While 3D software has allowed us to let our imaginations run wild in the virtual world, 3D printing has opened up a whole new dimension with the kind of stuff that we can actually bring to life in the real world. Just about anyone with a basic 3D printer these days, can now create some truly complex and sophisticated forms, all from the comfort of their homes. It appears that’s exactly what this 911 bag seen on Facebook is all about. Sure, you probably already know about Porsche-branded bags, and depending on the quality and price, it could be from the German brand’s lifestyle division PD or from collaborations with a sportswear brand like Puma or Adidas. But the one you see here is unique because it looks like the rear end of an actual 911. Let’s dig into some of the details about what makes this particular Porsche bag different.

Look, I’m not gonna lie. My heart aches a little when I think about the Porsche 911 these days. That sleek, timeless silhouette, the soundtrack from a flat-six (okay maybe just the naturally aspirated ones), the quality, and the ballistic speed, – it’s the full package, that some might call automotive nirvana. Remember back in the day? You could (almost) walk into a Porsche dealership with a wad of cash and snag yourself a brand-new 911. Sure, it was never cheap, but it at least felt attainable. Now? Forget it. Those days are long gone. Forget about showing up with a briefcase full of benjamins – they’re playing a whole different game at Porsche dealerships these days. Recent trends indicate a shift towards scarcity and acquiring a new 911, is more challenging than ever. But in 2024, prospective buyers face extensive waitlists for not only high-performance models like the 911 GT3 but also entry-level trims like the Carrera and GTS.
