It's entirely possible as the Brazilian private jet maker has teamed up with Porsche to create a limited edition plane and car respectively.
Named “Duet”, it is based on the two sportiest and most successful products from each segment. The press release did not state the prices of these vehicles but limited editions typically cost more than the standard. In this case, the standard 911 Turbo S starts from US$204,000 (RM838,000) while the buyer of the Phenom 300E would end up paying US$10 million (RM41mil).
“As part of our cooperation, we are using the know-how of both brands to jointly develop a one-of-a-kind duo of a sports car and jet that appeals to both customer groups, ” said Porsche Personalisation and Classic chief Alexander Fabig.
The special edition – limited to 10 units – is aimed at customers who place great importance on performance, innovation, technology and personalisation. At the same time, the focus for both products is on combining performance and everyday usability.
The sports car and light jet have the same two-tone paintwork in Platinum Silver Metallic (gloss) and matt Jet Grey Metallic (satin gloss) with trim strips in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue. The paint finish has been produced in a complex manual process.
A logo was specially designed for the cooperation. It takes its cue from aerodynamics and is made up of a stylised aeroplane wing from the Phenom 300E and the rear wing of the flagship 911 with the Sport Design package.
Exterior: Two-tone paintwork and elegant details
The latest generation of the 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.745-litre boxer engine with 650 PS. It can sprint from 0-100kph in 2.7s (with Sport Chrono package), peaking at a top speed of 330kph.
For the Coupé produced as part of the cooperation with Embraer, Porsche has combined gloss and satin-gloss paintwork for the first time: the upper part of the sports car is finished in Platinum Silver Metallic, while the bottom part is in Jet Grey Metallic.
A trim strip with lines in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue runs over the sides and doors. All the paintwork is completed by hand, like the painting process for the jet.
The Duet logo is used on the exterior and in the interior of both products: it is embossed on the head restraints, for example, and also features on the limited-edition badge. Other design details on this special 911 Turbo S establish a link to aviation: the individual registration of the respective jet can be found on the underside of the rear wing and on the sides of the vehicle key.
The door sill trims feature “No step” lettering illuminated in red – a reference to the corresponding signs on aircraft wings. The dial on the stopwatch from the Sport Chrono package has a printed-on artificial horizon.
The alloy wheels in Exclusive design are painted in Platinum Silver Metallic and feature lines in Speed Blue on the rim flange. These are produced using laser technology. The side air intakes and side window trims are painted in Brilliant Chrome and therefore pick up a design feature of the jet’s engines.
The LED door projectors cast the cooperation logo onto the ground. There is a special emblem on the B-pillar: in addition to the cooperation logo, it includes 10 small rectangular fields corresponding to the limited number of units. One of these fields is blue. Every customer can select where this field is placed, signalling that the car is one of 10. This emblem is repeated on the outside of the jet.
Interior: Exclusivity in every detail
Exclusivity is also the motto in the interior of the 911 Turbo S: here, the designers have realised a special colour scheme and combined black and chalk-coloured leather. The black leather surfaces are decorated with stitching in Speed Blue.
The steering wheel also features the two-tone leather combination, matching the jet’s yoke. The 12 o’clock marking is in Speed Blue, the Carbon interior package is on board as standard and comes with a high-gloss finish. The roofliner is covered with chalk-coloured Alcantara. The front seats have decorative elements made of high-gloss carbon. The cooperation logo is embossed on the head restraints.
The leather loop for folding the front seat backrests is red, matching the loops of the jet’s seats. The entire vehicle interior is hand-crafted, installed by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, and is not available in this form for the series production range.
In the cockpit of the jet, a similar gyroscope provides information about the flight attitude, that is to say movements about the longitudinal and lateral axes, particularly during instrument flights. On the front passenger side, the dash panel trim features a “One of 10” logo.
The front luggage compartment is hand-finished in black leather, with contrast stitching in Speed Blue. The sides of the vehicle key are painted in Speed Blue and are marked with the jet registration. The logo is embossed in the leather of the key pouch. An indoor car cover with “Remove before flight” tags is also included.
Accessories: From Globetimer to luggage set
Every customer who buys the plane and the car will also receive a Porsche Design luggage set. The high-quality luggage includes a pilot’s case and two weekend bags. The unique offering is rounded off by a special edition of the new 1919 Globetimer UTC watch from Porsche Design.
The innovative timepiece picks up on the design details of the cooperation. For example, the dial features the same Platinum Silver Metallic and Jet Grey Metallic paint colours used for the sports car and jet as well as altimeter markings as a finishing touch.
Phenom 300E: Spacious and high performance
The Phenom 300E is the fastest and longest-ranged single-pilot jet, with a high-speed cruise of 464 knots and a five-occupant range of 3,724km reserves. With the best climb and field performance in its class, the Phenom 300E costs less to operate and maintain than its peers.
The aircraft is capable of flying at 13,716 metres (45,000 feet), powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 engines with 3,478 pounds (15.47 kN) of thrust each. The Phenom 300E offers a spacious cabin and its baggage compartment is among the largest in its category.
The largest windows in the class deliver abundant natural lighting in the cabin as well as in the private lavatory.
The comfort of the seats, with recline and full movement capability, is enhanced by the best pressurisation among light jets (6,600 ft. maximum cabin altitude). The Phenom 300E features distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment centre, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system.
The pilot-friendly cockpit enables single-pilot operation and offers the advanced Prodigy Touch Flight Deck, based on the acclaimed Garmin 3000 avionics suite. The features it carries from a class above include single-point refuelling, externally serviced lavatory and an airstair.
The Phenom 300E made its world debut in October 2018 and updates the Phenom 300 that has been around for 10 years. The Phenom 300 has been the most delivered private jet in the world since 2013.
