Porsche 919 Street is a wild design concept using the hybrid powertrain of the race car

Porsche has presented a trio of interesting design concepts to the world, including this one; Porsche Street 919.

The Porsche 919 Hybrid has been a very successful endurance race for the German company, with no less than 33 race victories, three constructors’ championships and three driver’s championships. With the 919 Street, Porsche transformed the design and technology of the race car’s powertrain into something that could (theoretically) be driven on the streets.

Created as a 1: 1 scale terracotta model, the Porsche 919 Street has a design that immediately recalls the 919 Hybrid. At the front, it has a pair of large headlights and a short hood contrasted by two domed wheel arches. Like the LMP1 car, the cabin is very advanced and includes a wrap-around windshield and small side windows. A unique set of wheels was also designed for the concept.

Similarities to the 919 Hybrid continue with the shape of the roofline and the great shark. However, while the race car had a massive rear spoiler, the 919 Street instead has a subtle wing that connects the two rear hips and incorporates a full-width LED light bar. There are also two vertical LED light bars that double as aerodynamic elements. Porsche’s 919 Street Savage also features a large diffuser and two tailpipes coming straight out of the bonnet.

Speaking of the powertrain, Porsche envisioned the 919 Street to use the same hybrid drivetrain as the race car, consisting of a turbocharged 2.0-liter V4 with an energy recovery system. It also has the same carbon fiber monocoque, dimensions and wheelbase as the race car.
