By attaching it to the tailgate, it can be used as a living or camping space that connects the inside and outside of the car.

They also said that the remaining three walls can be optionally added to create a fully enclosed space, add a tent for bedrooms or storage, or install a tunnel to connect multiple tents.

Collaboration with specialized manufacturers

The canopy tent was developed in partnership with Dometic, a manufacturer specializing in outdoor equipment. In fact, Dometic also sells a tent called "Dometic Hub" with similar functions and area, which costs about 675 euros (about 100,000 yen).

On the other hand, Porsche-branded canopy tents will range in price from about 1,510 euros (about 230,000 yen) for the basic model to about 1,965 euros (about 300,000 yen) for the full package. This is the kind of price setting that can only be expected from a luxury car brand.

This product, which allows you to enjoy your car and nature at the same time, is sure to attract a lot of attention from Porsche owners.

However, the high price tag and the fact that it is only available for 4-door models may be a limitation for some Porsche owners. Still, this attempt to combine the appeal of the Porsche brand with outdoor living may breathe new life into the automotive industry.
