In one of the strangest announcements at today's Summer Game Fest show, Porsche revealed that it's partnered with Xbox to create 75 special Xbox Series X consoles in celebration of the car manufacturer's 75th anniversary.
One particular console and controller combination was shown off on-stage at Summer Game Fest, and I gotta say I am not a fan. The colors look a bit garish, and I'm not sure the racing stripe design really suits the uber-boxy monolith that is the Xbox Series X. And the big Porsche anniversary logo at the bottom of the console looks extremely out of place. It looks like a car livery stretched over a body type that absolutely does not support it.

There are a few other designs that show up in the background of the teaser video, and while there's no good look at them available, I do think they look a bit nicer than this frontrunner. This is a rare opportunity to see a Series X in something other than black, at least.
You can't buy any of these consoles in any case, as they're only available as part of a giveaway promotion in partnership with Porsche and Xbox. You can head to the official site if you want to take part in the sweepstakes.
