While Porsche has yet to enter the motorcycle segment, its recent foray into electric bicycles could be a hint of what’s to come. In the meantime, designers can always share their ideas of what the marque’s future motorized two-wheeler would look like. Simply calling the Porsche Café Racer, we’re looking at one sleek silhouette.
This striking machine is the work of Los Angeles, California-based designer Grace Jesters. With a diverse portfolio of product concepts, the collection of unique mobility platforms is what truly stands out. Given that fans of the German automaker are familiar with its minimalist yet functional approach, this bike takes a distinctive direction instead.
With the outstanding success of its green motoring venture, it makes sense that the Porsche Café Racer would be emission-free. As the official description notes, the lower segment of its frame features a Harman/Kardon speaker system. Furthermore, this is likely where the electric drive unit also resides.
Since EVs and electric motorcycles are virtually silent, the audio component can generate engine sounds. Not only does it make the riding experience more immersive, but it is also for the awareness of pedestrians and other motorists. Meanwhile, the aesthetics are style and performance.
The Porsche Café Racer is available in two color schemes. So far, we like the version rendered in white with elements in fuchsia/pink with a rose gold headlight surround. Nevertheless, the tonal gray with red and black hardware is equally dazzling.
Overall, it exudes a retro-futuristic vibe with an aviation-inspired outline. From the configuration of its saddle and handlebars, the Porsche Café Racer demands an aggressive riding position. The rear sports a single-sided swingarm, while the front flaunts custom fork guards.
