From Porsche:

Under the title “Porsche Unseen”, Porsche is for the first time publishing design studies from 2005 to 2019 which have until now been kept under lock and key. The sports car manufacturer is showing spectacular visions of 15 different cars. In this way, Porsche is offering an exclusive insight into its design process – from the very first drawing to the finished model ready for series production.

Porsche 919 Street

The Porsche 919 Street (2017; 1:1 clay model) was developed on the basis of the technology used in the Porsche 919 Hybrid, promising to make the exhilarating driving experience of the LMP1 race car available to amateur drivers. Under the outer shell are the carbon monocoque and powerful 900 PS hybrid racing drivetrain that helped the Porsche 919 to achieve numerous victories at Le Mans. The dimensions and wheelbase were also the same as on the race car.

Porsche Vision Spyder

With its spartan, puristic cockpit, the characteristic radiator grilles over the mid engine, red graphic elements and the suggested fins at the rear, the compact Porsche Vision Spyder (2019; 1:1 hard model) clearly calls to mind the Porsche 550-1500 RS Spyder from 1954. At the same time, the study was intended to further develop the design identity of Porsche and provide a pool of ideas for future details – for example, the ultra-modern roll bar.

Porsche Vision "Renndienst"

The Porsche vision “Renndienst” (2018; 1:1 hard model) is the free interpretation of a family-friendly space concept for up to six persons. The design team designed a futuristic “space shuttle“ with exciting proportions. The study shows how the Porsche design DNA with its characteristic surface modelling can be transferred to an unknown vehicle segment for the brand. In the interior, passengers find a comfortable and modular travel cabin. The driver sits in a central driver's seat. The all-electric drive technology is located in the underbody. As a result, passengers can enjoy an unexpectedly generous space and travel experience combined with Porsche-like flair.

More to follow as the days pass...
 
any idea what this from the background could be? new macan? or something else?

Some sites are claiming it is the new Macan. Could be... and if it is, it looks like a massive improvement over the current one.

All of them are incredibly well designed, the 960 Turismo is my personal favorite, is there any chance it will come to life?
 
I am digging the 960 as well. I forgot that was the one on a front-engine platform that was supposed to be the 928's spiritual successor.

I hope the purported 961, which was rumored to be the little brother to the 918 without the hybrid bits, is shown. That's the one I am very curious about.

The 960 turismo is basically the current panamera.

That "Li'l Rebel" hommage (the James Dean "Li'l Bastard" 550 RS Spyder) Vision Spyder really blows me away. I'm seeing quite a bit that could find its' way onto the electric Boxster/Cayman successors.

...and the rims on the 919 Street are off the charts !
 
919 Street is bound to make production as the 918 successor. It's no coincidence that Porsche keeps around that shape for multiple concept hypercars now.

But that minivan is mad hot though.

The Vision Spyder is becoming increasingly more compelling the more I scrutinize the images. In terms of its' exterior design, it could be a significant precursor. Preceding the official presentation of the Taycan, there was an abundance of innuendo pertaining to the introduction of various J1-plarformed Porsche-brand derivatives. With the official presentation of the production Taycan Sport(Cross) Turismo immenent, can we anticipate further variants ? A 2 door, 2+2 J1-underpinned GT coupe + convertible, for example ? The "preemptive" message from Porsche AG that "we'll build the ICE 911 for as long as the market desires it and it will be VAGs' most enduring gasoline-powered car" while, at the same time, reminding the target market that BEVs' are indeed the future and even the 911 is existing on (albeit generously) borrowed time ? It could be a "test balloon" not unsimilar to that of the late 1970s' "928 versus 911 Experiment".
 
The Vision Spyder looks pretty dope. Although it certainly doesn't have the overall dimensions of the 550. Would be pretty hard to design a car that small these days, with crash regs being what they are, but then if you did it, the achievement would be all the greater! Still, pretty nice.

The 919 Street is interesting, but I hope it's not how the 918 successor is gonna look. The modern prototypes aren't exactly the best looking machines. And I would also hope for something more practical and unique. Not just a copy of the LMP1 shape.

Porsche has already used the 961 designation.

“The Porsche Vision E concept was supposed to capitalize on the marketing opportunity from the brand's Formula E entry to create an electric, track-only hypercar. The vehicle made it to the 1:1 hard model development stage.”
-Motor1

All of those concepts look incredible, but this one stands out. Some of these design ideas might eventually make it one way or the other.
