Wooden Porsche is the most eco-friendly 911 in the world

Did you think a Porsche 911 that’s gone through an electric conversion is the greenest Porsche around?

Wrong.

Designer Alexander Gedda painstakingly built a 911 supercar using wooden toy blocks. His creation is no scale model, mind you. Measuring up to 14 feet in length, the wooden replica was ordered by a Porsche dealership in Milan, Italy.

No less than 6,500 wooden blocks were used in creating this one-off 911 replica. A total of 1,500 meters of wood was used in the making of the model.

It’s not show and no go. There’s a zipper placed on the replica which will allow you to enter the model. So how does it feel like to be inside the world’s greenest Porsche? Guess you’ll have to use the zipper to find out!

Official? Porsche developing baby Cayenne

Porsche is said to be working on a new SUV which is smaller than the Cayenne. This new model will slot in below the Cayenne in Porsche’s lineup and will be the sixth model in the Porsche family.

The new baby Cayenne will be based on the Audi Q5′s MLB/MLP platform and will take on rivals such as the BMW X3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLK. The details regarding the technical specifications of the car are not available as of now, but the management at Porsche has reportedly given the car the go ahead and so it should hit showrooms in the coming years.

Spotted – Porsche Cayenne tractor variant

No, Porsche is not testing its line of farm equipment accessories on the Porsche Cayenne SUV nor is it demonstrating the prowess of the 405 hp V8 behemoth lying under its hood. The Porsche Cayenne you can see above has been put to good use by a rich flamboyant Dutch farmer who apparently wasn’t satisfied with his John Deere.

The Porsche Cayenne has been fitted with a 21 feet wide sod roller at its rear and is capable of ploughing six acres of land in one straight run of 3.8 kms in less than 3 minutes. This would be the most modern practice in agriculture if only the Dutch farmer could have installed hydraulics to lower and rise the sod roller.

The Porsche Cayenne would be the baddest, fastest tractor to have ever ploughed fields on the face of Mother Earth. And if (a very big ‘if’) Porsche decides to launch its range of farm equipment accessories for the Cayenne, there would be a sharp increase in the number of people turning towards agriculture for living.

A Porsche pickup truck? No, thanks

When Porsche launched the Cayenne SUV, hardcore enthusiasts were infuriated with the brand deviating from making purebred sports cars/coupes. Later when Porsche introduced the 4-door Panamera, some of them shifted to supporting Lamborghini, only to find out they too were preparing a competitor by the name Estoque.

It’s not very hard to imagine what would these folks say when they see a Porsche pickup truck.

Here are some crazy CGIs of what a Porsche pickup truck could look like. No, don’t worry, Porsche will not be building pickup trucks, these pictures are just a talented artist’s wildest fantasies.

The first concept is by Nouphone J. Bansasine, the world famous designer who was behind the Volvo SC90 Coupe concept car. This pickup truck concept has been christened, ‘TranSport’. The styling of the pickup is sleek and gorgeous. The way the designer has rendered the design elements, typical of a Porsche in this concept is truly splendid. Especially the way the rear tail lamp fits into the truck’s bay.

The second concept (pictured), though tamer than the first concept, is an inch closer to reality. Penned by the designers at Xenatec Group, a German company specializing in exotic car modifications. This design concept looks like a two door pickup truck based on the Cayenne SUV. To tell the truth this concept looks like a cheap Mahindra pickup truck after a cosmetic surgery. Even otherwise you still want one, Porsche wouldn’t build you one, but Xenatec just might, if you can afford the moolah.
