Tradition & Vision

Edition 1 of 1

Peter Varga, Head of Exterior Design at Porsche in Weissach, combines two iconic Porsche models in this exclusive freehand sketch: the all-electric Taycan Cross Turismo and the legendary 911.

Future and past are combined in this drawing: the lines, silhouettes and proportions represent the unique Porsche DNA and show that there is a part of the iconic 911 in every model. Innovative lines and the dynamic look of the flyline hint at Porsche's future.

The sketch is unique. Each line drawn by the designer is unique and is not repeatable.

The story behind the artwork

The Story behind the Artwork

Peter Varga is the Director Exterior Design at Porsche. Varga, who studied Transportation Design in Pforzheim, Germany, and started working at Porsche as an intern 17 years ago, is nothing short of a perfectionist. “A car should not be too big – even by a millimetre,” Varga states. “We try to leave out as much as possible”. 

The way to your own unique collector's piece

The idea

Combining timeless beauty with cutting-edge technology has always been a main part of the Porsche DNA. The transformation of a unique design drawing into a digital work of art is a new chapter in the history of Porsche.
