This 2001 "Hippie" Porsche Boxster S has been transformed into a rolling canvas through a unique program called "The Art Car" founded in 2017 by the Kansas City Automotive Museum. The Art Car program partners with local school districts and gives the opportunity for students of various disciplines to collaborate on a vehicle through mechanical reconditioning and exterior design. This art car was transformed by the students at Shawnee Mission East High School along with automotive experts. The final wrap design, vibrant, bold, and unmistakably Porsche.

Beneath the bold exterior lies a finely tuned 3.2L flat-six engine, supported by major performance and comfort upgrades including a new IMS bearing, clutch, tires, brakes, suspension, oxygen sensors, and spark plugs. The interior features refreshed leather seats and a new convertible top, while a modern Bluetooth stereo brings convenience to classic design.

The exterior design was inspired from Martini Racing's psychedelic 1970 Porsche 917K - one of the most iconic liveries in motorsport history, famous for its swirling colors and unconventional flair. This modern reinterpretation, shaped by student vision and artistic precision, pays homage to that legacy while celebrating a new generation of creativity.
