Porsche CEO Camped In $7,000 Roof Tent On Top Of 911 Turbo S At Le Mans

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume enjoyed this year’s Le Mans right in the middle of the action. However, he didn’t live in luxury. He parked a black 911 Turbo S at the Porsche Employee Camp, a unique venue for employees to experience the race, with a rooftop tent, which he and his wife stayed in for two nights during the race.

Porsche introduced the all-season accessory less than a year ago. It can accommodate two adults and comes with an integrated polyfoam mattress. It has two side windows and a skylight for ventilation and views, which feature insect screens, and there’s plenty of Porsche branding in several places. Inside, there’s a mountain silhouette motif. The automaker’s original accessories and upgrades division, Porsche Tequipment, designed, developed, and produced the tent.

While Blume enjoyed the weekend camping on top of a 911 Turbo S, the tent can fit on nearly every Porsche model regardless of whether the vehicle has roof rails. Customers can install the tent on the Panamera, Taycan, Macan, and Cayenne. The Turbo S features the brand’s twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine making 640 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It can reach 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds.
