Autonomous Porsche Racer Study Is Out Of Our Reality

The Porsche Mission E won’t just be the brand’s first all-electric model but it will also launch with advanced level 4 autonomy.

In the year’s following the sedans launch, a multitude of other Porsche models will receive similar technology and it’s not impossible that the company may look to race autonomous vehicles in the future. While the thought of self-driving race cars doesn’t appeal to all of us, we could (almost) support a Porsche racer that looks like this.

Created by Indonesian designer Andhika Dimas, the study in question has been imagined for the year 2030, and is all-electric featuring no cabin. As such, the car is fully self-driving and therefore adopts a sleek and appealing design free of any superfluous wings, fins, or obvious aero aids.

In fact, the car’s design is somewhat reminiscent of the Aston Martin Valkyrie with large aero tunnels running from the front to the rear to suck it to the pavement. It is certainly more visually pleasing than current Le Mans prototypes, for example, and would be entirely possible to bring to life in a few years’ time.

In 2017, Porsche revealed that it would leave the World Endurance Championship and Le Mans to pursue the sixth season of Formula E in 2019. Depending on how this venture goes, the German company may be encouraged to pursue further electric racing series’ which may be formed in the future.
