Under the title "Porsche Unseen," the Stuttgart-based brand is showing a series of previously secret studies.
Porsche is showing 15 never-before-seen vehicle visions from the past two decades. With these studies, Porsche provides an insight into the design process from the first drawing to the finished production model.
Series sports cars and car ideas
Everything starts with a sketch. This is then visualized as a 3-D model, and if an idea is to be further developed, 1:3 scale models and finally 1:1 hard models follow.
Michael Mauer, Head of Style Porsche: "Porsche deliberately operates only one design studio-and it is located in the direct vicinity of development. Weissach is our epicenter. Instead of opening Advanced Design Studios in far-flung metropolises, our designers come to Weissach from all over the world to create the new production sports cars and automotive visions at the heart of the brand."
More than 120 designers, model makers and studio engineers work in the Porsche Design Studio.
919 Street based on the Porsche 919 Hybrid
The visions include the Porsche 919 Street, a clay model from 2017 based on technology from the Porsche 919 Hybrid. In the gallery on the left and right.
With its purist cockpit, characteristic radiator grilles and suggested fins at the rear, the 2019 Porsche Vision Spyder is reminiscent of the 550-1500 RS Spyder model from 1954.
The 2018 Vision Renndienst represents a free interpretation of a family-friendly space concept, demonstrating how the Porsche design DNA could be applied to a vehicle segment unfamiliar to the brand.
Design studies as a book and also on web TV
The web TV format "911:Magazin" devotes a feature to some selected studies and, together with Michael Mauer, sheds light on the connection between studies and series.
Michael Mauer, Head of Style Porsche, explains how ideas are turned into vehicles for series production.
In addition, for fans of the brand, the publishing house Delius Klasing is publishing the book "Porsche Unseen".
The work is available under the ISBN number 978-3-667-11980-3 available. On 328 pages, the design studies are presented in detail with photos by Stefan Bogner and texts by Jan Karl Baedeker.
Some of the models will also be on show live at a later date. The Porsche Museum will present a selection next year in the exhibition at the museum in Stuttgart
