Porsche has teamed up with Star Wars to create a fantasy spaceship called the Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter to celebrate the latest movie in the George Lucas franchise.
The 5ft model, which took two months to create, is to be presented at the Los Angeles premier of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' next month.
The designers say it is a fusion of Porsche and Star Wars DNA, with the curvature of the cockpit inspired by the 911 and Taycan car models.
The spacecraft is fitted with air intakes and lights which are taken from the Taycan's design, while the rear end's slats and lights were drawn from the current 911.

Considering Porsche's history when it comes to designing military vehicles shouldn't it be for the First Order that the Porsche design is used by???? I am sure the engineering is so complicated that idiot Rose Tico would not know how to maintain it.

Can it destroy an INCREDIBLY LARGE and PHENOMENALLY SOPHISTICATED space station the size of a planet with a couple laser shots?
Nah, such thinking is the stuff of movies.

It is the only vehicle in the Star Wars universe that uses the force to elude Empire emissions inspections.

Seriously? That thing will have a helluva time going around corners, not to mention finding a parking space.

Sorry, but I’m just not feeling 911, when I see this.
