Would you get your fingerprint printed on your 911?
 

Serious question, would you? Porsche has developed a direct printing method that allows you to add it to your 992-generation 911. Their reasoning behind a fingerprint is the showcase the technology that is capable in creating more detailed designs that aren't possible with conventional painting. Porsche says in the future, there will be other customer-specific designs available.

This option will be available in March for European customers and cost $8100 additional on top of the sticker price.

I see April Fools Day got moved up a bit this year.

No.

I buy groceries at Aldi.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

How much extra to print your SSN on the doors? :D

No. This is some dumb scheiße.

There may be some interesting applications of this technology. Fingerprints are just a showcase as stated.

But I still get groceries at Aldi.

No to fingerprints. Holy cow who would do that?
If I sit on the copier and make a xerox of my bare ass could they put that on the hood? ‘Cause that would be awesome.

Yeah, I’m impressed by the technology, but to use it to display one’s fingerprint on their car is mighty dumb. Is this next?

Typed this while you were posting, wdi. Great minds...

Great asses! :D

"Good fingerprints but certainly not great fingerprints"

It appears I was bad. Mea culpa.

Can they put my entire gene sequence on there?

pay 7500 to have something that

- at a distance, looks like a strip of 80ies trimmed pubic hair on yer bonnet (with the crest/badge in there like some piece of bejazzle)
- reduces resale value
- gives your bio-metrics away to anybody who wants to take a picture
- just looks plain ugly

There's a sucker born every day

To quote the post:

The hood is removed, the biometric data is processed so that it can't be used illegally, and then a robot paints on the design. Finally, a clear coat is applied, and the hood is polished with a high-gloss finish.

Even so, no way I would spend a nickle to put that ugly thing on my car. It it were a sticker that could be removed and only 100 bucks I don't think I personally would want it on my car.

There are people that pay huge money for "art" like the bananas duct taped to a wall.

Imagine paying $120,000 for a banana duct taped to a wall.

My fingerprints are already all over my Targa... and I mean ALL over it!
Plus, they are life size.

But does the bonnet look like it has a bush?

I will never look at that car the same.

PS: Landing Strip is more appropriate

Maybe Porsche can upsell pre-scratched cars. Include life-like scratches and the correct paint to simulate hitting guard rails at any of the world’s famous racetracks. Customer chooses their favorite track. Great for barstool racers!
