Today’s parking lots are a somber corral of monochrome vehicles painted to fade into the background. Because bold statements offend just as easily as inspire. Black? White? Gray? Inoffensive sure bets. Peru Red? It makes you feel something. Strongly. Porsche’s palette has always leaned bold. Rare Shades is 000’s traveling celebration of exactly that.

Last week, Rare Shades landed at a film production studio in New York City during the NYCxDESIGN Festival. Our friends at 000 were kind enough to extend an invite. The exhibit was incredible, with a fine selection of Porsches from across the brand’s history and model range painted in nearly 100 of Zuffenhausen’s rarest and most daring hues. And one very black Slantnose, the last 930 completed in 1990, displayed lonesome in an all-black sound stage.

CIO’s architect-in-residence, Dan Cubric ), was impressed with how the vibrant spectrum of color on display reverberated across the galvanized walls of WildFlower Studios. The space, designed by renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, was an attraction all its own. 000’s site selection elevated the autobahn artistry within it, and vice versa.

Thank you to 000 for the inspiring experience. Keep rare Porsche colors in your head as we get closer to announcing this year’s location. We have a Sonderwunsch unicorn to take you on a tour of Check26.

The Off The Map Tour is back on the road next month and headed to Euroquipe. Why a book tour? Easy answer: we want to share the CIO story with as many like-minded car enthusiasts as possible. Complex answer: showcasing the book at CIO partner locations and inspiring motorhead hubs extends the book’s narrative web into the real world. The people, the places, and the cars on the OTM tour are part of the greater Checkeditout story. Euroquipe’s been part of the story since 2023. They’ve brought some incredible cars in the past two years, with Adam and Rachel becoming great friends.




OTM Tour Stop No. 2 pulls up to Euroquipe on Sunday, May 17. The St. Charles shop is home to some legendary rides. New addition 996 Cup car. And the fastest 20-valve Audi on the Bonneville Salt Flats. OTM creatives will be on hand telling stories, signing books, and hanging out alongside a selection of CIO Porsches.
