Porsche is launching a one-off edition of its Taycan Turbo S with Chromaflair paintwork inspired by jade, an ancient stone associated with longevity and fortune.
In homage to the jade stone, Porsche has unveiled a one-off edition of its Taycan Turbo S under the name “Celestial Jade.”
This model, which combines cultural heritage with automotive innovation, is part of the individualization program Special request from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, in collaboration with Porsche Asia Pacific.
Porsche and the Jade Stone: A Celebration of Art and Technology
Inspired by the visual and symbolic characteristics of jade, the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade takes the concept of personalization to new levels, highlighting its exclusive Chromaflair paintwork and details designed to pay homage to this ancient stone.
The official launch of the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade will take place on 5 September in Singapore. The vehicle will then be displayed at various locations in Asia before being auctioned off for charity in 2025.
The story behind the Taycan Celestial Jade
Jade, a stone that has been prized for centuries, especially in Asia, for its durability and spiritual significance, serves as the primary inspiration for this exclusive model.
The shifting hues of this semi-precious stone—greens, golds, yellows and blues—are replicated in the innovative painting Chromaflair that adorns the body of the vehicle.
This paint was created in a process that took approximately one year, requiring around 80 hours of handwork. It is the first time that Porsche has used two different colors. Chromaflair together: “Urban Bamboo”, a bright green with golden undertones and “Shifting Carbon”, a dark grey with black and blue details.
The result is a color gradient that, like jade, changes depending on the light and the angle from which it is observed. Celestial Jade captures not only the visual beauty of this stone, but also its cultural significance. In Asia, jade symbolises longevity and good fortune, which adds a transcendental dimension to this model.
Power and performance on a new level
The Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade is not just a visual work of art; it also represents the cutting edge of electric automotive technology.
Based on the refreshed 2024 Taycan model, this vehicle features a powertrain that develops up to 952 horsepower (700 kW) when the Launch Controlallowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds.
This acceleration is 0.4 seconds faster than its predecessor, consolidating the Taycan Turbo S as one of the fastest electric cars on the market.
In addition, improvements in energy management give it greater autonomy, complemented by a faster and more stable charging capacity, ensuring that the Celestial Jade not only stands out in design, but also in performance.
Custom details: Custom logo and leather
One of the most unique elements of this edition is the logo inspired by the mythological being “LongMa”, a creature with the head of a dragon (Long) and the horse’s body (Ma), which represents power and good luck.
This symbol appears on the door sills, in the light projections when opening the doors and on the headrests of the seats, adding a touch of mysticism and power to this model.
It also refers to the Chinese zodiac, as 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, and the word “Taycan,” which means “young horse” in Turkish.
The interior of the vehicle also reflects this dedication to detail. Porsche has launched the program Leather to Sample in the Taycan Turbo S Celestial Jade, offering a colour palette that can be customised according to the customer’s wishes.
