Porsche Vision 357 represents outstanding sports car performance. It is built on the technology platform of the 368 kW (500 PS; 718 Cayman GT4 RS: Fuel consumption combined (WLTP) 13.2 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions combined (WLTP) 299 g/km) 718 Cayman GT4 RS. (Image: Porsche)
The naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine theoretically draws 368 kW (500 PS) from 4 litres of displacement, which produces 493 hp of peak power. The high-speed mid-engine would be designed for operation with e-fuels. (Image: Porsche)
The A-pillars of the Porsche Vision 357 are black and visually unite the side window surfaces into a single unit. This DLO (daylight opening) graphic resembles the visor of a helmet. (Image: Porsche)
Like all current Porsche models, the Vision 357 features a four-point light signet in front. The round design of the headlights is also a throwback to the characteristic lights of the 356. (Image: Porsche)
There are also parallels in the paintwork: the two-tone concept with Ice Grey Metallic and Grivola Grey Metallic in the nether regions of the front end hearkens back to the grey tones. (Image: Porsche)
