Porsche
Sebring Spyder
The
Porsche Sebring Spyder in an unofficial concept which was developed by the
German designer Marcus Classen - a 2010 graduate of the Transportation Design
course at Northumbria University, Newcastle, England.
The
Porsche Sebring Spyder is a lightweight minimalist roadster which features
numerous design elements inspired by past Porsche models. The Sebring Spyder's
main styling influence comes from the Porsche 718 W-RS Spyder. But there's also
some input from other Porsche vehicles, including the Speedster, 356, GT1 and
Panamericano concept.
The
Porsche Sebring Spyder is a strict two seater, and there is no weather
protection for the occupants aside from two very small windshields. Thankfully
however there is considerable roll over protection in the form of a prominent
rollbar which is incorporated into the vehicle's one-piece chassis.
The
Porsche Sebring Spyder's chassis is visible throughout much of the car. It can
be seen not only in the aforementioned rollbar, but also down the length of the
hood - where it effectively splits the car down the middle, and down the sides
of the car where it wraps around and under the bodywork.
For
the Porsche Sebring Spyder, the designer has envisaged a fully electric drivetrain
which features two motors driving the rear wheels, and a centrally mounted
battery pack which helps keep the car nicely balanced.
