The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic
cars ever manufactured and despite the market’s shift towards electrification,
is expected to stick around for some time yet. With this in mind, artists
Hussain Almossawi and Marin Myftiu have come together to imagine what a new
sports car loosely inspired by the 911 could look like.
Dubbed the Porsche 411, the vehicle takes
some visual cues from vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s. At the front, there are
a pair of vertically-positioned headlights incorporated neatly into the wheel
arches. Aerodynamics have also played a key role in the design of the 411. This
is particularly evident with the large venturi tunnels that channel air from
the front around the passenger cell.
It is a similar story at the rear where
there is an adjustable wing and a diffuser designed to suck the sports car into
the pavement. The taillights use an infinity mirror to make it look like the
LED lights stretch inside the car, similar to the lights of the Lexus LC500.
The interior of the Porsche 411 is just as
sleek and flowing as the exterior. Most notably, the front seats melt into each
other while the driver is presented with a white and rose gold steering wheel
and gauges neatly incorporated into the dashboard. Almossawi and Myftiu have
imagined the car featuring an all-electric powertrain and an advanced
automonous driving system that allows for safe cruising at speeds of over 400
km/h.
