Remember when we all thought GenAI tools were just gonna be used for scams involving fake images of bizarre products or scenarios? Well, this isn’t one of those cases. Pictures of a Porsche 911 backpack started popping up online, and yes, the image is totally AI made, but it seems there are actually people out there creating a real version of it.
Heard about the Gorilla Couch trend? If this is new to you, search “Gorilla Couch” and see the madness for yourself. The story goes like this: someone generated some wild images of a gorilla-shaped couch, and boom, the internet wanted it. Instead of it just being a hoax, manufacturers (some from China) took those images and actually made the couch, selling it online. It’s like the internet magically brought an AI creation to life, and now you can even find gorilla couches on Amazon.
The Porsche 911 Backpack’s journey sounds kinda similar. The lifestyle photo above is obviously AI-generated, but sometimes AI can produce some pretty cool images, right? So, it seems like someone decided to actually make this a product. You can check out the prototyping effort below, coming from someone who clearly knows their way around vacuum-molded luggage. It makes sense to mold the outside, giving the backpack a strong shell—though how it’s supposed to open is still anyone’s guess. Maybe it pops open like a car trunk?!
The design of this backpack really shows that the form doesn’t always follow function. The Porsche 911 is such an iconic car, but the shape works for vehicles, not really for fashion. So, what you end up with is a peculiar backpack that looks amazing, but honestly, it’s hard to say what you could fit in it. It’s probably too small for a laptop but could probably hold a lunchbox, a book or two, and maybe some clothes. Still, it definitely checks the box of being stylish. It’s stunning (even if impractical), and that spoiler on the top feels like the cherry on top!
It’s not super clear where this product will be sold (I found these images on Instagram), but you probably won’t find it in your nearby Porsche store. Plus, I noticed the Porsche logo molded on the back, so there’s a potential legal issue there, for sure. Maybe you could check AliExpress or Temu? Given the price of $120, there’s a good chance the bag will either be poorly made or won’t ship at all. Still, does it look cool? Absolutely yes.
