Porsche Star Wars Starfighter!

Just in time for the release this week, Porsche met with the VP and executive creative director for Lucasfilm, plus the designers behind the curtains, to bring us an iconic mix between the X-Wing, Y-Wing, and U-Wing. This vessel will be the fastest ship in the galaxy, how about that Tesla, errrr we mean Han Solo!

Watch the video below to get all the details. Can you spot the design elements incorporated by Porsche vehicles? Name them below! Don't cheat! Try to name it before you see the details for yourself.

I'm not so sure Dilavar wings was such a smart choice, they are going to break right off.

It’s wider, heavier, and not as iconic as the air cooled x wing

And a relay for the headlights and highbeams instead of running the power through the switches!

And what's the deal with the HVAC controls?!? (I always really liked the old 911 HVAC controls, but it a thing...)

Honestly, I've never felt comfortable with hyperdrive being against the spring to the right, directly in front of reverse.

You can look at the cup holder, but if you even think of using it, it breaks and costs 800 bucks to fix.

I think there’s litigation involved, though.
