How would you fancy a 919 Le Mans racer that you could take to the shops? Or a 911 capable of tackling the Safari Rally? What about a futuristic take on the classic camper van, all wearing that famous shield with the Württemberg coat of arms on the nose.
No, we’ve not gone mad. Porsche beat us all to these ideas, and a new 2021 exhibition will throw open the famous brand’s design archives to make public a host of previously private concept cars.
Ranging from hypercars and road specials to SUVs and racing one-offs, Porsche’s research and development department has been constantly creating fresh designs, some of which made it into production, and many that never even came close.
