Porsche Design unveils million dollar advent calendar

So you think Porsche only does cars? Nope, they also dig kitchens, maybe just to impress the ladies. Well at least they’re trying to court into five families’ kitchen this year. But I think it’s more like “five lucky families”.
The German automaker’s lifestyle accessory division, Porsche Design, somehow went and design something besides cars. But still, it’s somehow related to cars anyway. They’ve built something along the line of ‘world’s costliest advent calendar’. Yes a very luxurious advent calendar. Well instead of an array of tasty chocolates stashed in a cardboard calendar, the company has built an aluminium tower nearly six-feet tall. There are unique Porsche Design gifts designed to correspond with each day in the run up to Christmas, including niceties like a P’6910 mechanical stopwatch, a full P’7340 kitchen and, probably most impressively, an RFF28 “motor yacht” with a single 525-horsepower Mercury engine. Quite how they get the last two items to fit in the tower, I’m not entirely sure. Fancy an engine in your kitchen? Don’t worry if you think you’ll be cooking your stuff using a V8 engine like how Jeremy Clarkson does it. You won’t. It’s still a calendar.

The rest of the days are marked by goodies like Porsche Design cuff links, pens and sunglasses dipped in 18-karat yellow gold. And the price for all of this finery? A cool one $1 million, but with only five of the calendars being created, I guess it’d be too late for you to make your order. But please Porsche, don’t do this. Go back to the drawing board please. All the Porsche cars on the road looked exactly the same.
