Porsche Macan Convertible: Here's Why It Never Happened

While the several droptop convertible SUVs have come and gone, find out why the German automaker has steered clear of this unqiue body-style

Let’s face it, folks. Crossover convertibles are the automotive equivalent of a mullet: business in the front, party in the back, and a whole lotta "what were they thinking?" in the middle. A niche market indeed with a distinctive taste. Sure, the idea sounds cool on paper, but the reality, as with most things that sound too good to be true, is a bit… off as you’re about to find out. Also, since we’re a brand focused on Porsche, I wanted to explore why the German automaker never considered going down this rabbit hole.

Crash Course: Incredible A.I.-Generated Art Highlights The Dangers Of Reckless Driving

Find out why this digital artist, specifically chose Porsche to showcase the importance of road safety

Cole Kessel is an A.I. artist, a part of a growing tribe of folks who use A.I. tools like Midjourney, clever prompts, and their imagination to create some truly incredible art. I have tried my hand at Midjourney and Adobe’s Firefly and I’ve gotta say, making your art look good is not as easy as typing in a bunch of words and hoping for the best. Cole uses a combination of Photoshop’s Generative fill feature and Midjourney to create some beautiful, bizarre Porsche-themed digital art. His latest work, which showcases hyper-realistic images of wrecked Porsches displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, highlights the perils of reckless driving. The reason he specifically chose Porshe was a recent 911 GT3 crash in the news. His latest work ’Drive-Safe’ digital exhibit showcases wrecked Porsche models, highlighting the dangers of reckless driving.

These Hyper-Realistic Renderings Of A Dakar-Style Porsche Are Impossible To Ignore

If you've ever wondered what an extreme off-roader from Stuttgart could potentially look like, here's your answer

When you think Porsche, off-roaders are perhaps the last thing that comes to mind. But the German brand does have a rally-bred pedigree if we look back to the 911 and 959 Dakars from the 1980s. While purists may still scoff at their SUVs, models like the Cayenne and Macan which are household names today, were vital to Porsche’s survival. In fact, it is these very cash cows that have made cars like the iconic Carrera GT and 918 Spyder possible.

The Rezvani RR1: Transform Your Humble 992 Into A Motorsport-Inspired 935

With only 50 units destined for this conversion, find why this retro-futuristic interpretation of the 911 is one that should win over most Porsche Purists

Rezvani Motors, traditionally known for its armored vehicle conversions has ventured into the classic sports car market with the launch of its Rezvani RR1. When I first saw the RR1, my inner child went ballistic, because; a modern take on the iconic Porsche 935 race car of the 1970s? Sign me up! Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a modern-day makeover of the 935, a.k.a, the Mobydick. Porsche themselves unveiled their version, based on the 991 chassis, back in 2019, limited to 77 examples.

Making The Case For A Porsche Taycan Coupe - image 193121

Making The Case For A Porsche Taycan Coupe

This stunning rendering of a two-door Taycan, gives us the chance to explore where could such a model fit into Porsche's current portfolio

The Porsche 718 EV will soon join the Porsche Macan electric and four-door Taycan as the third model in Porsche’s lineup. This shows that regardless of a slowdown in sales, Porsche is going to continue models that it already had in the pipeline. So besides the 718 EV, the Cayenne and even a rumoured Taycan will be here before the end of the decade. However, the flagship model of the Porsche brand, i.e. the iconic 911 won’t be going electric until well into the early 2030s. So until then, it begs the question, why doesn’t Porsche use something that’s already here to cater to the discerning luxury car buyer, who’s looking for a sleek coupe in the form of a Taycan Two-door? Okay, this may sound preposterous and unrealistic in the real world, considering something like this will involve a considerable amount of retooling on the production line, but let’s just try and make the case for such a model, hypothetically.

This Wingless Porsche Mission R Is One That Deserves To Exist In Real Life

The 2021 Mission R is already pretty spectacular to look at, but this rendering imagines the all-electric concept as an underground machine

Modern digital tools and computing power, give pretty much anybody (with some level of skill of course) the ability to manipulate images like never before. A.I. has only taken that narrative further, with endless ways to come up with silly stuff. But it can also be put to good use as we have here with this rendering based on the already stunning 2021 Mission R concept car, this time sans the wing. But here’s why I think this one is a bit more special when compared to previous Mission R renderings that cropped up online.

Stunning Render Shows What The Production Version Of The Porsche Boxster EV Could Look Like

With Porsche's first all-electric sportscar said to soon make its debut, here's a digital mockup based on the latest spy shots

If you’ve been keeping tabs and following the story on the upcoming all-electric Boxster, by this point, you’ve already seen extensive coverage of camouflaged prototypes on tests. They’ve been spotted across a number of locations from the Nürburging in Germany, and winter weather runs up in the Arctic circle to more recently, the streets of San Fransisco. But have you ever wondered what lies under the heavy cladding of the 718 EV? Well, a rendering based on the spy shots we’ve seen so far, could be a great way to decipher these details and that’s exactly what we have here.

Dreaming Up A Pre-Panamera Sport Turismo With The Least Loved 911

While this Porsche Wagon rendering is not doing the 996 any favors, we try to make a case for a sporty Porsche wagon in the early 2000s

We live in a world of A.I. and gone are the days where you need to be a design guru to come up with something truly unique. However, depending on the LLM (Large Language Model) and your ability to write the right prompts, you can come up with something either truly spectacular or absolutely bizarre and hilarious. I’ll admit that I haven’t been at the game long enough myself, but I’ve taken A.I. assistance to dream up everything from a compact all-electric 911 and it was just about acceptable at best. At the other end of the spectrum, you have folks who have gone about coming up with a GT3-inspired pram. More recently, I stumbled upon a Type-996 wagon that I found on Instagram, which I feel is not too bad. So let’s talk about it.

Real-Life Gran Turismo: This Is The Porsche Design Tower, Bangkok

A building that packs design elements from Porsche sport cars, the third-ever PD Tower has several features that seem to have come straight from a video game

From Bentley and Bugatti to Aston Martin, we have several luxury exotic carmakers entering the realm of real estate where automotive design and architecture merge in stunning examples of glass and steel. But Porsche was one of the first brands to do so with a Porsche Design Tower back in 2017. Now, they’re back. This time, Porsche Design has teamed up with Thai developer Ananda Development to unveil the Porsche Design Tower Bangkok, the first of its kind in Asia and the third globally, following Miami and Stuttgart. The Bangkok tower boasts just 22 exclusive "Sky Villas" – think sprawling duplexes and quadplexes – ranging from a spacious 525 to a gut-busting 1,135 square meters. With a price range between $15 million and $40 million, these aren’t for the faint of wallet. But for those who can afford it, the promise is a living experience unlike any other, come 2028.

Porsche 935 Slantnose And 959 Come Together In Kyza's Latest Rendering

Combining two of Porsche's most iconic models, here's why the German marque should actually consider building it

Some digital artists are content with basic flame paint jobs and slammed Civics. Then there’s Kyza, a.k.a Khyzl Saleem who has once again cooked up something that’ll have Porsche fanatics frothing at the mouth: a bonkers fusion of the legendary Porsche 935 Slantnose and the innovative and over-engineered Porsche 959 supercar.

This Rugged Macan EV Rendering Has One Major Flaw. Can You Spot It?

Donning the iconic Camel-Trophy colors, here is an off-road electric Macan concept that is both impressive and bizzare at the same time

Remember the Camel Trophy? That epic off-road endurance race that pushed man and machine to their limits? Often dubbed the Olympics of 4x4s, it was a competition that was held annually between 1980 and 2000. From the impenetrable jungles of the Amazon and Sumatra to the frozen extremes of Siberia, the Camel Trophy ran through, some of the most hostile and untraversable areas on the planet. Sure, you may be used to seeing old-school Land Rover Defenders and Discoverys covered in mud from back in the day. But this rendering of a Macan Turbo electric with a Camel-Trophy theme by Blackfish Graphics caught my attention for a few reasons.

Baby On Board, Porsche Style: A.I. Works Its Magic To Dream Up A 911 GT3 RS Baby Stroller

While a Porsche-branded stroller did come close to production in the past, but never happened, we wonder if the real thing could turn heads at your local Cars & Coffee

Imagine this: As you stroll through the rows of gleaming metal and horsepower at your local Porsche cars & coffee event, there’s one surefire way to stand out—even if you’re not behind the wheel of a full-sized Porsche. Enter the miniaturized marvel that is turning heads and sparking conversations among dads and enthusiasts alike: a baby stroller based on the legendary Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Technically, since it has a soft top, this is essentially a GT3 RS convertible, which doesn’t exist in real life.

Porsche 911 Reimagined As A More Compact All-Electric Sports Car - image 189574

Porsche 911 Reimagined As A More Compact All-Electric Sports Car

While the 911 will be the last model in the Porsche lineup to go electric, a smaller E.V. variant is possible

The Porsche 911 is a perfect representation of the classic sports car. The rear-engine model has been continuously evolving since its inception in 1964, and its lineage is easily traceable through its classic design. That said, under the pressure of increased safety and more modern tech, each new generation has become bigger and heavier. The 911 is no exception as the 992 generation is a far cry from the original models, barely touching 2,300 pounds. This is a follow-up to a recent interview with Porsche design boss, Michael Mauer where he talked about the possibility of a more compact 911 and a potential 911 E.V. We decided to envision a hypothetical, smaller variant of the Porsche 911 and take a look at how possible it is, and whether this will open the door for a fully-electric 911. Can the Porsche 911 as we know it co-exist with a smaller, but fully-electric version of itself?

Modern-Day Slantnose: Kyza’s Take On A Porsche Icon - image 189892

Modern-Day Slantnose: Kyza’s Take On A Porsche Icon

The famed digital artist reimagines the '80s original, but there's a twist to his 992 interpretation

If you’re a Porsche purist, few names evoke as much nostalgia and admiration as the Slantnose. Originally introduced in the 1980s, the Slantnose, or “Flachbau,” (flat nose in German) was a radical departure from the traditional 911 design, featuring a distinctive sloped front end. Inspired by the 935 race cars, a dominant force in motorsports at the time, Porsche produced three generations of the 911 Turbo Slantnose, with a total of 948 units built. Fast forward to more recent times, and U.K.-based digital designer, Khyzl Saleem, a.k.a Kyza has reimagined the modern 992 generation 911 GT3 as a Slantnose, blending retro charm with contemporary aesthetics.

Porsche Taycan-Cayenne Mashup Results In The Most Aerodynamic Van

With the help of A.I., we dream up an all-electric Porsche van and what it could potentially look like

Porsche is best known for its sports cars, predominantly the 911. The rear-engine model, although far from being the brand’s only performance car, shows continuous commitment to perfecting the classic, rear-engine design, we have all loved since 1964. While the 911 would remain as a gas-powered model for as long as possible, Porsche has diversified its lineup over the last two decades. Following the Boxster, Porsche introduced its first SUV, the Cayenne, and a few years later, in 2009, the Panamera high-performance sedan. One thing no one expects from Porsche is a minivan.

The Purist's Last Wish: Is This Porsche's Rumored Back-To-Basics MANUAL 911 Turbo? - image 183448

The Purist's Last Wish: Is This Porsche's Rumored Back-To-Basics MANUAL 911 Turbo?

Three pedals and a stick could be the ultimate analog surprise with the upcoming 992.2 Turbo

In a recent video, Porsche aficionado and YouTuber ARC Driver dove headfirst into a potential mystery courtesy of Porsche themselves. While configuring a 911 on the Porsche website, ARC stumbled upon an image that piqued his interest. Initially appearing as a standard 911 silhouette, a closer look revealed some intriguing details. Wider rear fenders, a prominent turbo intake, and a unique ducktail spoiler whispered "New car alert." Unlike the rest of the blacked-out silhouette, the entire spoiler was rendered in grey, fuelling speculation of a deliberate hint from Porsche.
