Rare Shades 7 marks the New York debut of 000 Magazine’s acclaimed color-focused Porsche exhibition, hosted at Wildflower Studios in Queens.
The event showcases nearly 100 rare and historic Porsche paint colors across models ranging from early air-cooled cars to modern GT vehicles.
Highlights include the premiere of the film Birch Green, the public display of a historic Sonderwunsch 930 Turbo, and exclusive 000 Magazine collaboration models created with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
Guests from across the US and Europe attend the event, which attracts a young and design-focused audience, reinforcing color as a powerful entry point into Porsche culture.
When 000 Magazine co-founder Alex Palevsky first floated the idea of an event dedicated to Porsche’s long-running fascination with unconventional paint colors, it was little more than an ambitious experiment. Eight years on, Rare Shades has evolved into one of the marque’s most distinctive gatherings, and last Saturday the event arrived in New York City for the first time, transforming a sprawling Queens studio complex into a vivid celebration of automotive design, heritage, and individuality.
