Porsche and Duotone Bring Electric Performance to the World of Kiteboarding

Luxury automotive brands are increasingly extending their identities far beyond the road. From architecture and fashion to yachting and performance sports, the world’s most iconic marques are redefining what it means to be a lifestyle brand. Porsche’s latest collaboration with Duotone continues that evolution, transforming the spirit of the all-electric Cayenne Turbo Electric into a limited-edition collection designed for life on the water.

Porsche has unveiled a new collaboration with Duotone, introducing an exclusive kiteboarding collection inspired by the upcoming Cayenne Turbo Electric.

Building on the success of previous partnerships—including the highly sought-after “Pink Pig” collection—the latest release celebrates the arrival of Porsche’s newest electric performance SUV through a series of technically advanced watersports products that blend engineering precision with distinctive automotive design.

Performance Beyond the Road

Rather than simply applying Porsche branding to existing equipment, the collaboration draws directly from the design language and performance philosophy of the Cayenne Turbo Electric.

Leading the collection is the Duotone Evo SLS kite, presented as an exclusive pre-release of the 2027 model. Developed for riders seeking exceptional responsiveness and stability, the kite reflects the same emphasis on innovation and dynamic performance that defines Porsche’s electric flagship.

The collection also includes a matching control bar, kite bag, Jaime SLS kiteboard fitted with a Big Air Handle, and a high-performance electric pump.

Together, the range delivers a complete premium kiteboarding experience inspired by one of Porsche’s most technologically advanced vehicles.

Automotive Design Meets Watersport Innovation

Every product carries subtle references to the Cayenne Turbo Electric.

The kite adopts the SUV’s striking Mystic Green Metallic finish, while the upper sections incorporate graphic elements inspired by the vehicle’s distinctive front grille.

The Jaime SLS board continues the visual connection with Porsche’s signature red branding across the underside, contrasted by elegant Mystic Green detailing and carefully integrated design cues drawn directly from the vehicle.

The result is a collection that feels unmistakably Porsche without compromising the technical demands of professional-level kiteboarding.

A Limited Collector’s Edition

Exclusivity remains central to the collaboration.

Production has been limited to just 1,156 pieces across all components—a deliberate reference to the Cayenne Turbo Electric’s impressive peak power output.

For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the collection represents far more than sporting equipment. It becomes a limited-edition expression of Porsche’s expanding design universe.

The Rise of the Luxury Lifestyle Brand

Porsche’s partnership with Duotone reflects a broader shift across the luxury industry.

Today’s leading automotive manufacturers are no longer defined solely by the vehicles they produce. Instead, they are creating complete lifestyle ecosystems that extend into architecture, fashion, hospitality, design and sport.

For Porsche, watersports provide a natural extension of the brand’s performance DNA. The same principles of speed, balance, precision and engineering excellence that define its sports cars translate seamlessly to high-performance kiteboarding.

Engineering Without Boundaries

The Porsche x Duotone collection demonstrates how modern luxury brands continue to explore new ways of expressing their identities beyond traditional product categories.

By combining cutting-edge sporting technology with Porsche’s unmistakable design language, the collaboration creates an experience that appeals equally to automotive enthusiasts, collectors and adventure seekers.

It is another reminder that for today’s luxury brands, innovation is no longer confined to the road—it now extends to every aspect of an aspirational lifestyle.

The Business of Being Yourself. Yasmin Furmie, co The Business of Being Yourself.

Yasmin Furmie, co-founder of SiSi The Collection, talks to Grandiose about personal style, collecting with intention and building a design language that refuses to follow the crowd.  Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge designers including Lezanne Viviers, Thebe Magugu, Rich Mnisi, Sindiso Khumalo and Lukhanyo Mdingi, Furmie makes a compelling case for individuality, excellence and staying true to what you believe in.

She also reflects on reinvention, creative freedom and the importance of allowing yourself to change direction. Her philosophy is perhaps best captured in the words she uses to describe William Kentridge: “The work speaks for itself.”

KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWIC KARUIZAWA 1960: THE WHISKY BOTTLE THAT EXISTS TWICE IN HISTORY

On 18 September, Sotheby’s will offer one of the most extraordinary bottles in Japanese whisky collecting: Karuizawa 1960 Cask #5627, “The Prototype.”

Estimated at $400,000–$600,000, the bottle was drawn directly from Karuizawa’s oldest cask on 20 December 2012, before the celebrated 1960 vintage was commercially released.

Only two bottles were ever hand-filled directly from Cask #5627 at this pre-release stage.

This bottle was filled by Osami Uchibori, Karuizawa’s final Master Distiller, who had worked at the distillery since the cask was originally distilled in 1960.

Matured for 52 years, Cask #5627 ultimately yielded just 41 commercially available bottles.

The Prototype is more than an exceptionally rare whisky.

It is a surviving piece of a distillery that can never produce again.

Some bottles preserve whisky. Others preserve history.
