Porsche 911 to ‘Star Wars’ A-Wing
In the Future, the Porsche May Become Even Faster. In Fact, It Might Fly!
With all this talk and excitement about the revival of the Star Wars franchise, we got to talking about what cars would become which Star Wars vehicle in a future that is somehow simultaneously a long, long time ago. We talked about the design of the machines, their purpose, performance, overall style and more. Here’s what we came up with for the Porsche 911.
Porsche 911 to A-Wing
Porsche has built an empire on taking one good idea and endlessly refining it. The 911 is a simple idea that has been worked on, altered and adjusted to make it ever faster and more reliable. In the future, the closest representation of that idea would be the A-Wing.
The A-Wing started life as a humble machine before the Galactic Civil War, and more than 30 years later during the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, the A-Wing is still present. Just as the 911 was discovered to be a powerful platform for motorsports, especially in the grassroots segment, the A-Wing became one of the go-to starships for the Alliance.
Fast and compact, it makes great work weather on a planet’s surface or out in the expanse of space. Just like a 911 is great on the highway or on a racetrack. As an extra little nod to the 911, the A-wing also has that pointy nose, hunched profile and power comes from the back.
