I am a Porsche owner. Each to their own, however I can't believe anyone could spoil a Porsche like that.
Looks like one of the BMW Art Cars. I think one of those was done by Andy Warhol. Art is absolutely subjective, and I consider this Porsche beautiful, compared to all the "cookie cutter" Porsches on the road. Psssst!, I am a BMW driver, although I personally feel BMW lost their styling head some years ago.
I suspect the owners were on more than caffeine when they agreed to such paint jobs.
Art - very much so. I love the intricacies of the design.
My guess is that it is a wrap that can be easily removed when desired.
IM (not so) HO, Ferdinand is rolling over in his grave!!!

I agree completely....Rich
I wonder if that's a wrap?

Interesting and attention getting. Would I do it, or even think to do. Probably not.
Thanks for share and interesting photo.

Its definitely paint on a black car, there is a very much three dimensional texture to the surface. Its not a particularly valuable 997 cabriolet - and I forgot to take a picture of the sign accompanying the car.
Apparently a client had gone over with an art dealer to the artist's studio to look at some paintings, although he liked the artist's work he didn't see anything that he wanted to buy so the artist suggested that the client let him paint his car and this was the result.
It was pretty cool looking and since the artist is apparently pretty well known it probably increased the value of the car significantly.
Porche pronounced Portia (as in Hamlet). Porsh - ah.
