Porsche Korea unveiled a battery-electric shooting brake on Wednesday designed in collaboration with K-pop group BLACKPINK star Jennie.

The “Taycan 4S Cross Turismo for Jennie Ruby Jane” is a collaboration between the K-pop star and the German automaker's Sonderwunsch House division that customizes the luxury sports cars to meet customers' needs.

Sonderwunsch means special request in German.

The exterior of the vehicle is metallic black, and the Meissen Blue color is applied to the 21-inch exclusively-designed rim to offer a contrast.

At Jennie's request, a cloud logo is projected onto the ground from the side of the vehicle through the front door logo projector. The artist's name and Sonderwunsch are displayed on the wheel hub cover.

There is also a black pet carrier for the car for Jennie's dog. Like other elements of the vehicle, the pet carrier is highlighted in Meissen Blue, including the name of the dog on the front, and clouds designed by Jenny are applied inside the carrier.

"It was a very special experience to work with a young female creative leader, Jennie of Blackpink, an influential global icon representing Generation Z, for Porsche Korea's first Sonderwunsch project," Porsche Korea CEO Holger Gerrmann said. “She has been an enthusiastic influence in creating this car.”

The new Sonderwunsch model in metallic black color will be on display at the Sonderwunsch House in southern Seoul through Oct. 26, and can also be seen at the Black Pink World Tour concert starting in Seoul on Oct. 15.
