From wearables to merchandise and gear, Porsche Design has an extensive list of products on sale today

While the PD brand has a loyal fan-base, brand caché has taken over and anything inspired by the Porsche brand sells

Take for example this 2.7-RS lamp

Or this frankly bizarre pair of shoes, designed to quite-literally look like a 911

Along similar lines, is this GT3-inspired stroller, that thankfully isn't real

But the madness continues with yet another Facebook find, this time a bag-pack designed to look like the rear-end of a Porsche 911

The main shell with features like vertical strakes that generally sit above the rear-air intake, found in entry-level 911 Carrera models. There's even a rear wing

Other defining features include details like the reflectors on the rear bumper

The pre-finished stage shows off a silver fabric layer, (designed to mimic paint I suppose) that wraps onto the shell. Spot the light-bar and Porsche script

Would you consider it over a more conventional bag-pack from Porsche design, which starts around $160?

This aerodynamic 911 bag is priced at $120 according to the Facebook listing

The Porsche 911 has always been a desirable sports car, renowned for its iconic design, powerful performance, and rich history

But purchasing a new 911 has become increasingly challenging owing to several factors

Waitlists for new 911s, especially high-performance models like the 911 GT3, can be extensive, sometimes stretching for years

Porsche prioritizes allocating new 911s to loyal customers with a strong service history, often leaving new buyers feeling frustrated and excluded

While production and supply are not a problem, the price disparity comes down to scarcity

This is not just for limited-run models, but also entry-level trims like the Carrera and GTS

The MSRP of the 911 has increased significantly in recent years, making it even more difficult for potential buyers to afford

Even used 911s have become more expensive, reflecting the increased demand and scarcity of new models

Air-cooled 911s, from the 1980 and 1990s, have become particularly sought after

The Porsche 911 has become a popular investment vehicle, attracting buyers who are more interested in financial returns than driving enjoyment

However, there may be a work around on securing a brand-new 911. Swipe up to find out more.
