“I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams, so I decided to build it myself”
Dr. Fredinand Porsche

WHY ?
QuA was asked to redesign the Porsche showrooms in The Netherlands. The focus of the project was to clarify what the
brand promise was and translate that into retail environments. The target was to create pride internally, and to increase
traffic through the showrooms.

What makes a Porsche a Porsche? Earlier communication used richer imagery, exotic destinations and European touring as a
stage for the product.

Research

Modern communication was more minimal, with a clear focus on engineering excellence. We wanted to create more
elements that relate to the brand.

8
For some Porsche was a luxury design object, for others a race car for the road. Both characteristics should be
reflected in the designs.

During the project research we drove the new 911 across Europe for one week, and visited the Porsche
production plant in Leipzig.

We held workshops using visuals to come to an understanding of the brand, the product and the customer.

Concept
14
The ‘Valueboard’ is the essence of the brand and is the basis for the design work to follow. It reflects customer
expectations, and brand deliverables.
15
Flooring should be asphalt and rough in contrast to the car.
Materials should be matt, as the cars are gloss.
Applied graphics should represent our cultural heritage.

16
The design should contrast the round forms of the cars.
Furnishings should have engineered details.
White furniture against the silver and blacks of the cars.
From the valueboard we create design guidelines that will compliment Porsche products.
