“Exploring the possibilities for a new generation of outdoor adventurers.”

Our recently teamed up with the legendary American caravan company Airstream. The result of this collaboration is the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer, an ultralight, garage-ready travel trailer concept for the ever-changing world of campervan adventures. The concept builds on Airstream’s iconic design cues while reinventing caravan owner’s experience.

 

Building on the legacy of Airstream, this concept design innovates the aerodynamics of this travel trailer. The trailer’s shell shape was defined through advanced computer-aided aerodynamic testing using full-scale models of the concept. A new rear design and a flush underside allow air to flow smoothly while driving.

Among the many innovations incorporated into the design, the concept primarily addresses the evolving RV market.

A pop-up roof provides additional headroom inside, and—combined with a lowered chassis—it also allows city dwellers to park their own RV in a standard garage. Using 3D renderings, 1:3-scale models, and extensive computer-aided wind tunnel tests, the conceptual evolution of Airstream’s signature riveted aluminum exterior was brought to life.

The concept’s interior design maximizes the use of space to enhance the owner’s experience. Windows and skylights create a sense of spaciousness and connect people with the beauty of their surroundings.

In designing the concept’s interior, our designers placed particular emphasis on flexibility. An innovative seating area in the rear can be converted from a dining area into a workspace or a relaxation area.

The versatile seating area can be converted from a dining area into a large sleeping area (82″ x 61″) in no time at all. Thanks to the adjustable seats, owners can enjoy the view through the open hatch.

It remains to be seen whether the concept will ever become a reality. Whether as a full-fledged new model, as inspiration for another travel trailer, or as a source of innovation for other products. The Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer is now part of the Airstream family.
