As part of the Sonderwunsch programme in collaboration with Porsche Korea, her own personal dream car has been built based on the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.
Discreet highlights in “Paint to Sample” Meissenblue in the exterior and the interior, as well as a “Jennie Ruby Jane” logo that she created herself, are among the car’s personal features.
Painted in a metallic black, the car is named „Taycan 4S Cross Turismo for Jennie Ruby Jane“. The Sonderwunsch model will be presented at ‘the Sonderwunsch Haus’ with the start of Blackpink’s world tour here.
In a digital workshop that ran for several hours, the experts on the Sonderwunsch team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and the Style Porsche design department worked together with Jennie, 26, to work out all the details of the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.
The car was customised in the Sonderwunsch department of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur workshop in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.
“As an artist, Jennie is used to creative collaborations. She even brought a mood board to our meeting that visualised the initial ideas and reflected their reception,” said Grant Larson.
Larson has been with Style Porsche since 1989, and as project manager for special projects he is responsible for Sonderwunsch work within the design department.
“Being able to collaborate so intensively on my own very personal Porsche was an amazing experience,” said Jennie.
“I’m especially proud of having designed the visualisation of the clouds. I spend a lot of time travelling around the world – the sky and the clouds are my travelling companions and a beautiful symbol of these unique experiences.
"This is why I feel a special connection to them and am so passionate about photographing these nature motifs.”
Understatement was deliberately chosen for the exterior of the Taycan.
Contrasting with the metallic black finish, the 21-inch Exclusive Design rims are painted in Meissenblue.
The “Electric” lettering on the driver’s door, the model name on the rear and the cloud logos on the B-pillars are all in this special blue from the “Paint to Sample” programme.
The front door entry guards carry illuminated “Jennie Ruby Jane” lettering, with her nickname “NiNi” to be seen in the rear doors.
In accordance with Jennie’s wishes, the Porsche typography of the current 911 generation (Type 992) was used. The logo projector in the front doors projects the clouds onto the ground beside the car.
The name of the artist and “Sonderwunsch” appear on the wheel hub covers.
In the interior, the combination of Black, Crayon and Meissenblue creates an elegant ambience.
Only the seats and the top part of the dashboard are in Crayon.
Meissenblue accents the door panel trim, the borders of the air vents, the cup holders and the top centre marking of the steering wheel rim.
The headrests are adorned with the clouds designed by Jennie.
A special indoor car cover was also created with this personal touch.
Another special feature also illustrates the attention to detail in this project, namely the black dog box on board for Jennie’s Pomeranian “Kuma” (Japanese for “bear”).
Like the rest of the car, the box is accented in Meissen Blue, including the dog’s name on the front. The cloud appears on the inside of the transport box.
Jennie started her singing career in August 2016 with Blackpink.
In addition, Jennie released her first solo single "Solo" in 2018, captivating her music fans all over the world with a different charm from the music that she showed as a group.
Jennie has a global influence, with 70.35 million (as of Sept 24) followers on her Instagram. Jennie is also active as a brand ambassador for various famous fashion, beauty, food, and living brands. Recently, Jennie's group Blackpink released their second full-length album "Born Pink".
