Porsche and SMEG have unveiled a limited-edition kitchen collection that seamlessly blends automotive excellence with Italian design. This collaboration pays homage to Porsche's 1970 Le Mans victory, offering a range of appliances that embody precision, elegance, and performance.
The Fridge 917 Salzburg is the centerpiece of this collection, limited to just 1,970 units worldwide. Inspired by the Porsche 917 KH Salzburg race car, it features the iconic Salzburg Red livery, complete with racing stripes and the number 23. Each fridge is individually numbered, making it a rare collector's item. Beyond its striking design, it offers practical features like a 270L capacity, double-sided LED interior lighting, and a 26L static freezer compartment.
Complementing the fridge is the Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine 917 Salzburg, also limited to 1,970 units. This compact yet powerful machine boasts a built-in coffee grinder, 19-bar pump pressure, and a thermoblock system for consistent brewing temperature. Its exterior mirrors the fridge's design, featuring Salzburg Red finish and matte black accents.
The Porsche x SMEG Toaster is a stylish and functional appliance, available in Carrara White Metallic and Shade Green Metallic. Signature Porsche stripes, matte black accents, and custom-numbered control knobs enhance its aesthetic appeal. With six toasting levels and three functions - Reheat, Defrost, and Bagel - it delivers consistent, perfectly toasted slices every time.
The 1.7L Porsche x SMEG Kettle combines Smeg’s 1950s style with Porsche-inspired details, including matte black accents and the Porsche stripe. It features a Soft Opening lid, removable stainless steel limescale filter, 360° swivel base, and automatic shut-off at 100°C. Custom numbering and Porsche-style icons make it a refined statement piece for any kitchen.
Blending Smeg’s retro design with Porsche’s clean lines, the Porsche x SMEG Blender offers four manual speed levels, three pre-set programs: Smoothie, Green Smoothie, Ice-Crush, and a Pulse function with three intensities. Its Carrara White or Shade Green Metallic body is accented with matte black and subtle numbering, while an auto-clean function and built-in measuring cup ensure convenience without compromising style.
For those seeking a more accessible option, the Porsche x SMEG Fridge offers the same iconic design elements in Carrara White Metallic and Shade Green Metallic finishes. These fridges feature the signature Porsche stripe, matte black accents, and a 270L capacity with a 26L freezer compartment. Priced at $3,999, they bring automotive-inspired elegance to everyday kitchens.
The Porsche x SMEG collection is more than appliances; it is a celebration of heritage, precision, and design. From the striking Salzburg Red fridge to the elegantly crafted blender, each piece transforms your kitchen into a curated gallery of automotive-inspired luxury.
