Embraer Executive Jets has handed over the first limited-edition Phenom 300E aircraft offered as part of a “Duet” pairing with Porsche. Delivered at its global customer center in Melbourne, Florida, the aircraft went to an undisclosed customer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 


<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2020-11-06/embraer-porsche-team-phenom-300e-911-turbo-s-pair">Announced in November</a>, the Duet pairs the limited-edition Phenom with a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Embraer and Porsche are offering 10 of the $10.9 million Duet packages in all.

 


Embraer and Porsche collaborated on similar exterior and interior design elements for the Duet pairing, such as the sew style on the Phenom 300E seats patterned after the 911 Turbo S. In addition, the seats of both vehicles feature red pull straps, a Speed Blue accent stitch, and carbon fiber shrouds.

 


Flight-deck seats also are similar to those found in the car and the exteriors share a matching paint palette&nbsp;and scheme with a two-tone finish and hand-painted pinstripes in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue.

 


A collaboration logo is embossed in the headrest of the aircraft to represent lift and debossed on the car headrests representing downforce. The logo further is featured on the aircraft side ledge, speaker grills, and on a mounting&nbsp;near the main door.

 


The package also includes a special three-piece baggage set and an exclusive Swiss titanium wristwatch that matches the clocks found on the panels of the limited-edition Phenom 300Es and Porsche 911s.

 


“We designed Duet in collaboration with Porsche to introduce a seamless travel experience for those wanting to arrive in something totally original while holding true to our vision of delivering the ultimate experience in business aviation,” said Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets.
