More recently the Pink Pig livery has been used to help prove that – despite what the old saying says – pigs really can fly. Anatole Lapine’s famous design was adapted to feature on a limited-edition kitesurfing sail produced by leading manufacturer Duotone in collaboration with Porsche. It was put through its paces by Liam Whaley – former kitesurfing world champion and a Porsche athlete – in the sea off of his hometown of Tarifa, southern Spain.
The Pink Pig sail was limited to just 360 units in a nod to the top speed, in kilometres per hour, of the 1971 Le Mans car. The famous livery design even made it onto a Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo that Liam drove. More than five decades on, it seems, the Pink Pig continues to cast its spell.
