This week, the famed German sports and racing car maker Porsche is celebrating its 75th anniversary. To help celebrate, the car company is teaming up with Microsoft to create a series of special Xbox Series X consoles and controllers with designs and colors that match those of great Porsche racing cars over the decades.
Microsoft will make 75 of these special Porsche Xbox Series X consoles and controllers. They won"t go up for sale, but some of them will be given away over the next several months. In fact, the first six of these limited edition Xbox consoles are going to be available to win in a sweepstakes.
These first Xbox consoles will have the colors and design of the Porsche 963 car that will be driven this weekend in the annual 24 Hours of Le Mans race. You can enter the sweepstakes to win one of these six Xbox Porsche 963 consoles at the contest"s official website.
You have until October 1 to enter this sweepstakes. It"s only available for residents in the US, UK, and Germany that are 18 years of age and older. Microsoft and Porsche will be releasing other special Xbox consoles with different designs from classic and current Porsche cars over the next several months via social media, other sweepstakes, and additional methods.
