First Looks at Porsche 929

Juliana Cho is a genius when it comes to designing eco-conscious, sleek, futuristic cars.  The people at Porsche were smart (and very lucky) when they hired Ms. Cho as an intern. The Masters student who studies at the Royal College of Art has come up with a design for a new Porsche, the Porsche 929. Special features of this car include an electrically powered engine, suicide doors and a unique parking mechanism.  Because of the car’s prestige and rarity, it will be exclusive to a members only group in which members will share a fleet of cars. An individual charging outpost will be available to 929 drivers only. The car is in the beginning stages of design, but hopefully Cho’s innovative idea makes it to production!

Porsche 929: 2026 Status Update

This 2011 article previewing the rumored Porsche 929 remains one of the most-searched topics related to Porsche’s supercar ambitions. While Porsche has not officially produced a production model called the “929,” the brand has dramatically expanded its performance lineup since this article was published — including the Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid hypercar (2013-2015), the all-electric Taycan (2019), and the next-generation 911 GT variants. Porsche continues to push boundaries with electrification and hybrid technology, and enthusiasts continue to speculate about a halo supercar that would carry the spiritual mantle of a “929.”
