Pretty in pink: Porsche shows special neon-coloured livery for Formula E race in Tokyo
Timo Pape
Shortly before the Formula E premiere in Tokyo, Porsche has unveiled a special livery for the E-Prix in Japan. Together with title sponsor TAG Heuer, the German manufacturer has covered its two Porsche 99X Electric cars with a neon pink foil - a "visual homage to Tokyo with its world-famous neon signs at night and to Japanese street art and car culture".
At an event at the Terrada Warehouse in the Japanese capital, Porsche and TAG Heuer presented the special look for the Tokyo E-Prix - also to celebrate their long-standing partnership. As part of the presentation, TAG Heuer also unveiled a new connected dial that picks up on the eye-catching pink colour of the Porsche 99X Electric's livery.
