channels, beginning with the Porsche 963 / 75th Anniversary console.
