What if Porsche could diversify its product lineup with a dune buggy?

Sister-brand, Audi has already demonstrated the feasibility of electric dune buggies with the RS Q e-Tron

AI-generated images with signature Porsche design elemensts, provide a glimpse into the potential design of a Porsche dune buggy

The off-road capabilities would warrant the need for massive ground clearance, heavy-duty suspension, and knobby tires

Potential powertrain options could be a powerful 2.0-liter flat-four from the base Boxster

Or an advanced electric powertrain similar to the RS Q e-Tron, that packs 671 horsepower

Weight reduction would be crucial to optimize performance and efficiency

A Porsche dune / Baja-style buggy could potentially compete with other high-performance off-road vehicles

Just like Audi, a vehicle like this could contribute to Porsche's sustainability efforts by offering electrified powertrains

Audi won the 2024 Dakar at the hands of Carlos Sainz Senior

Could Porsche follow suit and return to Dakar and once again dominate this grueling race, like it did back in the 1980s?

Rezvani Motors, known for armored vehicles, recently ventured into the world of sportscars as well

Enter the RR1, a modern interpretation of the iconic Porsche 935, based on the type 992-chassis

Limited to just 50 examples, the RR1 is available in three distinct versions, each with its own unique features and price point

The RR1 features a carbon fiber bodywork, inspired by the 935 Kremer race cars, giving it a sleek and aerodynamic profile

The RR1 offers multiple engine and transmission options, catering to different driving preferences

The RR1 is a niche product that will appeal to a specific group of enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate retro-inspired designs and high-performance vehicles

The Porsche 911 will remain gasoline-powered until early 2030 and we can only expect an 911 EV in the next decade

A two-door Taycan could fill the gap for those seeking a sleek and luxurious all-electric coupe

A render by 2NCS offers a glimpse of what a two-door Taycan might look like

The side profile is striking, with two doors and a window line reminiscent of the 911

2NCS opts for a sporty design with blacked-out wheels and contrasting gloss black accents

Porsche's signature four-point LED headlights and an aggressive body kit enhance the sporty look

GT3 RS-style vents in the front fenders add a unique touch

Porsche's expertise in electric vehicles could translate into a remarkable two-door coupe with little to no competition

A two-door Taycan could in theory compete with a high-performance electric coupe like the upcoming 2028 Piëch GT

As a grand tourer, range and charging times will be a vital metric

Thankfully, Porsche has made some massive strides in this area, and 300 miles on a single charge is now a possibility

To find out where could a potential Taycan coupe fit into Porsche's current lineup and how much it could cost, swipe up.

The 2021 Porsche Mission R concept, with 1,073 horsepower, is a showcase of Porsche's EV aspirations

Brad Build's rendering reimagines the Mission R without the wing, allowing for a better appreciation of the car's lines

The original Mission R's design is aggressive and motorsports-inspired, with a prominent wing and red-and-white livery

The rendering's aesthetic is more aftermarket and underground, featuring a unique whitish-pink hue

Some unique touches include multi-spoke BUC-M Rotiform wheels, wrapped in low-profile R888R Toyo tires

The rear 3/4 view, without the wing; is particularly striking, highlighting the car's aggressive diffuser and wide rear tires.

The recently unveiled, Lamborghini Temerario also features a similar design element with exposed rear tires

The production version of the Mission R remains uncertain

But its compact size aligns with Porsche design boss, Micheal Mauer's desire for a smaller 911

The Mission R's E-Core platform will be used in the upcoming all-electric 983 Boxster, improving battery weight distribution.

Camouflaged prototypes of the electric Boxster have been spotted undergoing testing since 2022

This recent rendering by klissarov.design depicts the potential design based on the latest spy shots

Key design elements include: Vertical air vents and radar sensors similar to the 992.2 911 Carrera

Edgy, angular headlights inspired by the Taycan

High-mounted rear stop light and rear bumper charge port

This render differs from prototypes by including a full-length light bar and a backlit Porsche logo

The rendering also doesn't feature, what appears to be side-vents as seen on the prototype. But why would the electric Boxster need it if its an EV?

The Boxster EV (983) will be built on Porsche's E-Core platform (seen in the Mission R concept)

The battery pack placement aims to maintain the mid-engine feel of the gas-powered model

Success hinges on replicating the Boxster experience, offering good range, charging, and competitive pricing

The all-electric Boxster 718 is expected to hit the road in 2026. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche first explored the concept of a wagon with the 928-4 concept car

I stumbled upon a 996-inspired wagon made with A.I. The wagon's design is impressive, with a unique glasshouse and wide rear end

The cargo space on the render though, appears to be similar to an Impreza Wagon. compared to boxier options like a Volvo V70R from that time

In the early 2000s, a sporty wagon would have been a desirable option for a middle-aged dad with a lead foot

Performance SUVs weren't around as the Cayenne was yet to make its debut, and choices for practical performance wagons were limited.

While Japanese automakers dominated the practical performance wagon market you had a few sporty options from European automakers

BMW E39 (540i), Audi (C5 RS6), and Volvo also offered sporty wagon options

Creating a Porsche wagon would involve significant engineering challenges, as seen with the Panamera. The engine placement in a sedan or wagon differs from a 911

Porsche has embraced the wagon format with both the Taycan and Panamera Sport Turismo models

While some dislike the 996's fried-egg headlights, there are affordable fixes available

While the 996's cabin was low-rent, a combination of performance and practicality would have made it a compelling choice.

A 996-inspired wagon would have been a desirable option in the 2000s. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche Design has teamed up with Ananda Development to unveil the Porsche Design Tower Bangkok, the first of its kind in Asia

The tower boasts just 22 exclusive Sky Villas, ranging from 525 to 1,135 square meters, with an average price tag of $15 million

The pièce de résistance of the project are the Passion Spaces, dedicated sanctuaries for car collections

The Loop, a spiraling access ramp, takes residents directly from the street to their private parking bays

The X-Frame structure, a nod to Porsche's Mission R concept car, creates a dramatic entryway

The building's kinetic façade is inspired by the Porsche 911 Targa roof, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living

The tower boasts amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, spa, and lounges

The Bangkok tower joins its established siblings in Miami and Stuttgart

The Miami Tower offers a larger number of units, while Stuttgart is smaller and emphasizes integrating Porsche's heritage with mixed-use commercial and residential living

The PD Tower will redefine luxury living in Bangkok and set a new standard for future developments in the region.

Digital artist Kyza creates a hybrid of the 935 Slantnose and 959 in his latest render

The 935 was a track-bred car that dominated endurance races, including Le Mans back in the late 1970s,

Porsche pushed the boundaries of automotive engineering with the 959 supercar with innovations such as all-wheel drive and active suspension

Kyza's approach is refreshingly minimalist. Instead of overcomplicating the design, he focuses on the key elements that define these two legends

The Slantnose's distinctive, wedge-shaped nose, has been adorned with modern LED headlights

It comes together with the 959's aggressive aerodynamic body, retaining the iconic fixed rear wing

The green hue on Kyza's rendering perfectly complements the car's aggressive styling and futuristic vibe

Porsche should take the leap and produce this hybrid. It's a car that could redefine what's possible in the automotive world

Imagine what a limited-edition Slantnose 959 could do to the Porsche collector market

Performance-wise, the 959's twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, known for its intoxicating growl, would be amplified by the Slantnose's track-tuned exhaust

A 959 Slantnose's rarity and exclusivity could potentially make it a highly sought-after

It would also give restomodders like Singer, Ruf, and Gemballa, a serious run for their money.

This rendering of a Camel Trophy-themed Macan EV Turbo caught my attention

The Camel Trophy was a grueling off-road endurance race held annually between 1980 and 2000

Land Rover Defenders and Discoverys are often associated with the Camel Trophy

This Camel Trophy-inspired Macan has both impressive and questionable elements

Off-road features like chunky all-terrain tires and a roof rack are fitting for the theme

However, a snorkel on an electric car is a questionable design choice

Should Porsche consider making a more hardcore Macan EV with off-road enhancements?

The Macan EV is typically associated with luxury and on-road performance

Porsche's 911 Dakar proved to be immensely popular

The Cayenne Transsyberia was another rugged model that Porsche offered back in the late 2000s

For now, the Macan EV only offers a mild off-road package

Having said, test mules have demonstrated the SUV's off-road capabilities

As for this Camely Trophy-themed Porsche, it was a fun design exercise, despite some flaws.

Digitally crafted baby strollers, an uncanny replica of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, have taken the internet by storm

From its aggressive front fascia to the iconic headlight design, and brake calipers, every detail of the stroller draws cues from the legendary sports car

While most baby-strollers are about function, a Porsche-branded stroller that looks like a miniature GT3 RS could turn heads at your local car meet

Beyond the cool factor, it's a brilliant way to introduce your child to the world of automobiles from the very beginning

Porsche Design should seriously consider adding this concept to its product line, expanding its reach into the world of baby gear

A previous design study, the P'4911 back in 2014, demonstrated the feasibility of a Porsche stroller

A Porsche-branded stroller could command a premium price, but for die-hard fans, it would be a worthwhile investment

While the GT3 stroller is currently a digital concept, it draws inspiration from real-world examples of modified strollers

This fact that someone actually modified a stroller in real life to look like a BMW S1000 RR is proof

This concept taps into the growing trend of merging automotive passion with everyday life, creating a new market opportunity

Would you consider something like this if Porsche decided to make one?

Like all cars, the 911 has been getting larger and heavier with each generation

The Porsche 911 has grown from the original's 2,370 pounds to over 3,800 pounds in some variants

Porsche design boss, Michael Mauer talks about the possibility of a more compact 911

A more compact 911 is, indeed, possible, but it would, likely, be fully-electric

The 992 is already pushing the limits of packaging in terms of powertrain. E-motors are lighter and more compact

Solid-state batteries would ensure smaller and lighter battery pack without sacrificing range and performance

Porsche will not kill off the ICE-powered 911 like it doing with the 718

The two models could co-exist, but they would need to be differentiated in terms of design. Taycan-style front end on a 911 EV?

Porsche might consider a different name for the scaled-down 911 EV. Will the 912 return?

Swipe up for more details on Porsche's plans for the 911's future

Instagram and YouTube sensation, Kyza reimagined the iconic 930 Slantnose based on the modern 992 generation 911 GT3

The Porsche Slantnose, or Flachbau, was a limited-edition car based on the 911 Turbo

The most striking feature is the slanted hood replacing the traditional headlights

Kyza's design blends the classic Slantnose look with contemporary aesthetics

Other design elements include GT3 nostrils, aero strakes, and white five-spoke rims

The side profile retains the sleek lines of the 992 with a dramatic front drop

Unlike the original Slantnose based on the 930 Turbo, this design omits the side air intake as it is based on the GT3 body

Kyza's design incorporates fixed headlights that capture the spirit of the pop-up lights

Pop-up headlights on a modern-day Slantnose could have been nice, but current safety regulations don't allow it

But Slantnose conversions could potentially make the controversial 996 generation more desirable

Original Slantnose cars were hand-crafted and commanded a premium price even today

A modern Slantnose option from Porsche would likely be exclusive and expensive

We envision a cross between the Taycan and Cayenne models to be a Porsche van

VW, currently, has the I.D. Buzz, but it is too small to serve as a base for a Porsche van

The Taycan's J1 platform would be the perfect candidate to underpin a Porsche van

Taycan front fascia hints at the Porsche van being fully-electric

Cayenne design traits neatly fit the rear-end design of the hypothetical Porsche van

A more aggressively-styled design hints at a high-performance Porsche van

Mercedes did something similar with the R-Class, but it wasn't a sales hit

This is not the first time that Porsche has made a vam. In the 1980s, Porsche modified a VW T3 Bus, that featured a 911 flat-six

The VW I.D Buzz is only one reason why a Porsche van would, likely, never happen now

Swipe up for more information on Porsche's history with vans and why we probably won't see one, ever

Porsche enthusiast & YouTuber ARC Driver spotted a mysterious image on the Porsche cobfigurator.

Rumors point to a base internal combustion Turbo and a Hybrid Turbo S model

The rendering in the configurator follows the profile of the recently unveiled 992.2 Carrera and GTS

The image hints at wider fenders, a turbo intake, and a unique spoiler that integrates into the bodywork

It's unlikely to be purely a Touring model as the rear fender lacks an air intake

We also can't confirm if its a pure Turbo either as they generally have a spoiler that sticks out

Speculation suggests it could be a stripped-down, rear-wheel-drive, manual-transmission Turbo

Another theory is the Turbo S Touring with an integrated rear wing

ARC Driver believes there could be at least four variations of the 992.2 Turbo

The upcoming Turbo will most likely feature the 3.6-liter boxer that debuted on the 992.2 GTS
