"Porsche Lifestyle Group has been building out an empire of watches, luggage, and accessories, but a full-blown appliance collab with SMEG? That's a different level of commitment. And frankly, it makes sense. SMEG's retro-futuristic appliances have been design darlings for decades, sitting somewhere between mid-century nostalgia and contemporary cool, and Porsche's motorsport heritage is basically unmatched. Put them together and you get appliances that feel like they belong in a glass-walled Stuttgart showroom as much as they do in your kitchen."
"The crown jewel here is the 917 Salzburg Red collection, limited to exactly 1,970 units per piece (a nod to the year Porsche clinched its first overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans). We're talking about a FAB28 refrigerator and an automatic coffee machine with steam wand, both individually numbered with metal certification plates. The Salzburg livery, that brilliant red with white racing stripes and the iconic "23" roundel, translates shockingly well to kitchen appliances."
Porsche and SMEG partnered to create limited-edition kitchen appliances that apply iconic motorsport liveries and classic colorways to household products. The 917 Salzburg Red collection is limited to 1,970 units per piece, honoring Porsche's 1970 Le Mans victory. The lineup includes a FAB28 refrigerator and an automatic coffee machine with steam wand, each individually numbered with metal certification plates. The Salzburg red, white racing stripes, and the "23" roundel adapt to SMEG's rounded retro silhouettes, combining playful styling with motorsport aggression and bespoke appliance touches like a GT3 RS–inspired handle scaled for the refrigerator.
