Unveiling Rare Shades 7: A Celebration of Porsche in Unique Colors

On May 16, 2026, Rare Shades 7 will unveil a unique display of Porsche cars painted in unconventional colors at the NYCxDESIGN festival, presented by 000 Media. This event promises to be a remarkable exploration of automotive design, featuring over 100 stunning vehicles at the modern Wildflower Studios in Queens, New York. This marks the very first time this expansive creative campus, developed by a team including Robert De Niro, will open its doors to the public.

000 Magazine, known for its meticulous storytelling and exceptional visuals, launched the Rare Shades event series in 2018. It aims to highlight the history and artistry of Porsche vehicles, taking a closer look at how color impacts perceptions and experiences with these iconic sports cars. According to Pete Stout, Editor-in-Chief of 000 Magazine, "Rare Shades is not just a car show as you may know it; it’s a study of Porsche’s design language through the impactful lens of color and finish."

The event’s venue, Wildflower Studios, is crafted for storytelling at its best. Adam Gordon, co-founder of the studio, describes how the design incorporates natural light and movement, allowing the exhibition to come alive in ways that resonate beautifully with the space. This year’s event only amplifies the creative synergy that Wildflower Studios embodies, subtly merging the worlds of automotive design and artistic presentation.

Attendees at Rare Shades 7 will not just observe but will engage with the ethos of Porsche, discovering the intricate relationship between design, color psychology, and automotive innovation. Unlike previous editions—such as the memorable Rare Shades 5 at Summit Skywalker Ranch and Rare Shades 6 at the Aga Khan Museum—this year's showcase floods the senses with a vibrant array of color, demonstrating how these hues bring out the various personalities of Porsche models.

The exhibition will feature various Porsche models, including some rare finds that showcase the brand's capability for vibrant expression beyond the traditionally preferred neutral tones of black, white, silver, and gray. This unique display offers both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Porsche from a novel perspective.

As part of the broader NYCxDESIGN festival, which celebrates all aspects of design, Rare Shades 7 contributes significantly to the thematic diversity of the event. It is a vivid reminder that design manifest in various forms—including those found in automotive artistry—can change how we experience and interpret the world around us.

Anyone interested in attending can purchase tickets through 000 Magazine’s website. The event runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, allowing ample time for attendees to engage with the exhibits and enjoy the atmosphere created by a merging of art, technology, and passion.
