- Designer imagines a smaller, upright 911 with fat fenders and a wide rear wing.
- Upright front and rear fascias recall classic 911 styling with modern LED lighting.
- Boxier shape gives this fictional Porsche a sharper, more aggressive visual stance.
Over the past decades, the Porsche 911 has gradually grown in size and weight. Sure, it still remains one of the finest sports cars on the market, but adding bulk to a vehicle like this is rarely ever a good thing. This makes us wonder, could the current 992 have been even better if it were smaller and more like the original 911?
These renderings, shared with us by Ukrainian designer Mykola Tarasenko, offer a striking answer. His vision reimagines the 911 as smaller and more compact, yet still distinctly modern. And at first glance? It looks fantastic.

In creating his own 911, Tarasenko has used a familiar Porsche shape but designed front and rear fascias that are more upright than recent generations, yet still look great. The circular headlights immediately catch the eye, as do the thin LED daytime running lights and blacked grille. In classic 911 style, the car has fat front and rear fenders.

Like the current model, the rear end s characterized by a thin light bar stretching the full width of the car. The Turbo version rendered by Tarasenko also includes a large fixed spoiler on the decklid, adding to the bold and sporty looks and serving as a nice throwback to some of the older 911 generations. There are also some distinctive tailpipes back there, although they look unusually small.
Porsche has been building the eighth generation of the 911 since late 2018 and launched the facelifted version for the 2025 model year. The 992 will likely stick around slightly longer than the 991, which was built for only eight years, but the next generation should almost certainly premiere within the next two or three years. While it’s unlikely it’ll be smaller than the 992, we can hope.
