Actually it was Porsche Vision racing service not intended for the public. It was shown last year, but only from the outside. Now there are also insights into his interior.
In November 2020, Porsche presented 15 previously unknown studies that were developed by the design department between 2005 and 2019. One of the secret projects was the futuristic electric van “Vision Racing Service Concept”, which was built in 2018: 1 format as a hard model in 1. Now Porsche has made up for it to also provide insights into the inner workings of the future vision, which is very unusual for the brand.
Inside the ID.Buzz
The interior is accessed via a mighty portal on the right-hand side of the vehicle with two door elements that swing to the left and right. The generous opening dispenses with an annoying B-pillar, which makes it easier to get into the three rows of seats. At the front there is a centrally positioned individual seat for the driver. Its cockpit offers a typical one Porsche steering wheel, behind it there is a large display, which, however, shows round instruments in the classic analog look. The van is equipped with virtual rear-view mirrors, the camera images of which show large displays to the left and right of the steering wheel.
The driver's seat can be rotated 180 degrees. Directly behind it are two individual sports seats and, in row three, a continuous back seat. The latter offers floating headrests as a special feature, which is supposed to improve the view to the rear. The backrest of the rear seat nestles far into the left flank of the vehicle, which reinforces the cocooning effect due to the lack of side windows on the right-hand side. The Porsche designers have considered touchscreens where side windows are normally located, on which you can surf the net, for example.
Despite the insights now granted, the racing service van is still just an experimental vision, which, according to Porsche, can help to question familiar conventions and thought patterns in order to perhaps reinvent Porsche one day.
