For Porsche enthusiasts who aren't ready to dive into vintage models like the Porsche 928 or Cayenne S, this might be the perfect alternative.
A one-of-a-kind coffee table made from a Porsche engine is up for auction on Bring a Trailer, with no reserve price—and it's already worth more than the sum of its parts. This table is crafted from the engine block of a Porsche M28 V8, sourced from the Porsche 928. While the internal components are missing, this hasn't stopped the price from climbing—latest reports suggest bids exceeding $3,000.
Pink Pig Inspiration
The table draws its inspiration from the legendary Pink Pig design, one of the most iconic liveries in motorsport history. Debuting on the Porsche 917 during the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, the design achieved iconic status despite the car not securing significant victories.
The engine block, valve covers, and intake manifold are painted in the recognizable pink hue reminiscent of the original Porsche 917 Pink Pig. Additional details, such as dashed lines and butcher-style cut labels, add a playful and humorous nod to this motorsport homage.
Design Features
Nicknamed "Pink Pig" due to the Porsche 917's stubby front resembling a pig’s snout, the livery has now found a second life as a decorative coffee table.
- The table weighs approximately 45 kilograms and is mounted on wheels for easy mobility.
- A glass tabletop rests atop four metal supports with stabilizing pads, ensuring functionality and style.
- The iconic #23 race number from the original Pink Pig car is featured on the table, making it a true visual tribute to one of motorsport's most memorable aesthetics.
A Unique Blend of Functionality and Art
For fans of motorsport and unique design, this coffee table is more than just a functional piece of furniture—it’s a creative expression of motorsport history and an unforgettable statement piece.
