This Rendering Imagines a Modern Version of Classic Porsche 911s
The Porsche 911 is an iconic sports car, but part of that legacy is due to the fact that, in 2025, it still looks strikingly similar to the first 911s from the early 1960s. That said, today's cars are far larger and heavier than they once were, but a Ukrainian designer's recent Instagram renderings show us what could have happened if Porsche had stuck to the smaller, lighter format.
Mykola Tarasenko's renderings don't turn the 911 into something unrecognizable. Instead, they reshape the car's front- and rear-end designs, giving it a more cropped, compact look. He kept the 911's signature round headlights and didn't change its basic proportions. Tarasenko also included the rear LED light bar from recent 911 models.
The 911 S/T was the lightest car from the current generation, but it retains the larger size of its heavier counterparts. These are just fan renderings, so don't go getting excited about a huge shift in 911 design. The automaker offers a staggering number of configurations for the current car, and while they aren't the lightweight sports cars from decades past, it's hard to fault their performance.
That said, Porsche executives have been clear that the company is in trouble, saying that it needs to take drastic measures to get back on track. The automaker has seen tumbling sales in China, leading it to an eight percent global drop in sales in the first quarter of 2025. At the same time, its first EV, the Taycan, hasn't been selling all that well, though the newer Macan EV received a reasonably warm welcome in North America. All of that could lead Porsche back to more extreme 911 variants, but that still won't lead us back to a stripped-down, back-to-basics model.
