Porsche 904 Living Legend Concept
Back when the BMW i8 was first launched, back in 2014, many fans of the brand — and car enthusiasts in general — including myself, felt that it would have been better off with a bigger engine and no electrification. The idea was that its lightweight carbon fiber chassis. Evidently, it was perfectly suited for a compact, lightweight, purist driver’s car. Something like a pure ICE (internal combustion engine) BMW i8 with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual would have been perfect. Turns out, Porsche had a similar idea with a similar project a few years back but, like our dream i8, never came to fruition, either.
It was called the Porsche 904 Living Legend Concept. Apparently, it was created after Porsche saw what Volkswagen was doing with the XL1. Like the BMW i8, the VW XL1 was a carbon-tubbed plug-in hybrid. Except that it weight even less than the i8, at an astonishing 1,800 lbs. So Porsche decided that it would be cool to take that lightweight carbon fiber chassis. Then, throw out the hybrid tech and stuff in a mid-mounted Ducatti-sourced V2 engine. Moreover, Porsche engineers and designers then styled the concept after the classic Porsche 904 of the ’60s.
