Last we heard the rumor mill talk about "the king of supercars," Porsche's 911 series was being heralded as the last ICE-powered model to survive the EV revolution. Which is rather logical, indeed.
Until now, the only fully electric Porsche is the Taycan – which proudly rivals the likes of Tesla's Model S and will probably make the Panamera models obsolete soon. But the company's corner office head honchos have already confirmed the second-generation Macan compact luxury performance crossover SUV will be powered solely by batteries.

And they also gave us the timeline for the Cayman with EV power and then even acknowledged the next generation Cayenne needs to adopt the zero-emissions lifestyle for the next generation that is not coming before 2028 or 2029. So, what else was left – the legendary 911, of course? And how come it will survive on gasoline for so long? Well, it's the nameplate's power – just look at the S650 Ford Mustang doing the same thing while its rivals are dying (Camaro, Challenger) or morphing into EVs (Charger).

Most of its allure derives from the power and elegance that Porsche bestowed upon the series for decades on end. Plus, this cult classic seems to have an unending lease of life that transcends the classic timeframe of passing generations. Just look at the hype surrounding classic air-cooled models and the many companies offering restomods for an arm and a leg.

But what if you have a fairly recent version and want to stand out in a crowd without upgrading to the latest 992 series? Well, you could inspire your aftermarket build after the latest design from an imaginative author dwelling in the dreamy realm of digital car content creators. So, the virtual artist tucked behind the Carmstyledesign moniker on social media drops the American CGI shenanigans to work on 'the king of supercars.'

That's pretty interesting, especially considering he rarely touches the European heroes when preoccupied with the old and new Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, and Chevy Camaro – or the Shelby Cobra. However, there are exceptions, like when he worked on the reinvented Lambo Countach for a restomod of his own or when he dabbled with the Euro-JDM side of the equation for a Toyota GR Supra 'Sport' transformation.

Now, though, he took a 991-series Porsche 911 Turbo S and made it feel like an American sports car – mostly thanks to the reworked front fascia and new headlights. All in all, it's not a bad CGI effort because the pixel master also deployed the rest of his signature tricks – a couple of ritzy shades for the body, massive turbine-style concave aftermarket wheels, wider fender flare front and back, a crazy rear wing, plus a reworked exhaust system to drive the tuning point home. So, do we give this project our CGI hall pass or not?
