Porsche designs that never made it from reel to real

KUALA LUMPUR: Seems busy days for Porsche, the German automaker first revealed the all-new 911 then came the Taycan EV, not to mention the numerous special-edition SUVs and sports cars in between and after. Despite the shocking number of cars the brand has introduced, not every concept or design makes it to the production line. However, to celebrate the brilliance and hard work of the design team, Porsche is now releasing the image of the said unseen design - first, the teaser, followed by a full image later.

One such teaser, the first of its kind, came out on 7th November, wherein we got a glimpse of the design in the form of a dark image of what seems like a premium breed sports car.

Though the teaser is very dark, on closer inspection we see a tiny windshield similar to the one seen on Porsche speedsters. Besides, the concerned Porsche Facebook post caption stated that the car in the image was specifically designed to celebrate the brand's 1950 racing success. Thus hinting the teaser we are looking at is a modern-day interpretation of the 550 Spyder race car.

The sculpted front and rear fenders look very similar to the Porsche 550 Spyder, while the overall design theme is very sleek and low. The rear engine bay vents and horizontal brake lights remind us of the 992 Porsche 911. However, the lower bodywork with top overhang looks exactly like the Porsche 935.

Now after seeing the teaser, we are eagerly waiting to see the car in full light and get a little background as well. Hope it happens soon.
