"Leon Kennedy drives a custom Porsche in Resident Evil Requiem. The guy looks sick behind the wheel, and the shots of its dash as he speeds through the city feel in line with his cheesy, sexy aura farming, so I guess Capcom and Porsche got what they wanted out of the deal, but the game's focus on Leon's expensive car has made it a very, very funny target for modders."
"Leon's Porsche only appears in some of the early segments of, but Capcom has apparently been pretty precious about it, as you can't shoot the car when you gain control of Leon after he parks it. You can fire a round or two into plenty of other vehicles, but the contract for the product placement deal may have stipulated that the car must not come into harm's way."
"Resident Evil modders love to take the most ludicrous character or object they can think of and shove it into the latest game, and given that Leon rides around both in an expensive car and on a sick motorcycle at different points in, there are now plenty of mods swapping Leon's rides out for some funny shit, ranging from the Spongebob Squarepants Patty Wagon to a motor-powered wheelchair."
Resident Evil Requiem features prominent product placement with Leon Kennedy driving a custom Porsche in early game segments. Capcom protected the vehicle through contractual restrictions, preventing players from damaging it despite being able to shoot other vehicles. The Porsche's presence has inspired the modding community to create humorous replacements, swapping Leon's rides for ridiculous alternatives including the SpongeBob SquarePants Patty Wagon and motorized wheelchairs. These mods demonstrate the community's tendency to inject absurdity into the game, potentially undermining its horror atmosphere while maintaining Leon's cool aesthetic regardless of his vehicle.
