This is one of those times as you’re probably going to want the Porsche Vision Renndienst. While the idea of a Porsche van sounds crazy, one look at the Vision Renndienst will make you forget about Volkswagen’s ID Buzz.
Created in 2018 and never before revealed,
the Vision Renndienst is a futuristic “space shuttle” that draws inspiration
from a VW van used by Porsche decades ago. It looks amazing as the model has
streamlined surfaces, a dynamic greenhouse and the most aggressive side skirts
ever applied to a van. We can also see minimalist headlights, a sporty front
fascia and a long sloping roof. Designers also installed five-spoke alloy
wheels and a traditional Porsche rear end with a full-width light bar.
Porsche didn’t release interior pictures,
but the Vision Renndienst has a central driver’s seat and a “modular travel
cabin” that accommodates up to five passengers. Since the van is electric and
all of the powertrain components are located beneath the floor, the company
said passengers are treated to an unexpectedly spacious cabin with a
“Porsche-like flair.”
The concept was apparently a flight of
fancy, but the company said it shows how “Porsche design DNA, with its
characteristic surface modeling, can be transferred to an unknown vehicle
segment for the brand.” The Vision Renndienst is one of 15 different vehicles
created between 2005 and 2019 that have been “kept under lock and key,” but are
now being revealed in a new book called Porsche Unseen. While the book is
currently available from retailers, the company will reveal more unseen
concepts in the future.
