Porsche does a lot of really cool things outside of building cars. The brand has clothing, shoes, accessories—hell, even skyscrapers. But you won’t be able to buy Porsche’s latest project unless you’re a character in the upcoming video game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Porsche worked with developer Naughty Dog (Crash Bandicoot, Uncharted, The Last of Us) to come up with a custom spaceship specifically for the studio’s newest intergalactic sci-fi thriller. It’s called the Porsche 984 Tempest NDX—hinting at the two-seat concept car from the 1980s that never reached production. And it’s the main means of transportation for the game’s protagonist, bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun.

Beyond the badging, there isn’t much hinting at the ship’s Porsche roots. A massive illuminated “PORSCHE” wordmark covers the back end, of course, with the “984 Tempest NDX” nameplate in the iconic Porsche cursive font just below it. There even appears to be a subtle Porsche crest logo on the exterior of the cockpit that you might be able to spot in the game’s first trailer.
The ship looks plenty futuristic inside with a handful of retro 1980s tech also dotting the cabin, which fits with the game’s Blade Runner-esque aesthetic. It even has a jukebox-style Sony CD player that Mun uses to play some sweet tunes, like, in this case, the Pet Shop Boys.

The game itself doesn’t have a release date, but it probably won’t go on sale until sometime in 2026. As for Porsche, this isn’t the automaker’s first custom-designed spaceship. Back in 2020, Porsche created a “starship” for the then-upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker film dubbed the Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter.
Of the two, we prefer Porsche’s latest take on an intergalactic sports car.
