The Super Veloce RS Black Edition coffee machine is a tribute to coffee and to air-cooled engines

The pinnacle of a Cars&Coffee event could come when participants fire up one of the Super Veloce coffee machines, such as this RS Black Edition, to enjoy a good coffee alongside dream machines, owners, enthusiasts and curious onlookers. But, given the physical qualities of this machine, which we will cover later, that seems unlikely.

In any case, the association of coffee and cars, beyond the fact that, for many, coffee is our petrol, has given rise to the concept mentioned above of gathering around cars, a pretext for chatting with friends, acquaintances and strangers about the world of the automobile while, in some cases, one of those present sips a takeaway coffee bought at the café closest to where the event is taking place, often regardless of the quality of the liquid.

But for a Saturday afternoon like this one, we propose another experience in which, for many, such as the author of this article, combining the passion for coffee and the passion for cars takes shape through mundane pieces that one would nevertheless like to add to one’s collection of fetishes.

Super Veloce RS Black Edition, a coffee machine for petrol addicts

Just as many seek inspiration in motor racing, whether competition or production, to create furniture, others use it so that coffee machines adopt the shape and, in this case, almost the dimensions, of the most iconic engines in automotive history.

Thus, the Super Veloce coffee machine manufacturer offers a spectacular catalogue inspired by the automotive and aeronautical worlds. But it is within the first group that we find coffee machines inspired by engines, from the 6-cylinder flat engines of Porsche up to the V12s of the most breathtaking Ferrari ever created.

This Super Veloce RS Black Edition is the coffee machine that pays homage to the last Porsche 911 with air cooling, or ‘air-cooled’, the 993. It joins another coffee machine that also pays homage to the 6-cylinder boxer engine layout, marketed as the Flat Six.

The RS Black Edition machine is an espresso machine handcrafted in a way whose weight is closer to that of a 911 engine block than to that of a coffee machine of its type: 21.5 kilograms. The same goes for its dimensions: 380 mm long, 420 wide and 340 millimetres high. Ideal for placing in the corner of your private ‘little corner’ in the garage, next to your armchair and your fridge and in front of your collection of Porsche, à la Magnus Walker.

A coffee machine, without a doubt, for the purest followers of Porsche, for those who threw their hands up to their heads when it was announced that the Porsche 996 would be the first ‘911’ with water cooling rather than air cooling, for those who can afford the €10,200 this RS Black Edition coffee machine costs, although, if that price is beyond the budget, the Flat Six is cheaper: €9,300.
