Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the giant automobile manufacturer Porsche developed a concept car in honor of it. The car appeared as the modern version of the iconic 356 Roadster No.1, which debuted in 1948 and is known as the company’s first vehicle.
The concept car introduced by the company was named ‘Vision 357’. The car, which was created by being faithful to the original car, attracted attention with its combination of the past, the future and the present.
Introducing the Vision 357 concept
The Vision 357 concept first appears with its stylish design. While staying true to the classic design of the 356, Porsche added today’s and future technologies to the vehicle. Michael Mauer, the company’s chief designer, also reminds of its past appearance, while also giving signals for the future, defining the vehicle as “an attempt to combine the past, present and future with consistency”.
The car is built on the 2023 Cayman GT4 RS technology platform. When we examine the vehicle, we see details emphasizing that it is special for the 75th anniversary on all sides. The round headlights and rear also reveal that the company is paying homage to the iconic 356. Both the front and rear headlights are hidden behind perforated panels.
The manufacturer adds that the wheels are trying to emulate the 356 A and 356 B vehicles. In addition, the 4.0-liter engine producing 493 horsepower is also included in this concept vehicle. It is possible to say that the use of color brings a return to the 1950s. As you can see, Porsche has tried to reflect different aspects of its 75-year heritage to the car.
The absence of door handles in the car does not go unnoticed. These are placed on the rear side windows. We also see that the mirrors have been replaced with cameras. The use of cameras instead of traditional mirrors has been tried by many different brands in recent years.
It should be noted that this vehicle, which is special for the 75th anniversary of the company, is a concept, that is, it will not go on sale. According to Motor1, Porsche will let people see the concept at a special exhibition in Berlin that will start on January 27. It is also among the information that it will be exhibited at other events throughout the year.
