Porsche 917 Sofa

Generally, we love limited edition products, unusual sofa designs and, of course, Porches. When you combine those three things, the result is expensive, but perhaps a little less than what we would have hoped for in terms of elegance. The Porsche 917 Sofa is made of fiberglass and even comes equipped with real working headlights, although they won't really help you if you want to get some reading done as you relax on it. The seat has a leather base, but the rest of the piece is covered with nine coats of two pack automotive paint, just like a real Porsche. It is being produced by Inspired Design and each sofa from the limited run will sell for about $7,500.

Yuck, this piece of crap is freaking ugly. Why should I want that in my house. Why should I buy a 7.5K one seater. I will buy a car for that amount or give it to charity.

You can't handle the truth !!! Nov 6th 2006 12:07AM

It has working headlights so the buyer of this rediculous "pile" can see where they are when he/she pulls their head out of their azz !!!

If you could somehow fashion it into a fully functional toilet I would definitly try to get my hands on one...

Uhm, all other comments aside; it says "sofa." This thing seats one person. By my definition, it's a chair. At this price, a chair is going to have to do a lot more for me than what this thing does.

Hey llinda, Just because some people in this world make good money and make enough to buy this couch, chair or what ever it really is, it does not mean they need to give it to people who cannot afford it. I make good money doing what I do...That does not mean I will work my tail off 50-75 hours a week to "Give It away"

Hideous! Looks more like a wide chair than a sofa. The guy takes up almost the whole seat.

looks like a bunch of high dollar crap .

I'd rather own the real thing and drive it. This sofa is like something you'd see in a little boy's room, not an adult's house.

The guy in the photo should have saved the money on this rediculous sofa and used it towards some hair grafts.

It's a faithful replica of the front of a Porsche 917, an extremely successful race car from the 1970s. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it belongs in a theme room or some such. $7,500 isn't that much to pay for such a piece, as you just can't go out to the local junk yard and rip the hood off of the first old car you see. Google "car sofa" and see what comes up. People have turned far uglier Chevies into sofas, and nobody seems to be complaining.

I’m a fairly liberal guy but I’ve got to say you whiney closed minded obviously monetarily limited pucks should relax, send a few buck to Red Cross (as I’ve done far beyond your average yearly income) and let your imagination go for a brief if in not unproductive moment and appreciate the fun, creative, and yeah so what, useless purpose of this fun as hell chair. I dare you to justify every purchase you’ve ever made and if you can for God sakes I hope you never meet me in a bar because I won’t buy you your usual generic beer with a water back. This sofa (chair) whatever you want to call it is inspired, well crafted and at the very least a conversation piece which is more than I can say about your salad spinner or IKEA shelve unit made from saw dust and yack poop. Relax, let your mind dream and realize that not everything has to have an optimal function, if you don’t believe me look between your legs. To the crazy anti-socialist bastards at Inspired Designs, nice work, good luck and I can’t wait to see what your unstructured minds bring us next. I wish I thought of it first. That being said I will continue to drink my snobby overly price tequila and wait for some nerd to correct my grammar.
