Porsche Le Mans racing livery reimagined as luxury kitchen appliances by Smeg

FAB28 Smeg Porsche Le Mans style

Smeg and Porsche have teamed up to create a limited-edition range of kitchen appliances that bring motorsport styling screeching into the home. The collab blends Porsche’s racing heritage with Smeg’s iconic Italian design, and spans Smeg’s most recognisable home appliances, including the FAB28 fridge, bean-to-cup coffee machine, toaster, kettle and blender.

Each item adopts colourways and design cues taken directly from Porsche’s racing history, and signature automotive finishes.

At the top of the line is the Porsche x Smeg 917 Salzburg Collection, a tribute to Porsche’s first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970. Finished in Salzburg Red and limited to 1,970 numbered units, both the FAB28 fridge and matching coffee machine feature the number 23 race livery and matte black detailing. 

A metal plate identifies its production number, positioning the appliances as a collectible design pieces as much as kitchen equipment.

Two further colour editions, Carrara White Metallic and Shade Green Metallic, draw inspiration from classic Porsche paint finishes. These looks are applied to a wider appliance suite that includes refrigerators, kettles, toasters and blenders. Matte black handles, stripe detailing and customised interior trims carry the motorsport theme through to the finer details.

The FAB28 fridge, a staple of Smeg’s retro design line-up, receives the most significant design overhaul. A bespoke Porsche-inspired handle and graphic striping modernise its classic silhouette, while darker interior accents nod to the exterior styling.

The bean-to-cup coffee machine receives similar treatment, complete with Porsche striping and detailing. With an integrated grinder and one-touch coffee functions, it’s positioned as a hero product in the line-up.

The Porsche x Smeg collection is available via Smeg flagship stores, Porsche Centres, and selected design retailers.
