A collaboration between Curves magazine founder Stefan Bogner and entrepreneur Chanond Ruangkritya (the visionary behind Porsche Design Tower Bangkok), this event promises a rare peek into the creative world of Porsche’s design studio.

What’s the big draw? Porsche’s secret concept cars, developed under Michael Mauer, Vice President of Style Porsche, over the last 20 years. These designs, once hidden from the public eye, showcase the brand’s innovative spirit and forward-thinking artistry.

The star of the show is the Vision Spyder — a full-scale reinterpretation of the lightweight, sporty roadsters that Porsche engineers perfected in the 1950s.

It’s a perfect blend of retro inspiration and modern design.

But that’s not all. Visitors can explore other scaled-down design concepts, including the rugged Macan Vision Safari, futuristic hypercars like the Vision 918 RS and Vision 920, and the electrifying Vision E, a Formula E-inspired customer race car.
