Porsche\u00a0has teamed up with Star Wars producer Lucasfilm to create a one-off spacecraft to promote the next instalment in the space-themed film franchise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Named Tri-Wing S-91 x Pegasus Starfighter, the starship will be presented as a five-foot-long scale model at the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on 16 December.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The design process was undertaken by members of Porsche\u2019s Weissach-based studio in conjunction with their counterparts at Lucasfilms San Francisco HQ. The result is an aircraft that bears a strong resemblance to iconic vehicles from the Star Wars franchise, while displaying a number of elements inspired by Porsche models.<\/p>\n

The vehicle\u2019s front end references that of\u00a0the new Taycan EV, with\u00a0horizontally aligned headlight clusters that are flanked by prominent air intakes, while at the rear\u00a0a 911-style louvred panel contains a centrally mounted third brake light. The brand\u2019s trademark rear light bar also features.<\/p>\n

Michael Mauer, Vice President of Porsche\u2019s styling department, said: \u201cThe design of the spaceship is harmoniously integrated into the Star Wars film world, while at the same time demonstrating clear analogies with the characteristic Porsche styling and proportions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe basic shape of the cabin, which tapers towards the rear, and a highly distinctive topography from the cockpit flyline to the turbines establish visual parallels with the iconic design of the 911 and the Taycan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porsche will look to emphasise the design link between the fictional aircraft and its new Taycan production model by displaying the two side-by-side at the Star Wars premiere later this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
