[Addition] Porsche and Lucasfilm announce the starship that will appear in the new Star Wars

Spaceship jointly designed by Porsche and Lucasfilm

★ Photos of the spacecraft model and Taycan exhibited in LA have been added at the back of the page (2019.12.17) ★

In October 2019, Star Wars' latest work, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Dawn of Star Wars Skywalker / released December 20, 2019), was announced to have partnered with Porsche, and with that. At the same time, it was announced that the designers of Porsche AG and Lucasfilm Ltd. were jointly designing a spacecraft.

This time, the spaceship (spaceship) that was jointly developed was finally completed and announced on December 13, 2019, so I would like to see it.

This co-developed spacecraft combines the design DNA of two brands, Porsche and Star Wars.

Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter

The name of this spacecraft, which the project team has developed for about two months, is "Triwing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter".

An elaborately crafted model of this spaceship, 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, will be on display at the premiere of Star Wars' latest movie in Los Angeles in December.

Porsche 911, Taycan, 918 Spyder design for spacecraft

The design of this spaceship is not only in harmony with the world view of Star Wars movies, but at the same time it also has Porsche's characteristic styling and proportions, and the following parts are particularly characteristic. It is said that it is a part.

Porsche AG Style Porsche Vice President Michael Mauer said that the shape that gradually narrows toward the rear and the characteristic design from the fly line of the cockpit to the turbine are reminiscent of Porsche 911 and Taycan.

Looking at other details, the headlight is a 4-lamp daytime running light of Taycan itself.

I wonder if the drawing at the design stage here is easier to understand.

expansion. Yeah, the headlights are like Taycan ~. ↓

Also, it seems that there are also air curtains (Air Inlets), so-called there.It seems that it was also the explanation of TaycanIt is the same as the part that says, "The structure that takes in air from the air curtain and lets it escape from the tire house theoretically narrows the width of the vehicle and reduces air resistance."

In the rear direction, there is a third brake light (the red brake light part in the middle of the vertical line) similar to the new Porsche 911 (992).

Immediately after the announcement of the third brake light, 992, it should have been reasonably unpopular in the United States, so it was a bit surprising to incorporate it here ^ ^

Everyone has become accustomed to the 992's third brake light, and in fact it may be that the third brake light has already been accepted.

Furthermore, there is also a single-line light bar like the Porsche 911 on the rear part.

It seems that Porsche Design is also incorporated in the interior, the cockpit instrument is installed so that it is clearly positioned with the driver, and the low seat position is reminiscent of the Porsche 918 Spyder.

Porsche 918 Spyder, I can only imagine because I have never sat down ... and I probably will not have a chance to ride the Triwing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter (long ...) in the future (laugh), so after all , I can only imagine this too ^ ^

By the way, there was also a media that said that this 1 + 2 seater-like thing is like McLaren's F1.

What do long names have in common with Porsche? ??

As for the name of the spacecraft, "Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter" is as long as "Porsche Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid Sport Turismo", and it is interesting because there is a media that says (laughs).

• Tri Wing S-91x Pegasus Star Fighter
• Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid Sports Turismo

Certainly a good game ^ ^

Even so, there are many interesting ways to write American media, and this spaceship is also about this time.

"The real question here isn't Empire or Rebellion, but stick or PDK."
(The question here is not whether this spacecraft is an imperial army or a rebel army, but whether it is a "manual or a PDK").

Or (laughs). I really like these little things.

Certainly, if this is an 8-speed PDK, it would be interesting to say "Yes?" However, a spaceship flies with a mechanism that can be operated with PDK ^ ^

Furthermore, the comments from the general public to these articles are also interesting.

• So Tesla designed the AT-AT? (Then, will Tesla design the AT-AT walker?)
• Does it cost more to take the extra seats out?
• In 2 years there'll be a crossover SUV version. (A crossover SUV version of this will come out in about 2 years)
• When will the GT3 version make its debut?

I really love this kind of light seaweed from overseas. Fun ^^

Star Wars spacecraft with Porsche elements

Although it does not look like "Wow, Porsche!", Star Wars' new spaceship where Porsche Design is actually adopted in various places like the above.

It is uncertain whether it will appear in the movie of the new work "Dawn of Skywalker", but at least the model will be exhibited at the premiere of the movie in Los Angeles, and at that time Porsche Taycan's It is said that the actual vehicle will also be exhibited.

I do not know if the spaceship and Taycan will be exhibited side by side, but if the Taycan and the 1.5 meter spaceship are exhibited side by side, the headlights may be the same, so you may feel a sense of "brotherhood". No ^^

When I was writing, Porsche uploaded a picture of the actual exhibition on Twitter on December 17th. source:Porsche Twitter

When placed side by side with the actual car, the 1.5-meter model looks smaller than I expected, so I wonder if it didn't feel like a brother (laughs). ??

May the Porsche be with you ! (Oh, maybe I just wanted to say this at the end of this blog (laughs))
