Airstream and Porsche reveal concept travel trailer

1a3adc8b-1ab9-4534-9294-2376e29f1538

The futuristic concept travel trailer has been developed with design firm, Studio F. A. Porsche

The first ‘garageable’ design in Airstream’s 90-year history, the single-axle, 4.99m-long concept travel trailer features advanced aerodynamics, including a new rear shape that sheds air while in motion, and the use of carbon fibre in some components for weight reduction, making it ideal for electric tow vehicles.

Adjustable height suspension allows the trailer to be stored in a standard residential garage, while integrated rooftop solar panels and a lithium battery system make it ideal for off-grid camping.

Inside, large windows and skylights invite the outside in, creating a spacious interior with a pop-up roof and a redesigned rear hatch, which features a hinge-up hatch and a drop-down tailgate where an awning can be attached.

The concept travel trailer’s layout is unlike any other in the current Airstream offering, with a rear dinette seating area converting into a sizeable double bed, and a front washroom adjacent to a galley kitchen, which features a hinge-up counter to create a generous L-shaped workspace.

Airstream President and CEO, Bob Wheeler, says,

 

Innovation is the art of discovering the possible. Our collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche brought talented new eyes and minds to our never-ending process of improving the Airstream experience. It’s a fresh design approach aimed at reaching a broader, more diverse base of potential customers.

Like earlier concept vehicles, the Airstream Studio F. A. Porsche Concept Travel Trailer builds on Airstream’s design DNA and our commitment to aerodynamics to create a vision that is both familiar and excitingly new.

While our concept projects don’t always reach the marketplace, the resulting lessons and innovations often influence present and future designs as they make their way into our main product lines.

Managing Director of Studio F. A. Porsche and Chief Design Officer of the Porsche Lifestyle Group, Roland Heiler, adds,

 

For me, Airstream has always been an iconic brand that has thrived by evolving its products while remaining true to its design DNA – an approach very similar to the philosophy of Studio F. A. Porsche. So, it is not difficult to imagine that we were more than excited when the idea to develop a new iteration of Airstream’s travel trailers finally became reality.
