PROJECT 02 • MBD4X4 CAYENNE 957
FORGED AROUND THE MOUNTAINS.
A TerraForge4x4 visual concept based on the MBD4x4 Porsche Cayenne S 957: a 2007 naturally aspirated 4.8-litre petrol model with 224,000 km. MBD describes it as a well-maintained overland-balanced vehicle that remains suitable for everyday city use and longer journeys. The black base vehicle, off-road equipment and original photography are by MBD4x4; the orange mountain livery and black TerraForge show plates are our digital design concept.
