porsche 917 couch

Couches made out of old cars were always the ultimate bachelor pad accessory (at least in movies) in the 80s. The ultimate sign that you were willing to plunge offensive amounts of money into a bulky and uncomfortable piece of furniture because, let’s admit, it looked pretty cool.

And this Porsche 917-inspired couch is exactly that. Really damn cool. Rather than echo a classic 50s convertible or 60s muscle car, this is a flashback to the Le Mans 24-hour winners of 1970 and 1971.

It fulfills our other criteria, too. At $75,000, it’s about 1.5 million dollars less than you’d pay for an actual 917, but a kajillion times more than what any sane man would spend on a one-seater couch. And, with what appears to be some thin leather cushions on a fiberglass base, it’s definitely the seat you’ll offer to guests as you sit in something far more comfortable.

But if you had the spare money and space, you’d be a fool to pass it up. You get the choice between the Gulf and Martini liveries, and only 17 of each will be made.

And now we lay down the challenge – could you sit in it for 24 hours?
