CAR magazine UK reveals details of the new Porsche concept car - the Vision 357
Porsche has had a bit of fun, creating a brand new concept car that’s got a heavy retro twist. It’s called the Vision 357, and it’s meant to imagine how Ferdinand Porsche – the brand’s eponymous founder – would design his dream car if it were now, rather than in 1948.
The Vision 357, then, is a smashing together of Porsche’s past with its present and is meant as an anniversary gift to itself after 75 years of performance car building. ‘The concept car is an attempt to combine the past, present and future with coherency,’ says Porsche’s vice president at Style Porsche, Michael Mauer, ‘featuring proportions that are reminiscent of its historical archetype and details that visualise the outlook for the future.’Porsche’s vision, then, aims to modernise the lines and ethos of that original 356 No.1 Roadster.
The 357’s wide footprint is furnished with four wide, 20-inch wheels made from magnesium with carbonfibre aerodynamic hubcaps and centre locks. They’re designed to give a nod do the 356 A and B that featured wheels with large bolt circles. Modern details have been intertwined, too, like a carbonfibre front splitter similar to the all-electric Porsche Mission R.
