Let’s talk for a moment about Porsche 911’s design. In fact, we would like to challenge you a bit. Imagine you could change it and come up with a revolutionary idea. It seems quite hard, doesn’t it? But not impossible, not since this Porsche 901 design concept surfaced online.

We’re sure you’re pretty familiar with 911’s silhouette. You know, that mix of curves and edges that make the Stuttgart coupe one of the most easily recognizable cars in the world, whether you see it in your rearview mirror, in front of you or just passing by on the highway.

One Turkish industrial designer thought that what is old isn’t necessary good. And since he doesn’t have anything to do with Porsche’s management, he could afford the luxury to model the concept by using only his creativity and not a pre-determined direction.

Long story short, Ege Arguden did the utmost to put his imagination to good use and his word paid off because this Porsche 901 makes us think about it in a 50 Shades of Grey way. Call it 50 Shades of 911 if you want to.

Anyway, Arguden set himself a clear goal: refresh Porsche 911’s design by connecting his skills with the car’s past. And that led to interesting things. According to the designer, the 901 Concept is about the same length as the original 911 (4,290 mm / 168.9 in), measuring 4,300 mm (169.3 in), but it is shorter than the current Porsche 991 (4,491 mm / 176.8 in).

The design process started by analyzing the original 911. Both in size and individual design elements I tried to capture 911 in a new way. Signature design elements of the 911 such as round headlights and organic body shape was necessary to achieve my goal, yet I tried to modernize these elements with subtle changes,” explained the designer.

We just hope Porsche sees this and thinks seriously about co-opting Ege Arguden into their design team, as he is no stranger to big name carmakers after completing internships at BMW, Chrysler, VW and Ford.
