The Porsche Sebring Spyder in an unofficial concept which
was developed by the German designer Marcus Classen -
a 2010 graduate of the Transportation Design course at
Northumbria University, Newcastle, England.
The Porsche Sebring Spyder is a lightweight minimalist
roadster which features numerous design elements inspired
by past Porsche models. The Sebring Spyder's main styling
influence comes from the Porsche 718 W-RS Spyder. But
there's also some input from other Porsche vehicles, including
the Speedster, 356, GT1 and Panamericano concept.
The Porsche Sebring Spyder is a strict two seater, and
there is no weather protection for the occupants aside
from two very small windshields. Thankfully however there
is considerable roll over protection in the form of a
prominent rollbar which is incorporated into the vehicle's
one-piece chassis.
The Porsche Sebring Spyder's chassis is visible throughout
much of the car. It can be seen not only in the aforementioned
rollbar, but also down the length of the hood - where
it effectively splits the car down the middle, and down
the sides of the car where it wraps around and under the
bodywork.
For the Porsche Sebring Spyder, the designer has envisaged
a fully electric drivetrain which features two motors
driving the rear wheels, and a centrally mounted battery
pack which helps keep the car nicely balanced.
