Now in its seventh edition, 000's innovative Rare Shades event series explores Porsche through time, design, and the psychology of color—putting both newcomers to the marque and seasoned enthusiasts on equal footing as they consider its sports cars from a new perspective. "Rare Shades isn't a car show as you know them," said 000 Editor-in-Chief Pete Stout. "It's a study of Porsche's form language through the lens of one studio's remarkable impact in the world of color and trim. 000 launched Rare Shades in 2018 to highlight that history within a modern automotive landscape dominated by black, white, silver, and gray cars—not to mention our desire to see a wide array of unusual Porsche colors in one place."
Rare Shades 5 was hosted at Summit Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, while Rare Shades 6 took place at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. This year's venue in New York City will be an integral part of the Rare Shades 7 experience.
"Wildflower Studios was designed to enable storytelling at the highest level," said Adam Gordon, cofounder of Wildflower Studios. "Rare Shades 7 brings that vision into a new context—where design, light, and movement come together in a way that feels both unexpected and entirely natural for this space."
With more than 100 cars on display, Rare Shades 7 will allow attendees to sample an important element of 000's core ethos: exploring not just what happened at Porsche, but why.
