Porsche's first all-electric sports car, the Taycan, is finally being delivered in Japan. To coincide with this, 'Porsche Taycan Pop-up Harajuku' has opened, offering not only the chance to physically interact with the Taycan on display but also a lottery-based experiential test drive for those who apply in advance.
The space, designed to embody the world of the Taycan, will also host various exhibitions and events throughout the period. From December 8 (Tue) to 13 (Sun), limited merchandise by contemporary artist Daniel Arsham will be displayed, created by '2G,' a new-style studio formed by the convergence of top talents in three genres: 'Gallery' by NANZUKA, 'Concept Shop' by KOGI 'POGGY' Motofumi and Daytona International, and 'Art Toy' by MEDICOM TOY. Additionally, the art piece 'Crystal Eroded Porsche 911,' a collaboration between Porsche and Daniel Arsham, will be showcased.
