I haven’t worn a pair of sunglasses for a long time, ever since I started wearing transition glasses. But I know that a lot of people use them as fashion pieces, aside from actually protecting their eyes from the sun. If you love style that’s more than skin deep, the Porsche Design P’8954 sunglasses will feel like a match made in heaven. These sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory—they’re a wearable tribute to one of the most celebrated sports cars in automotive history: the Porsche 911 Targa.
Porsche Design’s latest eyewear masterpiece, the P’8954, draws direct inspiration from the design elements of the 911 Targa, a car known for its unique blend of open-air freedom and iconic style. Just as the Targa’s instantly recognizable roll bar revolutionized the world of convertibles, the P’8954 sunglasses reimagine classic sunglass design with a bold, innovative twist. The P’8954’s frame architecture is a nod to the Targa’s legendary Targa bar—a distinctive, brushed-metal element that defines the silhouette of the car. This influence is reflected in the sunglasses’ striking double bridge and the seamless integration of titanium and rubber, echoing the mix of strength and refinement that defines the 911 Targa itself.

Crafted from lightweight, high-performance titanium, the P’8954 is as durable as it is elegant. The rubberized temples not only add a sporty accent but also deliver a secure, comfortable fit—mirroring the way the Targa’s design balances excitement and practicality. The lenses are made from premium polycarbonate, offering exceptional clarity, scratch resistance, and 100% UV protection. Whether you’re driving with the top down or strolling through the city, your vision is shielded with the same uncompromising standards that Porsche brings to its luxury vehicles.
The P’8954 doesn’t just borrow the Targa’s silhouette but actually channels its spirit. The sunglasses feature a geometric aviator shape that’s both classic and futuristic, and the double bridge is a direct homage to the Targa’s roll bar. The brushed metal finish and the Porsche Design logo on the temples add a touch of understated luxury. Each colorway of the P’8954 is inspired by finishes and details found on the 911 Targa, from sleek blacks to metallic silvers and golds. Every pair arrives in a high-quality case, underscoring the sense of exclusivity and craftsmanship.
While Porsche Design is a perennial favorite among men, the P’8954’s unisex design appeals to a broad spectrum of style lovers. Women, collectors, and fans of both fashion and automotive excellence will find something to adore in these sunglasses. For collectors, especially, the P’8954 represents a rare fusion of two worlds, bringing luxury eyewear and legendary automotive design together, with limited production numbers stacking on even more desirability. And of course, if you’re a Porsche 911 Targa enthusiast, these sunglasses are a wearable celebration of your passion.
