They build a hybrid between a 911 and a DS

[alert type = 'success'] 22:50 pm: We are forced to urgently rectify this information. The 911DS project is just a virtual design that a large part of the Internet has made a reality. We apologize to our readers, assuring them that from now on we will exercise extreme caution in contrasting news sources. [/ alert]

The company's designers brandpowder -whose corporate purpose is not easily determinable- they embarked some time ago on an unusual project. It was about making what for them is the perfect car, born from the fusion of a Porsche 911 and a Citroën DS (!).

The result, dubbed the 911DS, is shocking to say the least. The wild idea has presented great technical difficulties, even for the most expert mechanics, since the differences in weight, shape and, above all, general conception between the two automotive icons are exceptional.

Stewart Johnson, a renowned mechanical engineer, was called upon to accomplish the feat, who, after giving the company the key to the project - how to embed the six-cylinder boxer model from Stuttgart in the rear of a DS - agreed to lead it. Of course, in return he demanded to be the first to drive the hybrid.

Finally, the issue of the propeller was resolved by turning it horizontally 90 degrees in the engine compartment - in search of a lower center of gravity - and advancing the rear seats about 25 centimeters. Another problem was the height of the assembly, which was solved by raising the length of the windshield and, therefore, that of the roof of a conventional 911.

Why?

Regarding the chassis, at Brandpowder they have opted for a customized aluminum structure, with the aim of achieving a suitable platform on which to mount the two fundamental parts of the vehicle.

It may sound cliché, but they seem to have gotten a good German champagne. At least that's what the British driver Ralph Klein said after testing it, who has led to countless headlines.

Also, that the car is used as a symbol of European harmony. Following Klein's statements, Brandpowder sent invitations to go to see the strange machine to the presidents of Germany and France, Angela Merkel and François Hollande, who supposedly accepted and traveled to the Hockenheim circuit to verify how curiously they can complementing their two countries in the automotive field.

Finally, it is worth noting that, apart from the people mentioned and the manufacturer's team, no one else has been able to see 911DS.
