    I don't know how to describe it, other than it doesn't look Porsche to me. I see some McLaren F1 lines in it, some Koenig... in it, etc. but no Porsche DNA.

    I like it, but agree with everyone else that it doesn't look like a Porsche to me.

    I haven't heard of a new Porsche sharing that platform but I can see it happening. I guess this is the 458/650S competitor. The question is that by the time this comes out, what will the 458/650S look like ?

    Will it be AWD or RWD
    Hybrid ?
    Turbo ?
    Price 300-350 ?

    There is a lot to consider in that market segment. I do think though that this will basically be the next GT2/2RS. I can't see them offering that car as a 991/992 variant.

    Only a matter of time... maybe fairly soon.. before we see Porsches on VW platforms.

    Why not R8/Lambo also?

    A little bit of Koenigsegg, a little bit of LaFerrari...

    Nobody noticed the race car version with the Gulf livery reflected on the floor in the side view?
    Very heavy looking design with that high front end and too busy with all the various body carvings. The front track made wider than the rear track is another poor visual design choice.
    The much cleaner Ferrari Italia design looks like a land speed record holder by comparison.

    Yep, saw the Gulf reflection.


    Keep in mind that this is not a Porsche design at all.

    Purely the imagination of the artist, Garcia.

    I don't see much "Porsche" in it.

    Not crazy with that design. Seems too much like a blend of other cars.

    I'm on the list for the 960, but told don't expect it until 2016.

    As a long time Porsche owner, owned over a dozen, I am disappointed with the 991 GT3 flip flops. I had a paint to sample confirmed for Feb 2015 euro delivery and now all GT3 production probably ends this December. The GT3 RS will be a very limited build cycle with some going to 918 owners. Seems the 2015 push will be for the GT4, a 125K Cayman. It was easier for me to order a new Ferrari model than a Porsche.
