Porsche and Microsoft Team Up for Limited Edition Xbox Series X

Porsche, the renowned sports car brand, is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a branded partnership with Microsoft to launch a limited edition line of Xbox Series Xs. The two brands plan to create six Xbox color schemes that honor three liveries that adorned the Le Mans clobbering 917, the 1978 Porsche Racing Edition, the 1998 911 GT1, and the paint job that its most recent Le Mans competitor, the 963, wore.

Limited Edition Xboxes

Microsoft will not be selling these limited edition Xboxes, but will be raffling them off as part of a sweepstakes that Porsche fans can enter until October 8. Unfortunately, the sweepstakes will only be open to customers in the U.S., the U.K., and Germany. Porsche will celebrate the Xboxes at major auto and gaming themed events around the globe this summer.

Celebrating Porsche’s Racing Legacy

In its 75 years of existence, Porsche has created some of the most impressive racecars and adorned them with some of the most memorable liveries of all time. That’s what these Xboxes will be celebrating. “Xbox and its fan base are no stranger to Porsche and the incredible capabilities of its high-performance vehicles in our beloved racing and driving games like Forza Horizon 5,” said Marcos Waltenberg, Director of Global Partnerships at Xbox.

Shared Vision and Goal

“That’s why we’re excited to team up with the renowned sports car brand to create special edition Xbox hardware that celebrates their milestone anniversary, given our shared vision and goal of reaching global audiences who love cars, gaming and self-expression.” Together, the brands plan to create six Xbox color schemes that honor three liveries that adorned the Le Mans clobbering 917 (1970’s Salzburg and Hippie liveries, and 1971’s Pink Pig), as well as the 1978 Porsche Racing Edition (cough Martini cough) that was featured on the 935/78, the blue, orange, and white livery that was a fixture of the 1998 911 GT1, and finally, the paint job that its most recent Le Mans competitor, the 963, wore.

Custom, Limited-Edition Gaming Consoles

“To mark our 75th anniversary, Porsche is thrilled to team up with Xbox to design custom, limited-edition gaming consoles to continue inspiring gamers to dream – both virtually and in the real world,” said Ayesha Coker, Vice President of Marketing of Porsche Cars North America, Inc. “With over 30,000 motorsport victories to date, it wasn’t easy to select only six liveries, but we’ve chosen some of the most iconic ones that our fans will recognize from notable victories over the years.”
