Last month we brought word that Porsche is considering the re-introduction of a 928-style GT sportscar. The discussion centred around drawings of this spectacular 929 design study.
The concept was created by design student Julliana Cho who is in her final year at the Royal College of Art in London. Cho is being sponsored by Porsche and is making herself known following internships with Honda and Kia.
Talking about her work Cho says, “The reason why I am fascinated by vehicle design is because such opposite things can be combined beautifully into it.
“Creating ideas for a mechanical object with a different approach, such as architecture, fashion, sculpture or eco-friendly products, makes me motivated and passionate.
“My aim is always focused on ‘How to create the perfect balance between the message and the object?’”
Based on the Panamera the 929 design study is electric-powered and highly customisable. At 4.9m long it would certainly fit the super tourer category well. Although, it’s radical rearward opening doors might pose a few problems in a real-world environment.
It’s a fantastic looking concept and we shall have to wait and see how far Porsche is willing to take it.
