Porsche owner with big breasts protests against the brand’s ‘machismo’

Presenter and influencer Ana Paula Oliveira proposed an unusual debate on automotive ergonomics and gender issues after spending more than R$ 30 thousand on an unusual modification. Owner of a Porsche valued at more than R$ 1 million, Ana Paula had to customize the driver’s seat to accommodate her breasts with her silicone prostheses, which add up to 2,000 ml. According to Oliveira, the episode shows that the super sports car industry designs vehicles ignoring the female anatomy.

At the age of 50, the Band presenter reports that the typical rigidity of high-performance car seats, designed to hold the body in high-speed corners, has become an obstacle. The volume of the prostheses generated an involuntary projection of the trunk forward, compromising posture, safety and comfort when driving.

Technical and critical adaptation to industry

“That’s when I understood that many sports cars are designed for a male body standard. With my body today, that ergonomics just didn’t work,” said the influencer. The solution found was not aesthetic, but structural: the renovation of the car kept the leather and the original design of the German automaker, but profoundly altered the internal engineering of the seat.

The tapestry and customization process involved adjustments to the density of the foam, the depth of the backrest, and the repositioning of the support points of the spine. The goal was to create a cavity that would accommodate the new chest volume without forcing the driver against the steering wheel.

For Ana Paula, the high investment is justified by the usefulness of the luxury car. “It was not something punctual. It bothered me every time I got in the car,” she explains. The adaptation raises the question that, in millionaire vehicles, customization should serve the driver, and not require the driver to mold himself to the machine. “Today I sit naturally. Instead of me trying to adapt to the car, it was the car that had to adapt to me,” he concludes.
