Porsche will still be making sports cars and racing models for the foreseeable
future. At least we hope they look something like this.
British designer Arthur B. Nustas calls his concept
the Porsche 939 RSR. Nustas drew inspiration from the 356 – Porsche's first
product, which owed much to the VW Beetle and
preceded the 911 to follow.
As Porschephiles may have gleaned from those last
three letters, the design envisions a racer – as if the tarmac-scraping ground
effects and giant rear wing didn't give it away. And though we've got little to
go on in the way of theoretical technical specifications, the design brief
seems to call for a hybrid powertrain.
Whatever might lie beneath, the form and details
look pretty slick to our eyes – whether in white and red, Gulf-style blue and
orange, or black with Martini Racing stripes. A little less so in bright green,
but then, as the saying goes, there's no accounting for taste.
