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

The average car has experienced a substantial 20% increase in size over the past two decades

Porsche's iconic 911 has not been immune to this trend with an increase in both weight and dimensions

The latest models weigh nearly 1,000 pounds more than the original 1963 model's 2,300 lbs designed by F.A. Porsche (Butzi Porsche)

Porsche's current design boss, Michael Mauer, acknowledges the negative impact of the 911’s growth

Speaking to The Drive, he recently expressed his desire for the 911 to return to a more compact form factor

The 911’s growth accelerated after the mid-90s, with the water-cooled 996 generation

However, according to Mauer, balancing customer demands for space and comfort with the brand's heritage presents a significant challenge

Regulations and performance expectations imposed on modern vehicles further complicate efforts to reduce size and weight

While electric powertrains offer performance advantages, their associated battery packs contribute significantly to vehicle weight

However, Mauer states that advancements in battery technology could hold the potential for a future compact 911 in the E.V. era

We need to see if the auto industry's potential shift towards smaller, more agile vehicles creates opportunities for Porsche to develop more compact sports cars.
