As we have seen, falling in love with Frank Ocean is easy for car lovers. Ocean’s car obsession ranges from Acura to Astro vans, Ferraris to BMWs. But of all the guest cars in Frank Ocean’s movie, the Porsche 911 is the greatest.
This is not being said as a fanboy of the Stuttgart brand, but as someone who loves simple machines. Simplicity and impeccable execution are the principles Achim Anscheidt followed when designing and building his perfect 911, which is purity personified. Technically, Frank Ocean doesn’t name the fast-flying bug, but on the album’s fifth track Endlesstitled “UNIT-TY,” Ocean slowed down his syllables and said, “I want to design Porsche Bugatti…”
We can interpret this as a reference to a single example of the 911. Achim Anscheidt is the designer behind the Bugatti Chiron, and he often turns to his own 911 project car to satisfy his palate. Think of his silver 911 as a counterweight to the tech-laden Bugatti. Less theme is more: less technology, less complexity; certainly less power, but also less friction between the car and the driver.
