Porsche designers are often derided for
having the easiest job in the world as the 911 designs itself over and over
again, with the rest of the lineup basically echoing the brand’s core model.
The biggest challenge for any Porsche designer would probably be to move the
brand away from the influence of the 911 – assuming the management would be
okay with that. We don’t even dare dream about a future 911 that breaks with
tradition as that will probably not happen in our lifetime.
Outside Porsche, however, there are many
designers willing to give it a go and Pawel Breshke is one of them. The
independent automotive designer was kind enough to share with us his
spectacular project titled Cyber 677 Porsche, which envisions a futuristic take
on the 911 sports car.
He wanted to create something new instead
of yet another copy of the 911 and a Cyber idea came to his mind. “This idea
forced me to to break some crucial existing features of this brand, but I
wanted to keep the general silhouette which is very recognizable in the whole
world,” Breshke explains.
While he kept the specific 911 shape,
everything else changed, including the iconic shape of the headlights which now
look similar to those seen on the new Genesis GV80 and G80. Another striking
detail is the lack of a rear screen or, better said, its reduction to a size
that renders it unusable.
However, the Cyber 677 Porsche features
rearview cameras instead of mirrors so we assume those ensure enough visibility
to the rear. “The aim was to achieve a bit of a raw style which could refer to
a Cyber world, but simultaneously to keep some soft surfaces so that to make
the silhouette coherent,” the designer adds.
That was obviously hard to accomplish but
we believe Breshke nailed it. As for the interior, it looks even more
futuristic than the exterior while retaining some typical Porsche design cues
such as the slim center console.
