We?ve always welcomed auto designers on our pages to show off their creations as a way of giving these guys some exposure in the industry. Hey, you never know who may be reading what these days and we like to think we’re doing our part in getting these designers’ feet in the door. This latest piece of work comes courtesy of Tigran Lalayan, a designer out of Armenia who showed us a rendering of his interpretation of the future Porsche 356.
Using the traditional engine composition of the 356 ? behind the rear axle that?s paired with rear-wheel drive ? Lalayan has added KERS technology to the system to be able to increase the car?s fuel efficiency. As for his overall design of the 356 Speedster, Lalayan stayed true to Porsche?s design language by instilling a number of elements traditionally found in Porsche models, including the low windshield, the oval headlights, the circular - albeit smaller - taillights, and the detachable rooftop.
Overall, Lalayan?s work is okay, if not just interesting. We?d like to see more of a front bumper because, on certain angles, the car looks more like a Volkswagen Beetle than a Porsche. But hey, Lalayan?s design is still much better than what our imaginations and rendering skills ? or lack thereof ? can come up with, so we have to give some credit where it’s due.
