Designed by Arthur B. Nustas, the 939 study is pictured here without many of the
competition-specific appendages and livery that made it visually suitable for
track duty. It looks ready, in other words, to leave the confines of the racing
circuit (however liberating that can be) and hit the open road.
The design hasn't been completely neutered in its
transition to road from track. The rear glass is still blanked out with
bodywork, for example, the exhaust tips still protrude from atop the rear deck,
and the front splitter (however fixed it looks in the design) still has
adjustment struts. It even has numbers on the roof. But it otherwise looks
pretty slick – even if, as some of you pointed out, the front end (in particular)
doesn't look particularly Porsche-like.
Regardless, we'd still like to put one of these in
our driveway, especially in that Porsche Design-inspired matte black with pale
gold accents.
