Embraer Executive Jets were the winners of the Private Jet Design Award in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards.

For the first-ever true collaboration between leading automotive and aviation manufacturers, the most successful business jet of the decade meets the gold standard in production sports cars, resulting in an exclusive pairing to create a seamless experience from ground to air. The duet between Embraer Phenom 300E and Porsche 911 Turbo S play a refined song using matching design elements that are only available in this limited-edition pairing.

The exclusive collaboration logo brings together the aeronautical requirement of lift — depicted by the Phenom 300E winglet — with the automotive requirement of downforce — depicted by the rear wing of the flagship 911. The logo is embossed on the seat headrests of the aircraft and debossed on the seat headrests of the car, as well as featured on the aircraft side ledge, speaker grills, and mounted near the main door. Each pairing also features a special badge, representing one of only ten pairs.

Design inspiration for the aircraft mirrors that of the car, and vice versa. Starting with seats, the sew style on the Phenom 300E seat was patterned after that of the 911 Turbo S. The seats in both vehicles feature red pull straps, a Speed Blue accent stitch, and carbon fiber shrouds to create a shared connection. The cockpit seats of the Phenom 300E were redesigned to match the car. In the 911 Turbo S, Porsche introduced a unique color combination for the steering wheel to match the aircraft’s yoke, with a Speed Blue accent at 12 o’clock, as well as the first Chalk Alcantara trim roof lining — an homage to the aircraft. To round out the interior, the stopwatch of the Sport Chrono package features an artificial horizon inspired by instrumentation in the aircraft cockpit.

The aircraft and car share the same exterior paint palette and general scheme. For the first time, Porsche has combined gloss and satin-gloss paintwork. The upper part of the car is finished with Platinum Silver Metallic, transitioning to Jet Grey Metallic at the bottom. Dividing the two paint colors is a trim strip with lines in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue. The car is entirely hand-painted, which is unique to this project and reflective of the Phenom 300E paint process. The alloy wheels of the 911 Turbo S are painted in Platinum Silver Metallic, using a revolutionary laser process to expose a Speed Blue underlay on the rim flange. The air intakes of the 911 Turbo S are painted in Brilliant Chrome to match the leading edge nacelles of the aircraft. The LED door projectors cast the Duet collaboration logo on the ground, and the door sill trims feature “No Step” lettering, like the messaging on an aircraft wing.

Ten limited-edition pairs of the Duet are now available for order. Deliveries will begin in 2021. For more information, you can visit https://executive.embraer.com/global/en/duet
