Porsche creativity makes a return to SXSW®
09/03/2023
Spotlighting one-of-a-kind collaborations, Porsche’s return to South by Southwest® will celebrate the power of collaborations.
South by Southwest® celebrates creativity in all its forms – from new tech to films to music – meaning it’s an ideal venue for Porsche to reveal its latest creative endeavors. Highlights will include Mirage and two 20 ft. statues of Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal from the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie, joined by the incredible Vision 357 design study – making its U.S. debut – and inspiring works of automotive art by Daniel Arsham, Vexx and Chris Labrooy.
Porsche is returning for its second year to the festival, which attracts tens of thousands of professionals to Austin, Texas. The exhibit will run from March 10 – 14 in downtown Austin (400 Congress Ave.), highlighting unique and bold designs, but also numerous panel discussions centered on collaborations with partners like Paramount Pictures, FaZe Clan, Up.Labs and Hodinkee.
“Porsche X – Collaborations Unseen” is the title of the installation just a few blocks from the Austin Convention Center. Once inside, guests will find themselves immersed in an intimate environment among some of the most exciting collaborations from the Porsche design team and its partners. Rooted in the Porsche spirit of being ‘Driven by Dreams’, the exhibit is designed to connect dreamers across disciplines.
Prominent art cars
In the leading role, ahead of its release in cinemas June 2023, the brand will debut Mirage, a legendary Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8, from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Guests will also enjoy the first U.S. presentation of the Porsche Vision 357, the 75th anniversary design study that pays homage to the very first Porsche sports car: the 356. Alongside it will sit the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo show car, the first concept car from Porsche that was developed specifically for use in the new Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 4 and 5 and designed by Belgium-based artist Vexx. Rounding out the exhibit are two prominent art cars: the Chris Labrooy: 996 Swan Car and Daniel Arsham 928 Nebula Car, which will be publicly shown for the first time at SXSW® .
The program on the Porsche X – Collaborations Unseen exhibition floor will be complimented by musical performances and creative workshops from music to film to tech as well as gaming. Musical highlights will include evening performances by artists such as Madison McFerrin and MorMor on Friday, March 10; Big Boi and Sudan Archives on Saturday, March 11; and Kelela and Sadie on Sunday, March 12.
“Pushing the bounds of innovation, tech and design are core to Porsche’s DNA,” said Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “We are eager to return to Austin for a second year to engage with new creators and innovators at South by Southwest® .The ability to innovate is one of the intangible benefits for all attendees when we come together in these creative spaces.”
“At SXSW® this year, we want to focus on the power of collaborations,” said Robert Ader, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Porsche AG. “Collaborations are one key to shape the future positioning of our brand. They open new perspectives for us and uncover new creative facets of Porsche. SXSW® is the perfect place to explore new horizons for Porsche together with the creative crowd.”

They're in Taronga Zoo, I'm unsure if you'll need to pay to see them

The official movie website has updated two of the tour dates, which is good to see, as the Sydney date was 2 days too early… which could have annoyed some fans who planned to be in Sydney on the 27th, and then missed out on seeing the Statues.
(it was also good to see that they moved Mexico out of the Europe listing)

How Porsche Recreated A Rare Car For Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts
RamonaVirus
I need to see an Arcee poster before i fully invest interest…

Man those statues look so cool.

Bay isn't even promoting the movie, he only showed up on set once in Peru and that's about it. He's not the type of guy to hijack someone else movie.
As for the humans, it looks like only Noah and Eleina will be the main human characters. What other human characters are in the movie will be with very limited screentime in the NY section of the movie.
As for Lorenzo, I would take everything he says with a massive grain of salt.

To be fair it was a dying franchise. I didn't really like the first or second one, although snakeyes was terrible, which means something coming from a transformers movie fan (it was the reason I watched the first two though). But the failure of Snake Eyes probably would have resulted in the same thing as if they had just made a new GI Joe movie, which they probably couldn't since Channing Tatum's character
and the Rock probably has no interest since he's probably still grieving the loss if Black Adam and the subsequent DC universe that would have been led by him. I could be wrong but if I remember correctly they're rebooting the series soon.
Ugh, I heard about those and I'm hoping they managed to change enough so that this movie isn't trash. I'm hoping at the minimum, it can be redeemed by cool action sequences, like the films before

I've noticed Primes's rims aren't chromed this time around. Pretty sure his FL alt mode has em chromed…

Just got home from going to Austin, this was totally worth the 3 hour drive.

Yeah, based on now confirmed December test screening leaks, you will be thoroughly satisfied. Trust me.

I really hope it comes to Glasgow, Scotland

Almost forgot that Hasbro ruined G.I. Joe also.
SnakeEyes was the biggest Bullshit I have ever seen.
I wanted G.I. Joe 3. I liked the Storm Shadow Actor from
Movie 1 and 2 A LOT. Wanted to see more of that.
Instead we get that Bullshit SnakeEyes, where I lost
all Interest in the Storm Shadow Character.
Zoo
From what I remember, yes it did

The colors we associate with some G1 characters are very iconic race liveries. Here's Martini Racing (Jazz) on a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, and Alitalia Airlines (Wheeljack) On a Lancia Stratos HF.

Oh, it's not missed – it's intentionally left out.

Amidst all of the hype somehow it gets missed that Lorenzo is also the same producer who OK-ed Snake eyes: Origins. I get that he's part of the brain trust who makes certain more of these movies get produced- and ultimately you can't win them all- but Transformers seems to be his only franchise that works. Please Paramount, get another team together for a (good) GI Joe movie. With Classified doing well and a resurgence in interest overall due to the movie (whether it failed or not) and figures, now is the time to take another look at the Joe franchise on screen.
