No, this is not the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder that is currently being tested at the Nurburgring or leaks from Porsche’s design center.
Designed by a Marcus Classen, a transportation graduate from Northumbria Universty, this is a fully electric, 2-seater, roadster concept car.
The designer has taken cues from past Porsche Cars and has merged them in this concept (Yea, he forgot the windshield bit). Being fully electric, the designer has tried to keep the weight as low as possible (probably that is why the windshield is not there!).
Because the car is fully electric, it needs to pack is much less components than the traditional combustion engine, leaving a lot of room for adjustments on the design. The designer has envisaged two motors driving the rear wheels, and a centrally mounted battery pack to keep the car balanced and has added a roll-bar just in case.
These college designs make it big in the internet world but hardly catch the attention of the Auto giants. We hope that the same is not the fate of this design.
If you’re a Porsche lover, then you must check out the greenest Porsche 911 in the world!
